Carmarthenshire Look Up Request

[Jueb1962]

I am trying to trace the birth of my 2x great grandmother - Eleanor Conick, formerly Eleanor George, abt 1800.

She married my 2xgreat grandfather Thomas Conick in 1842 in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan and settled there to have their family - my great grandmother Ann Conick was born in 1848 in Dowlais.

On their marriage certificate Eleanor's age just says "full".   Eleanor's father is down as William George, a tailor.  I have been able to find two William George's in the 1841/1851 Censuses.  In 1841 he is age 80, living in Cwmisbfail Village, Llangendeirne, Carmarthenshire, with wife Margaret George age 80.
He is a tailor.

In 1851 they are still in Llangendeirne - William 89 a "taylor pauper" and Margaret 94. 

I have traced Eleanor in the 1851 census where her birth is just down as Carmarthenshire then I can't find her until 1881 when she is still in Glamorgan and her birth is down as Llanegwad, Carmarthenshire.

I really need to find out whether or not this William George is Eleanor Conick's father.  Is there anyone who would be kind enough to check records for me and also find Eleanor's birth record??

I live in Kent and its going to be some time before I can get to the records office myself so any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Julie,

I have found something on Freereg

Eleanor George Born 25 March 1796 Bap 27 April 1796 Daughter of William and Anne George at St Peters Church Carmarthan


There is also a Margaret who was bapized on the same day dob is listed as 27 Mar 1971 which must be a transcription error could be 1791(two middle numbers transposed)
same parents

Freereg.org.uk

a fantastic site where lots of early births deaths and marriages are on line.

not all areas are transcribed yet so there are lots of gaps eg marriages in Carmathan are not yet done

but I have got lots of really useful info from there.

Type in a name for your search  enter a county-this is mandatory and click search -  very very good

Have fun

this could well be my eleanor but shame mother's name ann does not match with that of Margaret and William in 1841 and 1851 censuses.  Great site!!!
