Does anyone have experience of requesting information from the Francis Jones Archive (Brawdy Books). I am in contact with a lady in Australia, researching her Quaker ancestors the Bowen family of Prendergast. The archive suggests that Francis Jones collected notes on this family and I am wondering about suggesting to her that she make enquiries. It looks as though there is a minimum charge of £25 which seems quite steep, especially as I would be surprised if the archive contains significant new information. Francis Green made notes on the family, and Quaker records are well documented in West Wales Historical Records. Can anyone feed back their experience of seeking material from the Francis Jones Archive? Jonathan Pike

I am sure that this will be a lovely book. Paul White's photography is beautiful and it looks like he has photographed a lot of important larger West Wales ruins, before their further decline or restoration.

Dear Reg I would wait until FindMyPast issues the Pembrokeshire Parish Registers online sometime in 2012 and try again. Do you subscribe to it? That should cover all parish register entries - although you / we will need to look carefully initially to see whether any rector in Pembrokeshire did not allow such data to go online for their particular parish. That will not be obvious until the data goes online.

Hello Listers "The Times" recently had an article about this website: http://www.historypin.com/ which allows you to "pin" your old photographs to the relevant Google map and StreetView. It's in its early stages, so there aren't a lot of photographs (compared with Geograph [ http://www.geograph.org.uk/ ]), but I've pinned my first photograph of children outside Berachah Chapel. Goodwick in Pembrokeshire, which may be of interest to those of you with Goodwick forebears. I'm not entirely happy with the resolution of the photograph, so I'm hoping I can get it deleted and a higher resolution copy substituted, but in the meantime have a look at this and the others that have been pinned (in Dyfed and elsewhere).

Hi Brian John Lort Stokes was a very interesting man. As you say, he spent many years on the Beagle and went on to be a well-respected naval hydrographer, charting many far-flung seas. I spent a couple of years in Australia and New Zealand in the 1990s and collected a lot of material on John Lort Stokes along the way. He is well remembered in both Australia and New Zealand. I did make a start on an article about him but it has never been finished. The following is an extract: There are numerous biographical entries relating to John Lort Stokes including ones in the Dictionary of National Biography and the Australian Dictionary of National Biography. All give excellent accounts of his exploration, but there is little detail as to his family and background. He was born on 30 July 1811 at the family home of Scotchwell, Haverfordwest. Although he travelled vast distances around the globe, this is also where he was destined to die nearly 74 years later. His parents were Henry Stokes and Anne Phillips who were married on the 25th of April 1806 at the church of Haverfordwest St Thomas. Henry and Ann had seven children, John Lort Stokes was the fourth child and second son. His elder brother was George Warren Stokes, a Colonel in the Bengal Army, whose surviving children were Charles William Rees Stokes, a Tenby solicitor and Georgina Ann Stokes, who married Edward Eaton Evans, the well known Haverfordwest solicitor. Stokes has particular significance to the Northern Territory of Australia, exploring many of . He named the Fitzroy (Western Australia), Flinders (Queensland) and Albert Rivers and shared in the discovery of the Victoria and Adelaide Rivers. He is said to have been responsible for naming Port Darwin, after his friend Charles Darwin. You are correct about his Picton ancestry. His great grandmother was Elizabeth Picton, daughter of Thomas Picton of Poyston. She became the wife of John Warren of Haverfordwest. Their daughter Frances married John Rees Stokes of Cuffern, Roch. I remember talking to Peter Dawkins Palmour about the Stokes family of Scotchwell, many years ago. Peter was descended from the Stokes family of St Botolphs. I remember him saying that he never had too much time for the Scotchwell family, given that they were not “real Stokes”. The family were formerly surnamed Rees and the name was changed in the 1770s after John Rees inherited property from his “cousin” John Stokes of Roch and Haverfordwest. It took me a long time to work out the relationship between the Rees and Stokes families – they were both descended from John Young of Cuffern Roch (Will proved 1716). I believe that Pringle Stokes was unrelated and not from Pembrokeshire. Cheers, Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Brian P.

Faced with the more difficult part of the survey in the desolate waters of Tierra del Fuego, Captain Pringle Stokes fell into a deep depression. At Port Famine on the Strait of Magellan he locked himself in his cabin for 14 days, then after getting over-excited and talking of preparing for the next cruise, shot himself on 2 August 1828. Following four days of delirium Stokes recovered slightly, but then his condition deteriorated and he died on 12 August 1828.

