I'd like to say a big thank you to Pat, Brian and Joan for their help and advice. I have gone from a brick wall on my own tree to lots of leads for research on the Phillips line. My husband was thrilled to read about his ancestor Thomas Owen Phillips - he's hoping his newly discovered heritage will lead to an extra helping of Welsh cakes and bara brith when he goes to his meeting in Bridgend tomorrow.

I've been working on my own tree for a few years, but having hit the classic brick wall I've decided to research my husband's tree. We thought all his ancestors came from Kent, but we've tracked down his g. grandmother (Ellen Phillips, b. 1862) to Prendergast, Haverfordwest. Can anyone help with identifying an inn in Prendergast, Haverfordwest? I have Thomas Owen Phillips, b. Prendergast about 1825. In the 1861 and 1871 censuses he gives is occupation as inkeeper, but I can't work out what the name of the inn is. 1861: Chelsea pensioner and innkeeper, Old Bridge, Joorite? Arms Public House, Prendergast 1871: Innkeeper, Prospect Place, Joorite? Arms, Prendergast 1881: Cabinet maker, Prospect Place, Prendergast 1891: Carpenter, Prospect Place, Prendergast 1901: Army pensioner, Prospect Place I'm guessing that, since Thomas continues to live in Prospect Place, he didn't actually move house, but just closed down the pub bit and took up carpentry. So it is unlikely that the pub still exists, but I'd love for someone to prove me wrong. Thanks Denise
