Well I have some new info that I did not have yesterday. I now have Joseph Gwynne 1890 soldier record.

Also Joseph on the 1911 and 1921 census info.

Still researching as I can send to Patti's relatives.

I think I have but can't get a copy of the certificate until next week.  As a relative beginner I find it fascinating how you experienced researchers track down information

All the best for 2023.

Sandy

Thank you, yes I have.

Hiding in plain sight, right enough. No idea why it's taken so long for me to find her there.

Best wishes

All the best for 2023 to you too Scott.

If I can help you with anything that Rockford can't just ask.

My son-in-law is a Gwynne.
Have traced his line back to Charles Gwynne (b1765, Bridgenorth, Shropshire).

Family were in Oldham by 1891.

Hello,

I'm sure we are all related somehow!

With Gwyn meaning White in Welsh, it does seem that the surname originated there and using some websites that show a 'heatmap' of where the name is most common, Wales and to a much lesser extent, Ireland, seem to be the hotspots.

Although my Gwynne folks have an Irish connection rather than a Welsh one, the reference to William Gwynne being a soldier opens up the possibility that he may have arrived in Ireland from elsewhere.  That's certainly the case with another branch of my family.

Some of my Gwynne relations moved from Kirkcaldy and Stirling to Worcester and Kidderminster in the early 20th century, but I've no evidence yet from any travel the other way.  The attraction for the move south was continued employment in the carpet industry, in which various members of the family had worked in Scotland.

I haven't spent a lot of time trying to established the family tree beyond James Gwynne and Bessie Dale, as the sheer number of permutations of spelling make it very hard to be definitive - especially once the confusion with Quin starts making an appearance!  It makes my research on my Smith line seem so much easier

@Seahall - I hadn't made the connection to the chat earlier in the year on TalkingScot - at least the information I've given in both places matches!

Best wishes

Brian
