Hi all, I picked this up from another list. Very short notice I'm afraid, and probably not an easy journey if the snow we woke up to this morning in London stays. To tie in with the Archive Awareness Campaign <http://www.archiveawareness.com/> theme Take Flight, The National Archives is hosting a special talk, free of charge, on *Thursday 14 January, 14:00-15:00,* on the migration of the Welsh to Patagonia <http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/events/patagonia-14-01-10.htm>. Bruno Derrick, The National Archives' Records Specialist in Maritime and Transport, is giving the talk, and will focus on issues associated with this mass migration, using sources such as the census, passenger lists, and colonial records.

I am not sure when he was the Vicar there. He was born about 1909 in Carmarthenshire, probably in Pontyberem. I was told by a cousin of his that he was a Vicar. The cousin told me William was married, but they did not have any children. He could not remember William's wife's name. I am hoping someone via the church or an older resident will know her, whether they remained in the area and could they possibly be buried at the church cemetery. ****** He became vicar of Eglwyswrw in 1959 (Crockford's Clerical Directory 1971-72), but had disappeared from Crockford by 1987. He had previously been curate of Llanfihangel --ar-Arth, curate of St Ishmael, and rector of Puncheston. Studied at the University of Wales and Clifton Theological College. AJ

Dear Sheila, I have not looked through all the marriages, just a few close to the dates you have given: 10/11/1827 John Davies, Llangunllo m. Elizabeth Jenkins at Penbryn 17/07/1828 Enoch Davies, widower Penbryn m. Rachel James, Widow, Llangynllo 08/01/1829 Daniel Davies, m. Margaret Owens of Penbryn at Llangynllo 30/12/1832 Thomas Jones, Bangor m. Margaret Thomas at Llangynllo 19/04/1833 John Jones m. Mary Jones at Llangynllo. If you know the names of James and Anne's children you may find they correspond with one of these couples. There could be many more marriages, but I just have time for a quick look.

Hello, Can anyone help please? Does anyone have access to Dyfed pre 1837 marriages? I'm looking for the marriage of Thomas ELIAS & Mary, possibly about1790 ish. Their children were christened in Brongwyn/Trewen between 1795 & 1805 & Free Reg says the birth parish was Llandygwydd, which ties in with one son's entry in 1851 Census. However, I can't find their marriage or Thomas' birth in the area. Llandygwydd is on the border with CMN & not that far from PEM, so it could have been in any. Many thanks Heulwen

Dear Sue I'm a recent member of this list and have corresponded with you briefly about my Llannon Mainwarings. The Llannon Mainwarings are all probably inter-related but as yet I don't know how my lot may link in with yours. I haven't traced as far back as you yet, but in brief this is the info I have in case you or any other Mainwaring researchers find a connection. My Mainwarings lived at Brynteg, outside Tumble in Llannon at least from 1821-1851. A "c" in front of any dates below indicates that I have no birth record for that apart from the censuses. As yet I have virtually nothing from parish records on any of this family. EDWARD MAINWARING (c 1788-1851), farmer and collier, married MARY WILLIAMS (c 1799-1863/5) in Llannon in 1815. Their children were: Thomas (1821-) John (c 1826-1881) moved to Swansea, married Mary?? Mary (c 1827-) Rachael (c 1832-) Daniel (c 1837-1894) moved to Swansea, married Mary Perkins Robert (1838-1917) moved to Swansea, married Catherine Williams After Edward Mainwaring's death in 1851, his widow Mary nee Williams, moved to Swansea and lived with her son Robert. The story of her sons continues in the coal mines of Swansea and the Rhondda Valley. I hope that we can eventually find the links between our Llannon Mainwarings and would welcome information from anyone about the parentage of Edward Mainwaring and Mary Williams, or details from any of the parish records for their offspring. Also does anyone know what happened to their two daughters: Mary who disappeared from the records after the 1841 census (there are several possible deaths for her and one possible marriage on Free BMD between 1841 and 1851): and Rachael who disappeared after the 1851 census (I can find no trace of her in the 1861 census or on Free BMD between 1851 and 1861).

According to the birth cert., Ann James was b. Jan. 2nd. 1853 at Pont r Hafod, the daughter of William James and Ann Morris. On trying to order the marriage cert. of William and Ann, I was informed there was more than one marriage with these names. I was then asked if I could supply more info. and I mentioned that according to the 1861 census, that the couple had another child, James, and with this info. the office was able to supply me with a marriage cert. for Wm. and Ann who were married in The Parish Church of Letterston July 15th. 1847.William of full age, bachelor, mason, living at Clawdd=Cam, Parish of Llanreithan, son of John James, labourer. and, Ann Morris, full age, spinster, servant, of Bill-hook, daughter of William Morris. Could anyone assist me with any info. from Parish Registers? regarding John James, and possibly Wm. Morris? Many thanks Reuben

Dear Mary Beth, The list of rectors at St. Christiolus Church ends at the record for 1900 in West Wales Historical Records. I have the church's Monumental Inscriptions from the Dyfed Family History Society which were "Transcribed by Cissie Jones and Dave Jenkins of the Cardigan Branch of the Dyfed FHS - Typed by Gaynor Jenkins" and I note that one of the last entries is for 1990 There are a couple of Rev. Jones shown, but not in the time frame you seek, and with different initials. Dave Jenkins name does not appear in the current List of Office Holders for the Cardiganshire FHS, but Menna Evans of The National Library, Aberystwyth, is the current Secretary and her last report shows an e-mail address ymholiadau@cgnfhs.org.uk... perhaps she could tell you how to contact him.
