Lampeter Velfrey
« on: Tuesday 01 June 10 11:37 BST (UK) »
I am trying to go back further on my family tree.  My Great Grandfather William Davies was born in Lampeter Velfrey.  His grandfather was John Walters born in Lampeter Velfrey in 1802.  He married Theodoshia Watts in 1833 in Lampeter Velfry, she was born in Llandawke in 1809. Their daughter  Elizabeth (William's mother) was born in Lampter Velfry in 1839 and married John Davies (born in 1840 inColby Wiston)  in 1862. William was born in 1862.  I have all the census details from 1841 but cannot go back any further.  Can anyone help please.
Many thanks

I note that William Watt of Llandawke Carmarthenshire a labourer married Elizabeth Scourfield 28th August 1784 at St Clears Carmarthenshire.
I note the baptism of a John Davies at Wiston in 1840 and a William Davies at Lampeter Velfrey in 1863.
I can find no reference to the baptism of an Elizabeth Walter(s) at Lampeter Velfrey circa 1839. I also checked for Elizabeth Waters since this would not be the first time time that I have found that the surnames Waters and Walters have been confused, but nothing found.

Thank you very much for your help.  I didnt have the parents of Theodosia Llandawke.  Also is there any reference to John Davies Wiston's parents in the baptism or how can I find out more.

Thank you again
Regards

I have just been looking at the details I have and have found the parents of John Davies, Thomas Davies born Wiston 1806 and Martha Bartlett.  Also I have the parents of Theodosia of Llandawke as David Watts and Racheal  ?

This is not definate though.

Thanks again
