Elizabeth Jenkins & John Herbert marriage and death mystery

[baggygenes]

Thought this might be of interest / use ... lists names of villiages/towns in Pembrokeshire - might help with locating census places/parish records  for instance Trevane which was mentioned earlier is Trefin

Try the IGI on Family search.

https://familysearch.org/

This is good for Non Conformist .

Choose County, you then get a list of Chapels. you can either search by name, or leave blank with just the Batch No. You then get all events at that Chapel.

There is a possible death for Martha senior 1860
Gronow    Martha        Haverfordwest    11a   464

and possible Joseph 1868
Gronow    Joseph    age 78    Haverfordwest    11a   444
(although he's aged a few years from the 41 census)

theres a widowed joseph in 61 census for Aberdare but can't find likely one for 51 although theres a Martha Gronow in Goat Street, Newport (which has come under cardiganshire) aged 59 from Dinas, Pembrokeshire with  son Joseph 24 (also Mariner)  born Newport, daughter Mary 16 born Newport and grandchild Margaret Rees 3 born Newport
saying shes wife of a mariner ?


Don't envy you on this one - apart from the amount of Jenkins (Gronow is a lot more prolific than I would have imaged too!) , confusions as to what their surnames were so which name did they marry/die under you also have very moving registration districts ..  arghhhhhh!

Hello Diane

The surname Jenkins/Jinkins from Pembrokeshire has me tearing my hair out.Not a main line thankfully.2x Greatgrandfather`s sister`s lot.

Good Luck with your research.

You have a nice Weekend too.

I have today received a copy of the marriage cert for Martha Gronow to George Symonds  - 8/11/1854 at the Hermon Baptist Chapel Nantyglo Abergavenny. Grooms father is George Symonds - a carpenter

Matha's father is Joseph Gronow - a farmer. There I was hoping her father would be Thomas Jenkins!

Both Martha & George (the groom) give their address as Aberystruth

Perhaps Martha Gronow and Elizabeth Jenkins are half sisters same Mother - different Father. I guess we'll never know.

Would just like to thank everyone for all their help and suggestions.

Very much appreciated and encouraging

Regards

Diane

Thanks Wilcoxon

 Will check these out - especially all the Symonds from the 1841 to see if their paths cross with John Herbert and or Elizabeth Jenkins
