Hi list: I am helping a friend research her family in Aberystwyth. David Evans married Elizabeth Lewis in December 1879 in Aberystwyth, Cardinganshire. They had the following children: Elizabeth Ann Evans born abt Jan 1881 in Llanbadarn-Fawr, Aberystwyth. John Evans born abt 1883 in Llanbadarn-Fawr, Aberystwyth. David Evans born abt 1885 in Llanbadarn-Fawr, Aberystwyth. Gwladys Evans born Mar 1890 in Llanbadarn-Fawr, Aberystwyth. I have traced them in Llanbadarn-Fawr from 1881 until 1901/1911. In the 1901 Wales Census the family except John is living in Rheidol, Aberystwth, in the ecclesiastical parish of Bangor St. David. David Evans Sr. is a gardener. In the 1911 Wales Census Elizabeth Lewis Evans is a widow and living with her are John, David Jr. and Gwladys. They are living in Wernddu Cottage, Capel Sion, Nr Aberystwyth and John is a Gardener’s helper and David is a painter. Elizabeth Ann is no longer living with them. Gwladys immigrates to Canada in 1919. Any help finding Elizabeth Ann, John & David Jr. would be greatly appreciated. My friend would dearly love to find some descendants of this family in Wales. Regards, Fran in Canada

Thanks to all those who replied.  I think that the suggest are correct, particularly as the William(s) originated from Mathry.   Megan ________________________________ From: Gerry Lewis <[email protected]> To: Dyfed List <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, 3 April 2012, 13:44 Subject: Re: [Dyfed] Help with reading census On 2/4/12 23:21, "Megan Roberts" <[email protected]> wrote: > I would really appreciate if some kind soul could try and decipher the places > of birth for David and Martha William in the 1851 census. >   > They are living in Llandeloy and the references are piece 2479 folio 58 page > 13.  Ancestry has his as "Troshert" and hers as "Dyna" and FMP have Teesport > and Dynn.  I have looked myself, but I can't decipher it. >   > Many thanks > Megan Hello Megan The DFHS transcription on its microfiche has "?" and "Dinas" respectively.

Megan - I would guess that Martha's birthplace was Dynas (i.e., Dinas), but I’m not familiar enough with the villages in Pembroke to guess at the birthplace of David. Perhaps someone else more familiar with villages can read it.

The old Dyfed FHS website contained some structures/programs which were similar to those used by spammers; this was one of the reasons why we produced an entirely new site. The new site does not have these formats and we have taken action to have this site "cleared" by the "guardians" of the internet. The new site is now declared "clean" by Google, but it takes time for the various virus checkers to pick up this information. NOD32 is one of the most over enthusiastic virus checkers and it has denied access to dyfedfhs.org.uk in the past. (Incidentally if you Google "denied access by NOD 32" you'll discover many other websites suffer the same problem) It is very easy to tell NOD32 that we are clean. This link will take you to a short tutorial describing the procedure. http://www.askvg.com/fix-access-denied-website-blocked-by-eset-nod32-antivir us-due-to-dangerous-content/ I have already passed this link to members of the list who contacted me off list and they have successfully cleared the problem. I'm sure other virus checkers will have a similar procedure. Glyn. Editor, Dyfed Family History Journal.

Megan, The accuracy of the age, depends on who is providing the information. >From personal experience ages vary from census to census, depending on who is providing the information.

Myra, Megan stated In the 1871 Census my gt grandmother Mary Ann Cousins is shown with family in Cuckoo Lane, St Martin as follows: COSSENS, George Head 28 1843 COSSENS, Elizabeth Wife 28 1843 COSSENS, Thomas Son 9 1862 COSSENS, Hannah Daughter 7 1864 COSSENS, John Son 5 1866 COSSENS, Mary AnnDaughter 3 1868 COSSENS, James Son 9 months 1870 The Hannah shown in the above was born between 1856 and 1859 to allow for errors in the declared age. The Hannah I identified fits the bill perfectly. Here are the details again Hannah COZENS Haverfordwest June Qtr 1858 11a 719 I am not sure where the one you have found came from? If she was in service: 1). She may have lied about her age to get the post. 2). Whoever provided the answers for the Census, did not know, and estimated her age.
