Charani No intention on my part to complain. I have done enough research and transcribing over the last 40 years to be well aware of the difficulties. My website mainly contains records relating to Glamorgan ( Cardiff & The Vale in particular) and Cardiff maritime records. It's at http://www.glamorganfamilyhistory.co.uk/ if anyone is interested. Bettye Many thanks for your suggestion and offer. I have been in touch with Pembroke Record Office and they have done some checking of Llanstadwell baptisms for my chap without success, 'though they were extremely helpful. I have his marriage at Hubberston in 1836 but his birth/baptism is very elusive. I am about to get the Record Office to search the non-conformist records for him as his son was certainly a Wesleyan. I have copies of letters from the Wesleyan Minister and the British School Master at Pembroke Dock recommending him for a scholarship to Borough Rd Teacher Training College in 1856. Just in case anyone knows anything about him my great great grandfather was Michael Roch/Roach probably born between 1810 and 1818 at one of the several places called Shipping in Pembrokeshire. He was a shipwright at HM Dockyards, initially at Pembroke then at Sheerness, then back to Pembroke and later at Woolwich where he died in 1891. By the way I have posted similar queries to the list on several occasions over the years. Some ancestors just don't want us to find them ! Regards Bob Sanders

Bob - I cannot find mention of Michael Roch/Roach in Richard Rose's book, "Pembroke People" which you would think there would be if Michael worked at Pembroke Dock in the 1830 -1840's.

Dear Bob, Thank you for the information. From memory, one of mine turned up having a child baptised in the Cardiganshire records.....don't know why he was there as he was prior to and afterwards in Pembrokeshire, but I guess it was work-related. I'd have to check, but I think he was a Wesleyan. Best of luck with your search.
