Hi,
I am desperately looking to solve a mystery for my mum, sisters and their family regarding a relative of ours. I live in Australia and i am getting myself so confused with how many similar names there are! haha
Collectively, the family have been looking on and off for years for information on a relative of ours and always end up at the same dead end. We have information about his children and his wife's family, but apart from the name of one brother we don't know about any possible siblings or parents/grandparents etc.
His name is Owen Owens born about 1857 in Holyhead, Anglesea
He had a Brother, Richard, who was supposedly involved in making jewellery and grandfather clocks.
He studied at pontypool and became a Baptist Minister.
He was Rev. Owens at the Tabernacle English Baptist Chapel in Porth near Cardiff for 16 years (1880-1896). He appears in a census at this time as living in LLanwonno, Porth.
He married Susannah Williams about 1883 in Pontypridd, Porth. (we have a fair bit of infomation for her family). They had about 9 children together (We do know about them)
He, his wife and their children moved to Johannesburg, South Africa in 1896? where he remained (apart from a temporary trip back to wales around 1911) until his death - 29//03/1929.
If anyone has seen any info or knows anything more about him, then we would be so grateful to hear from you.
