Alf I suppose that since you've directed your query to this list you are trying to find out something about your Ceredigion roots! Here are some initial thoughts: Do you know which Llanfihangel Edward Jenkins was born in? (It just means 'Church of [St] Michael' so there are lots of them.) Llanfihangel y Creuddyn (south of Aberystwyth) and Llanfihangel geneu'r glyn (north of Aberystwyth) are obvious candidates. Do you know where he and Ann lived after marriage? If you have the family in any census that should help identify their dwelling. If it was in Llanbadarn Fawr (note spelling; just East of Aberystwyth) then you should review the Llanbadarn graveyard site at: http://www.llanbadarnchurchyard.org.uk/index.html The names are so common, though, it will help if you know where (probably meaning the name of the farm) they lived at. If they lived at Llanfihangel geneu'r glyn then that is centred in the village now called 'Llandre' but could include the villages of Borth or Bow Street, all just to the north of Aberystwyth. There is a Llandre graveyard index here: http://www.llandre.org.uk/project2.php But you might also like to check the Capel-y-Garn site and review the pdf of the graveyard index at that site too, available here: http://www.capelygarn.org/cemetery.php David Canberra On 27/09/2009, at 3:05, alf&Joan wrote: > Hi > I would like to hear from anyone with knowlege of this JENKINS > family. > Edward JENKINS born 1813 Llanfihangle Cardiganshikre > Ann JENKINS born Ann HUGHS 1820 Llambadarn Fawr > children: Ann(1842)Hugh (1846)Elizabeth(1848)Sophia(1850)Richard > (1857)Margaret (1859)William (1861) > Hugh JENKINS9(1846)married Ann WALTERS and moved to London in the > 1870,s He is a widower in London 1911 > Elizabeth JENKINS(1848) married Edward EVANS in 1877 and had 7 > children. > Richard JENKINS(1857) married Jane EVANS(1858) in London in 1879 and > had 6 children > The youngest Lizzie (1896) was my mother.. > Any information would be appreciated > Alf BUSHNELL Western Australia > > ================================ > Dyfed list http://home.clara.net/daibevan/DyfedML.html > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to DYFED-request@rootsweb.com > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and > the body of the message

JENKINS, Llanfihangel Genau'r Glyn CGN: As you say, David, I think they are from our area, i.e. Llanfihangel Genau'r Glyn CGN. Starting at Dolypandy, Melindwr after marrying into the Tynllidiart family, and moving to Tanyreithin. Some of the children moved to London. I assume Alf has this, so won't repeat it here. If not, I can send it to you off-list, Alf. I cannot, at this stage, connect it to our JENKINS' interests even though they too went to London. There was a very vague story about friends or distant relatives living in a flat in the Mansion House, London, probably as late as the 1930-40s as "during the bombing" was mentioned. No proof whatsoever. Who would have a flat there, housekeeper, security perhaps? Any rumours, like that in your family, Alf?
