There are Harriet ROWLANDs on the 1851 Glamorgan Census, but they are a very young age.

The only George ROWLAND I found is at the follwing address:

Welsh Jen, thanks for your reply with the 1861 census.
That is my family.

Hannah is listed as 'Hannah EDWARDS EVANS' - I don't know if she was previously marriage to a Mr EDWARDS, or if that was her maiden name...

I am also having difficulty finding a St Mary's in Gloucestershire... I'll have to post a query on the Gloucestershire section of this board...

John EVANS birthplace of Llansillin is on the Denbighshire/Montgomeryshire border - hence the confusion.

Not to burden Welsh Jen too much, I thought I'd help with your query.
I too have the 1841 & 1851 Glamorgan census CD's.

The above lists Charles DAVIES born c 1828 / 1829.

There is a Milford in South West Wales - aka 'Milford Haven'.

Do you have Sarah's maiden name ?

Welsh Jen,
Could you please look up the following family on the 1861 Glamorgan census...

John EVANS (b 1822?), wife Hannah (b 1821)
son Allen John (b 1858), dau Margaret Mary (b1860)

I am led to believe they were living in the Llantrisant / Tonyrefail area.

John EVANS originated from Denbighshire, and I am trying to find out where Hannah came from. I think it is Gloucester(shire)

The Common Room / A 'grave' question...
« on: Tuesday 20 January 04 18:24 GMT (UK)  »
Is it the norm for only members of a family to be buried in a cemetery grave ? (Cemetery opened mid 19th century)

I had access to the index of my local cemetery, and in an ancestors grave there appear to be other people that are seemingly not related to me.

If it is only family that are buried in one plot, then I can spread my search by looking at these 'other' names.

There was no headstone for reference.

The cemetery did have a free online index, but has now gone over to CD only by subscription  :(

Thanks for your quick reply.

The witness names are from my GG grandparents marriage certificate dated Dec 24th 1884. They were married in Brent Knoll, Somerset.
The witness's surname doesn't appear to be related to my family, it was just my curiosity in trying to make out what her surname was.

I was interpreting it as 'Glafs' - but haven't found any other reference to the name.


It also gave me a chance to try out the 'add an attachment' system on your website. This should prove extremely useful.

Looking for help as to the possible surname of a marriage witness.
The name I am trying to decipher is the first witness's surname.

I have attached an image file (my first attempt). I hope it works....
