    1. [Dyfed] PEM/Crunwear Will Index (Colin Kenneday)
    2. Colin, It is I that has done the index of all and every name, place and relationship drawn from the wills proven at the ECC of St David's for 1600 to 1858. As others have said the border with Carmarthen lies right on the Leat of Garnass Crunwear, the Oriel's home from at least 1725. Because so much is interrelated between the west parishes of Carmarthen and Crunwear I have all indexed all names places and relationships in every will for the parishes of Kyffig and Marros. In addition to these I have also done the parishes of Amroth, Lamphey, Ludchurch, Manorbier, Rhos crowther & St Issells plus Pembroke for 1600 to 1700. This index has proven extremely usefull showing relationships prior to 1800 and even more so prior to P.R.'s As Bettye says The Rec Off., will do a search for you at £15 per hour. I am away untill 11th January researching Oriel's in Paris and Pembrokeshire Military History in Northern France, please email me direct at the email above shown if you think I can assist you further.

    1. Re: [Dyfed] Re Hanging and Death Certificate
    2. pat
    3. Hello This situation came up a short while ago. The Eleven GM is the number o the correction in the record book and the GM is the initials of George Morgan the Registrar. The correction is in the date column changing the words Twenty ninth to figures 29th. According to the law under the registrations' Acts if an error was made before the entry had been completed by the registrar's signature then the mistake was crossed through and the correction numbered by the error and written and initialled e.g. eleven GM in this case by the side. The numbering started at one for each register - so in this case this must have been the eleventh error in this register. Looking again at the certificate next to the part in error is 11. Cheers Pat The rules also say the error must be underlined but as the two names are on the ruled lines on the certificate then that presumably suffices.

    1. [Dyfed] JONES & GRIFFITHS, Pembroke & Jeffreston Pembrokeshire
    2. Meg Hoppe
    3. Hello List I am new to this list, and I am hoping that someone can help me with tracing some JONES & GRIFFITHS ancestors. They lived in Coleford & Cinderford Gloucestershire, but were born in Pembrokeshire. I have William JONES a stone mason (born about 1804 in Pembrokeshire - might have been in Pembroke) and his wife Mary (born about 1799 in Jeffreston Pembrokeshire). The record for the nonconformist baptism of their daughter Martha in 1831 names Mary's parents as being John & Martha GRIFFITH[S]. Other records indicate the family was Wesleyan Methodists. I'd appreciate any information/suggestions about the marriage of William & Mary JONES and/or John & Martha GRIFFITHS. Also about the baptisms of any of the above. Meg BC Canada

    1. Re: [Dyfed] Re Hanging and Death Certificate
    2. A Spell In Time
    3. Dear Alison The notes in the right hand margin are "Eleven" and "GM." The eleven refers to an error that the registrar made in entering up the details of the death on the certificate. You can see in column 1 that the words "twenty ninth" have been crossed out and replaced by "29th." The numeral 11 has been entered next to the crossing out. GM are the registrar's initials (George Morgan) verifying the error. Registrars had to keep a record of errors they made on certificates, and each error was numbered. This was therefore the 11th mistake that George Morgan had made. There was a similar entry on one of my certificates recently and a very helpful person on the Glamorgan list confirmed with the local register office that this was the standard procedure for recording errors. I'm afraid that this explanation doesn't add anything to the information you already have. Good luck in your search.

    1. Re: [Dyfed] Magness marriage
    2. LC & BJ Kirkwood
    3. Dear Colin, Perhaps the Pemb. RO could do a search of the Haverfordwest baptisms for you to see if they could locate Hester/Esther .....it should not be too expensive. Magness is not a surname I can find in the Rhos Hundred records.........not with that spelling. In 1748/49 however at Steynton Michael MAGNIS married Florana Brown and in 1755 Florana MAGNIS married James Jones at Steynton. Unfortunately I can't see any Wills which might help, but any children born to Florana from her first marriage may have been placed with their paternal grandparents when she remarried....I've seen several occasions when the children were farmed out to relatives in such cases. If there had been more than one marriage recorded under "Magnis" I would not have queried the surname, but as it is, there is a possibility the scribe was responsible for the spelling as, at this time, many folks could not read or write. Don't forget, when looking for your elusive ancestors to check for very odd and alternate spellings.

