Caernarvonshire / Re: Household in Lodgings at Bangor
« on: Tuesday 04 August 15 16:07 BST (UK)  »
You are very welcome sallyyorks :)    These new leads should help you on your way further back. 

It's been a few years since researching my lead mining families in North Wales of Denbighshire and Flintshire.  I got lucky by finding a link back to Youlgreave, Derbyshire so a lot more fell into place for the families I was searching for.   

I hesitated a few months ago when it came to clear out the printed books but now I'm glad I kept them   ;)

All the best
Heather

In the Llanarmon-yn-Ial parish register transcripts published by the Clwyd FHS, there is a marriage in 1801 between Robert SMITH and Sarah SIMON.

Also a Llanarmon-yn-Ial burial for a Robert SMITH, age 58 in 1834.   

In 1776 there is a baptism at Llanarmon yn Ial for a Robert SMITH, s/o Thomas and Rose.

I checked for a baptism for Sarah SIMON at Llanarmon but it is not appear to be recorded at that location.

Upon checking the Mold baptisms, there is one for a Sarah SIMON in early 1785, d/o John (miner) and Mary.

Many of the lead mining families migrated from Derbyshire to Flintshire then Denbighshire during the early to mid 18th century, hence the proliferation of "English" surnames in the registers!

Hope this helps

Caernarvonshire / Re: Llanllyfni marriage
« on: Sunday 02 August 15 11:59 BST (UK)  »
Hello big g

I found this marriage on scans I have of the microfiche of Arfon Marriages 1813-1837 produced by the Gwynedd FHS.

Not much extra info to help though.  Except that the marriage was performed after Banns, with Robert from the parish of Llandwrog and Ellin from Llanllyfni, both listed as single.   Find my past has the same information as family search without an image.  As far as I know marriages in 1813 did not indicate fathers names.  It is therefore likely that the most you could hope from viewing an image of the actual parish register might be another identifying factor such as a farm name. 

Hope this helps.

The Lighter Side / Re: Four Trees -Our Great Grandmothers

I'm sure I posted on this thread years ago - forgotten when :-[

My eldest G Grandmother was born in 1832 - 120 years before me! 

I'm curious if any Rootschatters have older g grandmothers?

Caernarvonshire / Re: 1808 marriage Clynnog Vawr

Thank you to everyone for your kindness and help.  This marriage is out of step with "known unknowns" so I must proceed very cautiously.

As usual in piecing together our family histories the pieces of puzzle are tantalizing but never proof positive as they almost always lead to further mysteries.   This is doubly true in North Wales due to patronymics and the commonality of names!

All the best
Heather

Thank you Emyr. 

They have helped me in the past when the ledger is readable/scannable.  I live in Vancouver so it is a long process to get an international money order.   I just wish they would charge more and allow either paypal or cc payment of some kind...

Best wishes

Caernarvonshire / 1808 marriage Clynnog Vawr
« on: Monday 16 February 15 19:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there
I have found a marriage (family search) Dec 23, 1808 between John Roberts and Jane Morris.  Does anyone know if the parish registers for Clynnog Vawr are available on findmypast or ancestry?   Ideally I want to view or obtain a copy of the register entry with witness signatures etc.  if that is feasible.
