Hi,

Good Morning and Merry Christmas.

You mean patrynomics.
Caused me many a headache until Evan John named his son Evan and gave birth to our Evans Line

Sorry forgot to say Merry Christmas!

Yeah partynomic thats what I was thinking of, I just dont understand it at all! What would I put in to find David Andrew?

[Fisherman]

If patrynomics come into play David Andrew's father would have the surname David.

It works like this
John David would name his son william, William would be known as William (ap) John.
Ap meaning son of.
Thats how we got surnames like Price (from ap Rice) Powell from (ap Hywel) Pritchard (from ap Richard) etc.
Think I got it right

Hi Duke, Chris, Peter 

I've got a lot of Montgomeryshire records and, if you can wait a while, I'll go through them to see if I can find anything more about this family.

Season's Greetings

Hi 

Just a bit more to add ~

Marriage: June Quarter, 1860, Newtown, vol 11b, page 443

David Andrew and Hannah Evans are on the same page.

This should list David's parents. father (Amended - I've been doing too many Scottish look ups  )


The only baptism circa 1825 that I can find is the one that Chris found - May 1825, parents David Andrew and Elizabeth (Reply #17 above)


The latest marriage that I can find is this one. If it is the correct one then they would have been married 18-19 years by the time David was born:

13 Sept 1806 Betws Cedewain:  David Andrew ( son of Thomas Andrew, Tregynon) and Elizabeth Williams (d/o Thomas Williams). By Licence.
Witnesses - James Davies and Richard Pryce.

Llanwddelan, Tregynon and Betws Cedewain aren't too far apart.

If the 1806 marriage is them, the index to the licences and allegations are all up on the National Library site:

You can then get the reference and order a copy from Aberystwyth.
