Dear listers. while doing some research on my great great grandmother’s siblings I’ve found that her half sister married an Alfred Owen who it appears descended from Hugh Charles Owen JP who lived in Goodwick. Further research had taken me much further back and I’m wondering if anyone on the list is researching that tree – which I believe connects to the Owens of Orielton? I’ve found various references to Sir Hugh Owen 1803-1891 but am curious as to why his son lived in Goodwick and it looks like his son Alfred married the miller’s daughter Alice. Any pointers gratefully received. Melanie Stark (nee Owen) researching various branches of the tree in North Pembrokeshire.

Hi Melanie, I have found that my Owen family contained the same Christian names as the Owen family of Glogue Pembrokeshire namely John, Arthur and Stephen.  However my Owen originated in Mynachlogddu Pembrokeshire. It seems they were very religious and attend the Penygroes Independant chapel at Whitchurch parish near Crymych.     John Owen of Glogue  farm was very influential in commencing the Whitland  to Cardigan railway - the "Cardi Bach"  This was in the mid 19th century.   I believe he owned the quarry at Glogue(Llanfyrnach)  and wanted the slates transported.   Have you any connection with Owen of Glogue farm? I have no idea if the Glogue Owen branch were descended form Owen of Orielton   Yvonne Evans From: melanie stark <mel.stark@hotmail.co.uk> To: dyfed@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 3 March 2014, 17:36 Subject: [Dyfed] Owen family Pembrokeshire Dear listers. while doing some research on my great great grandmother’s siblings I’ve found that her half sister married an Alfred Owen who it appears descended from Hugh Charles Owen JP who lived in Goodwick.  Further research had taken me much further back and I’m wondering if anyone on the list is researching that tree – which I believe connects to the Owens of Orielton?
