Elinor Beynon, help.......................

[Helina]

Looking for any information on the any family belonging to Elinor Beynon, born 1809 (c) Oxwick, Polmer, Wales. she married in Bristol 1838 to John Coole, and died again in Bristol 1907.  Only thing I know her father was called David.

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

think that might be Oxwich, Gower - plenty of Beynons in that area!

osprey,
Do not know Wales that well so you could be right.  Also I realize that its a shot in the dark with a surname called Beynon but thought I would give it a go.

My mother's family name was Williams, dreaded researching her side, but no the Williams were farmers and stayed in the same village for years. Went back to 1772 in one afternoon on the internet, shocked and pleasantly surprised.

Yes checked her out in the census
1861 P?,Glamorgan
1871 Porlmer?,Glamorganshire(Thats what its transcribed as Its not that but cant read it)
1881 South Wales
1891 Gower,Glamorgan
1901 Wales
An Oxwich is in the Gower in the county of  Glamorgan as Ospreys already said .
Best Wishes Welsh Lady

think the place of birth on 1861 and 1871 might be Port Eynon written as one word - it's a couple of miles form Oxwich.

Osprey yes just had another look myself and had come to the same conclusion.
Good Luck Helina

unfortunately, seem to be at least 2 David Beynons of similar age in the area
1841 Overton Village H0107/1424/29 folio 9 pg 9
David Beynon 65 farmer
David 35
Mary 30
Ann 5
John 2
plus 5 servants including Ann Beynon 15 and John Eynon 10

Overton Village H0107/1424/29 folio 10 pg 11
David Beynon 60
Bridget 60
Margaret Williams 2

marriages
David Bynon of Port Eynon m Mary Thomas of Port Eynon 1/1/1797 in Port Eynon

David Bynon of Port Eynon m Bridget Fox of Port Eynon 2/4/1804 in Port Eynon

There's another marriage for a David Bynon in Penrice in 1796 - Port Eynon is the parish to the west of Oxwich, Penrice to the north mainly. There's also a David Beynon marrying in Llanrhidian around the time, but that's a little bit further away.

One of the Davids was buried 25/8/1846 aged 74.

Sorry, I don't have baptisms for the area, although someone else on the site might with any luck. If not, Glamorgan Family History Soc have transcriptions of baptisms for Port Eynon - not sure about Oxwich, though.
