Hi All I am hoping to find some more information about the family of William THOMAS of Coedkernew. William THOMAS of Kevenllogell (or Cefn-logell) Coedkernew died 1824, survived by wife Ann (dau of Oliver Robotham and Cecil Jenkin from Radyr Glam), daughters Ann, Cecil, Charlotte and Eliza and son William. (info from his will) Ann THOMAS (bapt 25.10.1798 - from BT Baptisms 1725 - 1800 Index died 31.1.1848) She married 1. Evan Humphrey (Garth Hall Glam) in Coedkernew in 1819 Children - Windsor Henry, Henrietta 2. Edward Scard (Surgeon, Kew Surrey) in Marylebone in 1830 Children - Eliza Mary, Thomas I know nothing else about the family. Probably William's father was William also, as Baptism Index shows Ann THOMAS dau of William Jnr and Ann THOMAS. Can anybody tell me where I can find other Coedkernew Indexes - marriages, burials bor the period 1725 - 1800 and for 1800+? Also, how do I obtain copy of a Bishops Transcript from Coedkernew? Does anybody know anything of this family? Regards Lyn Australia

Morning Ann But how did you know he was ntlworld? he could have been a whole number of different addresses. Do you have some way of discerning this info? because I have wished for it on occasion.

Hi listers, I have found a request for info on SARAH FURBER on Ancestry. I have replied on line via Ancestry but I thought I would post a message here too. Sarah was my grandmother, Dinah's sister.

I now have confirmation that this is the correct Eliza. I would be interested to hear from anyone researching this family. William VAUGHAN Eliza Michael (b.1823) Eliza (b.1825) William (b.1827) Maria (b.1829) Thomas (b.1831) I cannot find them in 1841 in Dingestow. Regards Jon

Mt great-great-grandfather Henry DENNIS married Eliza, maiden name unknown, about 1850 at a place unknown. The 1881 census (age 55) gives her birthplace as Dingestow, Monmouthshire; the 1861 (age 30?) and 1871 (age 45) only give Monmouthshire. I have not found her in 1851; Henry is a lodger (married) in Evesham in 1851. I have not found any marriage record for them, and the seem to have been very mobile, their children being born Southampton (1850), Bath (1853), Exeter (1855), Birmingham (1857), Salisbury (1860), Taunton (1862) and Salisbury (1864 onwards). Searching the IGI, the only Eliza I can find in Dingestow of the right age is Eliza VAUGHAN, christened 10 Oct 1825, daughter of William Vaughan and Eliza. If anyone is researching this family, can they please let me know if Eliza VAUGHAN married someone else so that I can eliminate her from my research, or suggest any other suitable Eliza from Dingestow. Regards Jon

I am researching the Keefe family of Newport. I have two sisters, Hannah and Mary Ann Keefe. They were born in Ireland and came to Wales - probably during the Irish famine. Hannah (Keefe) Lapham is married in the Newport 1851 census to George Lapham. They also have a year old son. They later have the following children: Patrick, Joseph and Mary. I cannot find the family in the 1861 census, but they are in the Cardiff 1871 census and at that time Hannah is a widow. The other sister, Mary Ann Keefe, marries Richard Nicholls in Cardiff in 1850. I cannot find them in the 1851 census, but by 1861 they are in Lancashire, England and Mary Ann lists her birthplace as Newport, Wales. In later census she lists her birthplace as Ireland. The father of these sisters is John keefe and there was a Patrick Keefe listed as a witness to Mary Ann's wedding. They all eventually end up in Massachusetts, USA. Does anyone recognize this family?

Hello, Have you considered obtaining the birth certificate of one of the children, at least this will tell you her maiden name. Regards Barbara

Hello Rita, Bedwellty was the Parish and Rhymney was one of the villages within that Parish, and looking at the present day Rhymney area, there is no Rowles Square. Regards Barbara

Hi Steve Really appreciate your reply. Yes I did wonder if perhaps although it says Hamlet it was in fact a division and from what you said of Bedwellty. I now know that Bedwelly was a larger parish than Rhymney. These Welsh towns and villages sometimes cause me a lot of confusion. The information you have given was brilliant. I also have some ancestors who came from Tredegar so the directions you have shown gives me more of an idea of the relationship between Rhymney and Tredegar. Also I believe my ancestors were Chapel people so something else to research.

Hi Ray, The man I was searching for should have died in Lincolnshire but the CWGC is what I used and they have only the burial places. I was told that soldiers who died in the UK were usually returned to their families. Certainly Ivor John JACKSON was registered in South Wales on BMDs. Logically I too agree that registration would be in the place of death but not every JACKSON has been recorded - the Free BMD is incomplete and Ancestry uses that when you are looking for a death. However, Ancestry has images of the registries and so if a name doesn't turn up, you have to look through them. Another candidate for Freddy JACKSON was a William JACKSON, who does show up when she put in a query but he is there and I found him. He is registered in Birmingham. I admitted I was clutching at strays trying to find a ghost andI am now convinced that this ghost is based on bad memory and possibly to need to believe in ghosts. However, I haven't given up and I am now approaching the problem from another angle before writing to Cranwell.

G'day List Just to ask a question about registration of deaths in the UK for a moment. I always understood that the place of registration of a death in Britain was where that death took place in Britain not the place of burial. I am not sure about individual members of the Armed Services whose deaths took place on board ship outside UK territorial waters but always understood that their death was registered at the next port of arrival whether it was in the UK or somewhere else. Similarly, for deaths in aircraft outside British airspace. Please could someone tell me if I am mistaken in this. Thanks Ray Lewis Hazelmere Western Australia
