Hi
I've been trying to track down the death of Joseph Cantle who disappears from the census records after 1841. In the 1841 census he resided at Tonnewydd Row, Llangynwyd Higher with his wife Hannah and children. Any help on checking local records would be gratefully received.  He married Hannah in Llangynwyd parish church on 18 May 1836.

Regards

Hi

I've been researching a Benajamin Jones born around 1874 in Michaelstone Super Avon (Cwmavon) and believed his parents were William and Margaret Jones. William was an engine driver and born around 1837-1840 in Carmarthenshire.

The census for 1881 has them residing at 20 Miners Row with another son John (17) and daughter Elizabeth (13), Benjamin is 7.  [The 1891 census has the parents still residing with Benjamn (17) and daughter Margaret].

I ordered what I thought was the correct birth certificate for Benjamin only to find  that the parents were listed as William Jones and Hannah Jones formally Isaac.  The occupation of the father was also Engine driver. This Benjamin was born on 13 April 1873 at 24 Tymaen Street, Michaelstone Super Avon.

Request:I would be very grateful if someone could look up the births/christenings in Michaelstone Super Avon for any Benjamin Jones around 1873/4. 

Note: I had wondered if his father might have remarried in the 10 years from 1871 census to 1881 but the children listed on various census records dont match that well. For instance one that I found with William Jones and wife Hannah have the children William, Mary, Martha and Elizabeth. Its conceivable all of the children bar Elizabeth may have left home by 1881 if William had remarried but Elizabeth's age in 1871 is 6 not 3. Still possible I suppose but I'd rather know if there are more Benjamin Jones's residing in the village born around 1873 so any help would be very welcome.

Hi

I would be very grateful if someone could look up birth/christening records for William Cantle who married a Lucy Britten at St Mary's Bitton in 1803 but who also had his children christened at St Ann's Oldland and Hanham. I'm assuming he was from the Bitton area but have no clues about his parentage.  Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm assuming he was born in the 1770's/80's but have no hard facts to back that up.
His wife remarried in 1834.

Hi

I'm looking for any parish records on John Ironsides and Mary Mudford who married in Long Bredy on 17 April 1750.  Any details on children would be much appreciated.

I'm particularly interested to know if they had a daughter Adria born in 1750. There seems to be a lot of confusion in the Familysearch records on who the parents were of Adria Ironside born in 1750.
