Gwenllian Jenkins of Llansannor, Glamorgan

[Lee Ross]

Hello,

I'm seeing if I can break a brick wall I have in Glamorgan, Wales with Gwenllian Jenkins.
I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with the Jenkins family of Llansannor that might be able to link Gwenllian?

~~~~~~~~-------------------------------

She was born around 1801 in Llansannor, Glamorgan.

10 Aug 1822 she married an Irish tinplate worker named Michael Donague in Cowbridge, Wales. No mention of parents on the certificate. She is listed as being 'of this parish'. Witnesses were William Howe and Anne Howe of Cowbridge.

The couple had the follow children: John (1823), James (1824), Catherine (1828), William (1830), Marianne (1832), Jane (1835), Michael (1835), Elizabeth (1837), Ellinor (1839), Charlotte (1840) and Thomas (1844) all around the Cowbridge area.

1841 Wales Census for Cowbridge is missing I believe.
1851 Wales Census she is living with her husband Michael and their children Elizabeth, Ellen, Charlotte and Thomas. Her birthplace is listed as Llansannor, Glamorgan
In Dec 1853 the family travelled to New York City aboard the 'Eagle' with her husband Michael and their children Jane, Ellen, Charlotte & Thomas (not exactly sure how long they were there)
1861 England Census she is living at No. 2 Edwy Parade, Kingsholm, Gloucestershire with her husband Michael and son Thomas. Her birthplace is listed as Llansannor, Glamorganshire
1871 England Census - haven't found her whereabouts yet

8 Dec 1878 she died in Kingsholm Square, Kingsholm, Gloucestershire. No mention of parents on the death certificate.

~~~~~~~~-------------------------------

I have found one Gwenllian Jenkins baptised in 1833 in Llansannor and her mother also named Gwenllian Jenkins that might be connected somehow...

Father's Name   Richard Thomas
Mother's Name   Gwenllian Jenkins
Event Type   Christening
Event Date   4 Sep 1833

If anyone can help me trace this family further back in Wales would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Lee

On FreeBMD it gives:
Marriage: Holy Cross Parish Register Cowbridge Glamorgan
Michael Donaghue . Monyddysloine . Gwenllina Jenkins
10 Aug 1822

These are the only children on the General Register from 1837.
Thomas Donague . mmn Jenkins 
Jan-Mar 1844 . Bridgend and Cowbridge . Volume 26 . Page 335
Charlotte Donague . mmn Jenkins 
Oct-Dec 1840 . Bridgend and Cowbridge . Volume 26 . Page 296

Death Registration says she was 82.
Gwenllian Donague . 82   
Oct-Dec 1878 . Gloucester . Volume 06a . Page 199
That gives a birth around 1796.

The only baptism I can find is probably too far away.
Baptism: Gwenllian Jenkins
Parents: Rees and Gwenllian Jenkins
08 Jan 1797 . Glyncorrwg, Glamorgan

This one is much closer is being just south of Cowbridge:
Baptism: Gwenllian Jenkin
Parents: John and Mary Jenkin
1797 . Llanblethian, Glamorgan
That is all the information is provides on Family Search.

There's also a Jenkin Jenkin born to John and Mary baptised in Llanblethian in 1794

Thanks so much for having a look in to Gwenllian's birth for me - that's given me some more leads to follow.
