Hello,

Can anyone help?

My Gt Gt Grandmother was Martha Hope, born c1834 in Nantwich, Cheshire. In the 1861 census, she is visiting her parents as Matrtha Moulton, aged 27, a Carter's Wife.

She is there again in 1871, (aged 35 ) with an 8 year old son, William Moulton, born in Montgomery, South Wales.

In later censuses, William records his birthplace as Crossinvar (I assume, a phonetic interpretation), Wales. In the 1901 Census, though, it looks like Crosinbar and someone has, it seems, written Carmarthenshire next to it. It may be somewhere like Croes (or Groes) yn fawr (or bach).

Anyway, I can't locate his birth, his father, nor his place of birth.

Can anybody help?

Thanks

Neil

Hello,

Can anyone shed any light on the family of Nancy Pennelt?

She was born c1893 and she married Sam Spencer 18th April 1914 at St John's Church, Cleckheaton. I understand they soon had a child, who may have been named Frank.

Nancy's father was William Pennelt, and they lived on The Mount, Gomersall.

Can anyone help fill in the gaps?

Thankyou

Neil

Just to add a footnote -

Mary Owen, 19, General Servant, was the second daughter of my gt gt grandparents, William and Martha Owen, who lived in Coole Lane, Baddington.

Small world!
