Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Re: WILLIAM SULLIVAN BIRTH about 1846
« on: Tuesday 13 September 11 22:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi again. I meant Church records - Just in the habit of using the phrase Parish as I have looked at so many birth and marriage records lately and they normally show the Church and I tend to link Parish and Church.

I did read somewhere that people were a bit resistant to the "laws" of registering initially. Might explain my missing William SULLIVAN in the civil register.

Thank you for all the links ,  hopefully I can now find some more of the SULLIVAN side of my family and their story.

Thank you so much. I guessed you would know. Just to be sure - these were both RC churches in the 1868 - -  period? I had a look but it seemed to me that there were no parish churches for the period I was looking. Clearly I wasn't looking in the right places.

If confirmed then does this mean the archives hold the Parish BMD records? Or just records of the Church itself? Hopefully you confirm yes and then I can plough on there while waiting the other archives to complete their office move.

Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the information about where the records are. Is St Albans the only RC source for Monmouthshire?

Is the County Record office is the only place that holds RC records? If so then I will just have to be patient.

William moved to Canton sometime by 1871. Do you know from your experience where the RC records are held for Canton/Cardiff? I thought I would ask before posting elsewhere. So far - I have had no responses to this question I posted elsewhere.

Thanks again. I don't know my way around Wales Family History so any tuition very gladly received.

Yes I may have to spend my hard earned to check this marriage. Parish registers are so much more useful. She may have been a widow and the Formerly Name may be her maiden name not her name that she married under - if you see what I mean.

The missing birth may also suggest that William may not be his birth name. I have many Irish in my family and they are very fond of the use of pet names and middle names etc.

Maybe someone on the boad may by chance be a SULLIVAN of this clan.

Thanks for the help - much appreciated

Hi,

The marriage with Julia is the ONLY one I can find in FREEBMD that seems possible. BUT census and childrens Birth certificates all say ANN. That is why I thought a Catholic register (if possible) might find it.

I also have the 1851 census and again it seems the only one that matches. BUT I cannot find a birth for William , again maybe RC registers.

One of Williams sons - James is my Grandfather who migrated to OZ. His marriage certificate also says b Pontypool and parents William and ANN.

Thanks for the help - still fingers crossed

Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / WILLIAM SULLIVAN BIRTH about 1846
« on: Tuesday 13 September 11 09:24 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to track down my SULLIVAN family. M g-grandfather WIlliam SULLIVAN and wife Ann DONEGAN .  I am after Williams birth which according to census would be about 1846 and says born Pontypool. I have able to find one William in 1851 census (Trevethin, Monmouthshire) that seems about right. If so his father was Daniel SULLIVAN and mother Mary. Both born Cork Ireland.

William's marriage to Ann also not found and they were living in Canton by 1871 with one son Daniel (aged 1)

I can't see anything in freebmd though. Also on the look for how to find if any catholic registers for the area.

Fingers crossed

Bill,

I will have a look at that site. I contacted the Lambeth Palace archives and they very kindly (and quickly) looked up Crockfords for me. No charge but suggest a donation would be nice. Fair enough. Very helpful.

Crockford only gives a summary of locations where he served. I will have to contact local records to find out more about him. Still  a bit closer but still no idea what happened to his wife or if they had family? Onwards and ....

Thanks again for your help and advice.

Thank you Bill. It will take me a while to work through the links but it does not look hopeful so far. Trust me to have family that is after the online DB that only goes to 1900 and before Crockfords that seems to start at 1968!

The Bermuda Triangle of Clergy.

Fingers crossed for me

Occupation Interests / Church of England Clergy after 1900
« on: Sunday 03 April 11 00:28 BST (UK)  »
Does anyone know if there is a record of clergy AFTER 1900. I am looking for some information on Alexander St John HEARD. I know he was rector at Mulbarton in Norfolk from 1944 - 55 and it appears he died in 1955. I am trying to find what happened to his wife and family and anything at all really as the above is all I have about his life after he returned to Uk from Australia in 1925. His father was also a clergyman "Henry James Heard" as was his grandfather "John Bickford HEARD". 2 Brothers Henry Fitzgerald HEARD (known as Gerald HEARD the philosipher and writer) and Robert Jame Bannatyne HEARD who died in WW1 in Egypt.

He was born Ireland as was his father.

Thanks for any help
