Joseph Haydn Felton 1902

[Mabel Bagshawe]

Lydia Ann was admitted to the Pontypridd workhouse as an orphan in 1904 and stayed there 10 years before being sent out to work as  a servant. She was back two weeks later. She appears to be in an institution in 1939

Hermit doesn't seem to have much connection with his children

Forgot to say Merthyr Guardians were very disgruntled at the irregular nature of Alfred's birth registration and the problems of trying to correct it. They also note the child takes on his mother's religious creed so should be recorded as CofE. Lydia's creed is Independent

Hi

Where did get all this wonderful (but sad) information from

Hi

It seems Joseph Haydn Felton was more fortunate in ending up with his uncle and aunt. Now we have correct parentage for Joseph is anyone able to now identify the exact relationship between his “uncle and aunt”

“Joseph Haydn Felton is show with Edward Rees (70), Jane Rees (69), Maggie Rees (46) and Willie Mills  (12) in 1911. All born Montgomeryshire except for Joseph. Joseph is shown as nephew and Willie Mills as adopted son”

trying to follow Catherine's family, I think this is her in 1881

birth registrations of children give mmn of Lloyd. Marriage march qtr 1869 Wrexham of John Davies & Lydia Lloyd, birth reg jun qtr 1871 Wrexham of Catharine Davies mmn Lloyd.

1871 census in Llangurig gives place of birth for Lydia & Catherine as Ruabon.

Lydia Davies died aged 31 on 22 May 1883 and is buried in Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Cemetery with 4 of her children, Humphrey & Moses (twins died 3 Oct 1877 aged 9 days) Mary Alice (died 3 July 1883 aged 9 weeks) and Lydia (died 7 May 1887 aged 14) from a monumental inscription.

John & Lydia's marriage isn't online, civil marriage according to North Wales bmd. But this may be him in earlier census entries

John Williams died in 1853 and the executrices were his daughters Ann Williams, Catherine Davies and Mary Rees.
Mary Williams of Brithdir married Abraham Rees of Gifron(?) 14 July 1830

Still haven't found the link to Edward.

would have helped if I'd looked at Edward Rees as well. It can't be him witnessing the marriage in 1841.

But his wife Jane was one of the children of Humphrey & Catherine and the brother of John Davies who was the father of Catherine and grandfather of Joseph Haydn Felton.
