JAMES family of Jeffreyston & Caldey Island, Pembrokeshire
« on: Monday 24 November 14 19:42 GMT (UK) »
Seeking information about the family background, ancestry, children, of Henry JAMES, born 'Jefferson' or 'Jeffreston', Pembs, probably c.1801 (aged 40-44 in 1841, when on Caldey Island; aged 49 in 1851 when again on Caldey Island; aged 60 in 1861 when in Carew parish; but aged 80 in 1871, when again in Carew).

I think he married twice, both wives called Sarah.

Second marriage to Sarah ROW on 8 Jun 1833 at Penally (the mainland parish to which Caldey island belonged) produced at least two children; Ann bapt at Penally on 9 Feb 1834 and Joseph, aged 5 in 1841.

Was the first marriage to Sarah BELTH, widow, 13 Dec 1825 at Jeffreyston Parish Church? (freeReg). Can see his marriage to Sarah ROW, both of Caldey, 8 Jun 1833 at Penally Parish Church.

There's also a baptism of Charlotte to Henry and Sarah JAMES at Jeffreyston 12 Jun 1826.

Yes, I think this all fits Maddy.

Henry JAMES married the widow Sarah BELTH at Jeffreyston in 1825 and six months later baptised a daughter Charlotte there. I have just been told by a descendant (Kevin Edwards) that Sarah already had 5 children by her first husband who died in 1822, but she then died in Sep 1830, still at Jeffreyston.

Henry JAMES then married Sarah ROW at Penally in 1833, and in the 1841 & 1851 censuses they are on Caldey Island (which belongs to the mainland parish of Penally). Sarah COPE/BELTH/JAMES daughter Charlotte is with them in 1841, so this is the right family. There were other ROWE families, all quarrymen, on Caldey at that time. Henry JAMES & Sarah ROW/JAMES had two more children, the first another daughter, also born unduly promptly after the marriage. They returned to Carew parish, adjoining Jeffreyston, where Sarah ROW had been born, for 1861 & 1871. My wife is descended from the daughter born on Caldey Island but baptised at Penally in 1834.

However, we have not been able to get any further back for either Henry JAMES or Sarah ROW.

Unfortunately FreeReg has only been transcribed for Carew after 1813,  and Jeffreyston after 1799, so I'm sorry I can't help any further  :(. Maybe you could try asking the moderator to move this thread to the Pembrokeshire, Wales board where you might get some more help from rootschatters who really know the area!

Happy hunting,

M
