Haywood in Crickhowell

[kerryb]

My first post in Wales!

I have received a marriage certificate for Frederick Haywood who in August 1888 married Evelyn Morgan at the Danycastle Methodist Chapel in Crickhowell.  He was 27, an Ordnance Surveyor and his father was Richard Haywood, a Forgeman.  That is the only record I can find for him.  He does not appear with his family in subsequent census records, his wife is married on census returns until the 1911 census when she declares herself a widow.  She always is either in the same household or next door to her parents. 

Frederick, Ordnance Surveyor is named on the marriage certificate for his son Ewart in 1923 but is deceased.  I've not found his death.  I am yet to look at the other children but they are all called Haywood on census records. 

Does anyone have any theories or direction as to where I might find records for the Danycastle (Danycastell) Methodist Chapel.  I suspect that he might have been baptised there.

Thank you

national Library of Wales holds some papers - looks to be the admin not the registers.

Thanks Mabel, yes admin papers. 

I think I might have solved some of the mystery.  I have just found a Frederick born in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffs, no father and his grandfather was Richard and was a coalminer (link with South wales possibly).  Needs more looking into.  Especially as on Ancestry there is a Lunacy Register entry in Monmouthshire which may indicate why he wasn't in the home.  Again needs more looking into.

The Frederick in the lunacy registered died in November 1901 - death reg suggests born c1858

Found him on 1901 as F A Haywood b c1853. Married. Occupation unknown,  place of birth unknown. Spoke English

Do you know who witnessed his marriage to Evelyn?

Frederick's death notice attached.

Address is the same as the family is living in on the 1901 census.

Oh well done Queenie, I think we’ve cracked it.  Thank you.  I recognised the address.  Now to dig further.

Admission and discharge book for casual paupers
Admission date: 24 Mar 1878

Where he slept last night: Pontypool

Definitely worth keeping a note of.  Thank you.  I need to go and look at a map and learn Wales!

Do you have Frederick in the 1891 census?

Also, who were the 1888 marriage witnesses?

As regards the 1878 workhouse record: labourers can be in the employ of Ordnance Surveyors.
