Author: carolatcaswell Surnames: Davies Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.researchresources.brick-20-walls/404/mb.ashx Message Board Post: My GGrandmother Esther Daies (1859) was born in Llanboidy. She gave birth in 1888 to an illegitimate child Mary whilst living at Treskell Fach Llanfihangel the farm of Annie Davies. Esther was a farm worker. There is no father listed on Mary's birth certificate. Does anyone know of any large houses in the area where Esther may have been employed just prior to the birth because it is believed by the family that Mary's father was 'gentry'. Any help would be appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
