Hello Cherie, There is someone on ancestry with a family Tree for Batten and has William Henry as William Henry Batten with a father William Birth 23 Jan 1824 - non-conformist regs. Death 08 Aug 1840- non-conformist regs That Batten family Tree looks a promising place to start I think. Best wishes, Jill -----Original Message----- From: glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:glamorgan-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of C Morgan via Sent: Tuesday, January 27, 2015 7:47 PM To: glamorgan@rootsweb.com Subject: [GLA] William Henry Morgan I’m hoping to locate a birth of a WILLIAM HENRY BATTEN, bornabout 1820 in Brawdy, Pembrokeshire. Aman of this same name married my great grandmother, Ann MORGAN, by license inSwansea July 1856. The marriagecertificate gives information as Widower, Mariner, residence at time ofmarriage Bargemans Row (the Morgan residence); Father William Batten, Mariner. No other record of him is found. There is a William Batten, Mariner, enumerated in 1861,1871, and 1881 censuses ages 41, 50, 60, born Brawdy, Pembrokeshire, Wales withmariners certificates also stating born Brawdy. The name, age and occupation make him a candidate for mygreat grandfather, and a birth certificate with a father’s name might disproveor not. Any possibility a reader has knowledge of this man? I’m researching from Boston, and not findingany birth records for Brawdy available on line. Thank you,Cherie Morgan --

As I recall some one recently asked for pictures of a couple of pubs, one being the Bird in the Hand. A couple of owners were mentioned and I wanted to add that in the 1860s or so it was run by James and Catherine Shea (which happen to be the names of my gr gr grandparents, but whom are not). However, there must be some relation as i did have ancestors who boarded there. Sue