    1. Re: [Dyfed] PEM/Crunwear Will Index
    2. LC & BJ Kirkwood
    3. Dear Colin, David Jardine is listed as marrying Elizabeth Glen in 1780 at Haverfordwest St. Mary. An Alexander Jardine in 1791 married Ann Prickett at Haverfordwest St. Mary in 1791....possibly David and Alexander were related. Crunwear is right over near Carmarthenshire and the St. David's Probate Will index shows a Will listed for David Jardine of Llanboidy, Carmarthen proved in 1747. There is also a Will for a Hester David of Carmarthen, Carmarthen proved in 1738....I doubt this latter Will has significance, but the 1747 Will for David Jardine might be worth a look on The National Library of Wales site. None of the othr Hester/Esther David/s seem significant. In the female section of the Rhos Hundred marriages, an Elizabeth Jardine married Thomas Evans at St. Brides, Pembrokeshire whilst a Jane Jardine married William Bowen at Haverfordwest St. Martin in 1801. There are no other Glens mentioned in the indices I hold for Rhos Hundred, apart from Elizabeth. Please provide the List with any concrete family information you may have....to assist in the search.

    3. Dear Dai, As ages were usually rounded down in the 1841 census, Thomas and Elizabeth may have been closer to 70, but as some enumerators actually put the correct age, we can't be sure of this. There is no Mathry marriage listed between a Thomas Evan and an Elizabeth, but as Mathry is in Dewisland Hundred they might well be: Thomas Evan married Elizabeth Richard 1785, St. David's Thomas Evan married Elizabeth William 1787, Llanrhian Thomas Evan married Elizabeth Williams 1792, Llanwnda...........probably the most likely. A Thomas Evan married Lettice Bowen at Mathry in 1792, so perhaps Lettice was known as Elizabeth. A Thomas Evans is listed as marrying Elizabeth Morgan at Llanrhian from the BT's in 1807.

    1. [Dyfed] Magness marriage
    2. Colin Kenneday
    3. Hi again all, Thank you for looking up Jardine and David names for me in the Crunwear Will. I feel now that my Hester was probably not Hester David or Hester Jardine. The facts I have are: Esther/Hester married Richard Magness and had a daughter, Mary Jane born in 1814 in Lower Bullingham, Herefordshire. According to census and death information, Hester was born about 1790 in Haverfordwest. I can find no marriage for Richard and Hester and I can find no birth for my Richard Magness. Richard was born in about 1780 and died in 1831. He is NOT the Mansel Gamage Richard who was also born in 1780. I feel that my Richard is probably related to the Herefordshire Magnesses but have no proof yet. Parish records have come up negative. I can follow Hester and Richard and their children after the birth of Mary Jane up to their deaths but cannot find out who Richard and Hester's parents /families were. I am interested in Hester because she is my direct mitochondrial line. If anyone has a clue or ideas, please let me know. Thanks again and good luck to everyone with your research. Cheers! Colin

    3. Dear Bob Elizabeth was shown as 32 in 1871 so born approx 1839. I looked for a 2 year old Elizabeth in the 1841 Camrose census and there were three. Elizabeth Adams, John and Thomas. Looking at the BMD's I see a Elizabeth John married a John Thomas September Quarter 1865. The marriage was registered in Haverfordwest Volume 11a page 1005. This may be her. This was the only marriage I could find. If it is her then 1841 shows Living on Keeston Moor, Camrose Parish James George age 75 Agricultural Labourer Elizabeth George age 80 Francis John age 30 Agricultural Labourer Mary John age 30 John John age 6 Margaret John age 4 Elizabeth John age 2 My advice would be to get a birth certificate for George Thomas. You know he was born 1869 or 1870 as he was shown as 18 months old in 1871. That should give you his mothers maiden name and then you will know for sure.

    3. Evans Listers, I'm late into this discussion but I'm researching William Evans (1799) and his wife, Hannah (1801) PEM. They had a daughter, Mary, born 12 Jun 1829 who married Benjamin Gibbons abt.1850 PEM and emigrated 1857. Is there any connection? Susan