Brian   I had a look at the IGI and there is no baptism for John Lort Stokes.   There is a baptism in Haverfordwest St Marys in 1810 for Elizabeth Henrietta, daughter of Henry Stokes and Anne.   There is also a baptism in Sydney in 1842 for a Fanny Ann Stokes daughter of John Lort Stokes and Fanny Jane.   There is a marriage in 1856 for John Lort Stokes of Louisa French Garret in St. Marylebone.  Both had been widowed and he was a Capt in Royal Navy, born in Prendergast and his father was Henry Stokes a Gentleman.   The only census he is in is with Louisa in 1881 in Scotchwell, Prendergast, where he is described as "Navy Off. Admiral R.N. Retired", and said to have been born in 1813.   Hope this assists   Megan       ________________________________ From: Brian P.

I am in dire need of another view!   I have been researching my “Cousins” line, with all the spelling variations that go with that.   The earliest I have is Thomas born 1802-1806 in Johnston.  He married Sarah Jenkins in 1834.  She was born in Johnston between 1812-1816 (although if you believed the 1851 census then is was 1804).  He was a collier.   From the IGI and various censuses they had the following children: Louisa born 1835 Elizabethborn 1836 Moses born 1839 George born 1841 Esther born 1845 William born 1849 James 1852   I have them living together in Johnston in 1841 and 1851, and then in 1861 Thomas is in prison, and Sarah is in Johnston with her youngest son.   I have not found Thomas in 1871, and Sarah is living in Johnston with a granddaughter, Mary describing herself as a “Coal miners Wife”.   In 1881 Sarah 69 is living with her granddaughter Mary in Turnpike Cottage, Johnston collecting tolls.  She is still described as married.  There is a married Thomas, 84 (born 1797) labouring and lodging on his own in Llanstadwell, in the house of John Rees (born 1835) and his wife Elizabeth (born 1836) and step son John Cousins (aged).  All apart from John Cousins were born in Johnston.  I have been working on the assumption that this is my Thomas, and that Elizabeth Rees was probably his daughter.   There is a marriage of a John Rees and Elizabeth Couzens in 1880 Oct Pembroke 11A 1267.  This is the only one between 1861 and 1881 that I have found.   Neither Thomas nor Sarah have been found in the 1891 census, so I presumed that they died between 1881-1891, and found the following   Dec 1883 Pembroke 11A 477 COZENS, Thomas Dec 1889 Pembroke 11A 611 COZENS, Sarah.   I ordered these 3 certificates which have arrived and now I am in a muddle.   1880 Marriage Certificate Elizabeth’s age is given as 20, although her father is Thomas, but a farmer.  John Rees is 21, and they are living in Angle.  So this obviously was the not the marriage of my Thomas’s daughter Elizabeth.   1883 Death Certificate Thomas died at The Gale, Llanstadwell aged 70, and the death was registered by his son in law John Rees.   1889 Death Certificate Sarah died at (Honeyborough), the Gale, Llanstadwell aged 73 and the death was registered by her nephew Thomas Cozens.   Do people think that the 1883 death I have identified is my Thomas?  I am completely thrown by the marriage certificate and that if the John Rees in 1881 is the same as the one in 1883 how Thomas’s age varies by almost 20 years.  Then I am even more confused by the fact that Sarah seems to have died at the same / similar location.   Any thoughts on how to sort this out would be appreciated.   Megan

Brian - The Dictionary of National Biography, Vol. 1-20 has a record of John Lort Stokes (available at Ancestry.com). It says he was born in 1812, the second son of Henry Stokes of Scotchwell. He entered the navy on 2 Feb 1826 on board the Beagle, then fitting out under the command of his namesake, Commander Pringle Stokes, for the survey of the southern parts of America, in company with the Adventure, commanded by Captain Philip Parker King...... There is a also a portrait of John on Ancestry, as well as a reference to The Biography & Genealogy Master Index, although no image of the index is available at Ancestry yet. The Encyclopedia of New Zealand 1966 states John was born in 1812 at "Scotch-well", near Haverfordwest, the 2nd son of Henry Stokes, whose father, John Rees, assumed the surname Stokes. His mother was Anne, daughter of George Phillips, M.D., and grand-daughter of John Lort, of Prickeston. Pembrokeshire. http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/1966/stokes-john-lort/1 Although not verification, it leads you in a direction to find the records.

Has anyone any local censuses for the area in Carmarthenshire where she might be hiding. Thanking you in anticipation.  Best wishes Sue in Suffolk ================================ Dyfed list http://home.clara.net/daibevan/DyfedML.html ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
