Hi JoLynn I think you are after Gwenlais in Llandeilo Talybont? According to Genuki, the records are now in Neath - see http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/west%20glamorgan.html I don't understand why the Swansea Registrar's office didn't know this - perhaps they were confusing it with Abergwenlais in Cilycwm, Carmarthenshire?

Dear List: I've been trying to find information on a family that lived in Gwenlais from at least 1841 forward; they lived on a farm called Abergwenlais. The name of the parents is Daniel and Mary DAVIES. I'm trying to determine the maiden name of Mary which could be either Hughes or Jenkin. So I was going to get a birth certificate for their last son named David DAVIES, who was born about 1840. I assumed I would find that information at the Swansea registrars office. However, after I sent a letter to them, I received the message that they couldn't find that information and they thought the registrar in Carmarthenshire held those records now. Could you please tell me how to find the email address for that office as I don't seem to be able to locate the right place? I looked on a site that appeared to be for Carmarthenshire.gov.uk and got a message that the site was down because of something they were doing, but that I could try fhs@carmarthenshire.gov.uk in the meantime. However, that didn't go through. Any suggestions to make this work would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. JoLynn Barneck

Hello list, Is there somebody in the neighbourhood of Aberdare New Cemetery, who is willing to take snaps of two family graves for me? Elwyn - netherlands.

Thanks Sue, I am on the Devon list and fortunately have traced my paternal line in Devon back to 1574. The problem I and a fellow researcher have is finding more information on John Jones, Coedmawr , Gwynfil who died around 1800. He left a will in which he states that he purchased the properties from John Edwards , Abermeurig, but no date . I spent a day at NLW going through Abermeurig papers hoping to find some reference to the sale of Coedmawr and related properties to John Jones of ? but there was nothing. There are very few deaths of JJ's in Llandewibrefi and surrounds around this time. I did follow a JJ Rhiwhalog who owned land in LDB and died around the same time (though in the wrong parish) in the hope that our JJ may have retired there and especially as there were lead mines in the area - JJ must have made money somewhere to buy Coedmawr . This proved a dead end. Francis Jones refers to a Jones family at Coedmawr at an earlier date but we have been unable to establish a link - they could have been tenants of Abermeurig before a later generation purchased the property. We have looked at several Jones wills and pedigrees in the hope of something popping up and are now trying to systematically go through any document which may contain information of use- I think it used to be called clutching at straws! My eyes lit up when I saw that David Jones, Wallington had made abstracts of all wills ( though some of his work is now missing) and also constructed pedigrees as this could be a quick way of eliminating some wills and concentrating on the ones likely to yield fruit , especially if some of these wills are no longer available elsewhere and they are very difficult for me to read. Similarly, there are other pedigrees constructed by individuals in the 1800's which are in various archives which could give us some clues. As I do not have the skills to organise an indexing project , I was hoping some organisation like an FHS would consider the project particularly as one of the kind people who replied says the DJ manuscripts are not in very good condition and even photocopying them would be a help in preserving this unique source. Thanks for your interest.

I am attempting to follow my ancestors with the surnames listed. David ARNOLD, my 3rd great grandfather was born abt. 1793 in Llanwonno, Glamorgan, Wales. He died on 23 Sep 1864 in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire, Wale. He married a Jennet JENKINS on 21 Nov 1818 in Aberdare St. John, Glamorgan, Wales. Jennet Jenkins was born in 1791-93 in Llanwonno, and died Apr 1872 in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire, Wale. I know nothing of the parents of either David ARNOLD or Jennet JENKINS. I have been following were their immigrants sons, William, Thomas (my direct ancestor), and Joseph. They had a son, Richard, who remained in Wales and several daughters. David ARNOLD was listed as a "collier" in Aberdare on one of the census records. In the U.S., William worked in a forge, Thomas was a puddler (where he met and married his wiffe Mary Lucinda Gammons), and Joseph worked in a rolling mill in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania. Any clues as to how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Colete Morlock

Once again may I put a Question to the list please. Francis Cherrett/Mary Parry. I am at a brick wall with their children. Who did they marry. Can anyone help me please Mary Ann Cherrett. born 1870 Bedwelty William Cherrett. born 1874 Rhymney. He died in Shipwreck George Cherrett my grandfather m. Sarah Jane Williams at Pontmorlias Calvanistic.Merthyr Tydfyll. They lived Cwmgwrach. Louis Cherrett b.1880 Bedwelty Rhoda Cherrett b 1885 Jane Cherrett b 1886 David J Cherrett b. 1875 Bedwelty/Rhymney I think Rhoda and Jane may have lived in Bedwelty near a Church. Thanks Brenda Melbourne

Hello to the list. My great grandfather Francis Cherrett was born 1843 in Dorset. He married Mary Parry in Cardiff 1863.( I have more information if anyone has an interest in these lines) My enquiry is did any of Francis Cherrett's siblings come to Wales. There is a Fanny Cherrett born 1834 married to a Samuel Hayward, died 1897 Newport. Is she Francis sister. His siblings: Emanuel b. 1829 stayed in Dorset Elias b.1832 Luke b. 1836 stayed in Dorset Elizabeth b. 1838 Edward b.1840 Frederick Alfred b. 1846 Mary Ann b. 1849 Fanny b. 1834 Brenda Melbourne.

I like the idea of synergy. Hywl was a word I was brought up with and such a group would certainly need that! Sorry expect the spelling is incorrect. Good luck , Sue in LLantrisant still around.

 Hi Graham.I have the Monumental Inscriptions for Oystermouth.Who are you researching.Let me know and I will have a look for you. BTW;My Great,Grandmother Margaret COULTHARD,nee DAVIES,was born  at The Park Inn,Park Street,Oystermouth in 1865. I have a wealth of information on her many ancestors.Cheers Graham. Graham Williams, Glam;FHS# 551. of Canton,Cardiff.

Thank you, Deric and Hugh, for your inputs. The background to my enquiry is that an emergent community group is debating what to call itself. 'Synergedd/synergy' certainly catches how we hope to work. I know that pre-industrial Welsh life had strong communal values, and so I wondered if there was a (maybe archaic) expression that caught the value-added sense of " together we achieve more than the sum of our several efforts".

Just to say that I can confirm that the research by David Jones does contain a lot of excellent material, but it has to be accessed at Cardiff Library. I have used iy many times in the past. Bob Sanders
