Hello - In 1861 Mary DAVIES widow 39yrs b. carmarthenshire was living in Bedwellty, Mon. She is listed with 3 children - Joseph 12, John 4 and Harriet MORGAN 24 listed as her daughter all listed as born in Monmouthshire. I had hoped to find some information on this family in 1851 when Mary was married to Benjamin but haven't had any luck. I was hoping Harriet Morgan would give me some clues but I haven't had any success. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear them. Thanks, Carol in Canada

Well could I email Gwent and inquire as I am in Canada. Carol in Canada Try this address Secretary@gwentfhs.info That should get a message direct to the secretary of Gwent FHS. It may be a few days before you get a reply because the secretary does have a proper full-time job and a family to look after. Ann Macey List Admin

Have heard of people contacting a Susan Mills at Regents Park College Oxford. They have info relating to Baptist and know she has supplied copies of Baptist Minister obituaries for people from the Baptist Handbook. If you google Regents Park College and select Angus Library from their main page you'll find all the details. It's worth a try.

Hello Once again Barbara It's the same Bill (Taffy) Lloyd that I mentioned in previous e-mails we swapped (yours of 5.22.07) and who couldn't bring himself to propose to that lassie he was struck on back in '43. I wondered if he might have got married after being demobbed in '46 but looking at all the weddings that took place in those days I guess it's pretty hopeless. Trouble is I don't know anything else about him except his name. not even his RAF service number. I do have a good photograph of him, also one of us both together; suppose if I could get some newspapers to do a "Where are they Now' episode those pictures might do the trick. Lost touch with my best man at Alda's wedding in 1944 and finally found him via a newspaper in the town where he used to live, and his sister recognized him from our wedding photos. He went back to Medicine Hat, Alberta after he married in England and now lives on Vancouver Island. But I have no idea where Taffy lived. Have tried Friends Reunited and also put his pic in "Dead Fred" with no success. Of course the old chap could be long dead. If not he's at least 88.

Hi Ruth Ann, I have some Williams wills I am working on and I noticed two that have a Gwatkin(s) in them. I noticed it because it is such an unusual name. The wills are: Mary Williams of Raglan Widow 1787 (NLW ref. LL/1787/85) Matthew Gwatkin signs as a witness. Thomas Williams of Raglan Farmer 1778 (NLW ref. LL/1778/112) John Gwatkins, a Smith occupies a Smith Shop and dwelling house in the town of Raglan belonging to Thomas Williams. Thomas David occupies the adjacent dwelling house. I have not yet completed transcribing these wills, but if you like copies please connect me off list. I can send you transcripts in the next few weeks.

Hi I think Gwent FHS has a CD of Newbridge Tabernacle records which may help you.

The marriage cert shows Benjamin DAVIES b. 1844 Merthyr and Mary MORGAN b. 1822 Kidwelty, Carm. I know Benjamin was a carpenter and they had 2 sons - John above b. 1849 and Joseph b. 1857 who went on to be a Baptist Minister as in the 1891 and 1901 census. Benjamin DAVIES must have died before 1861 and I can't find any information about him previously. Any suggestions? I would love to find any information on Benjamin. Also is there a place I could look to find out about Joseph Davies the baptist minister - in 1891 he was at Civil Parish Mynyddslwyn, Mon. and 1901 he was in Clifton, Birkenhead.

Have a GWATKIN family I am researching in Monmouthshire. Interested in how often I might expect to find the surname as WATKIN or WATKINS. Thomas GWATKIN may be the son of Benjamin GWATKIN and Paulina. Would like to confirm this as there are at least two individuals of the same name in the area who are about the same age. 1. There is an IGI entry for a Thomas GWATKIN christened 18 March 1838 Llangattock Lingoed, Monmouthshire, England. Is this the same individual as shown on later items? 2. Have not yet looked for him on the 1841, 1851, or 1861 census as I no longer have access to those census years. Can you find him on those? 3. I have a Thomas GWATKIN that married an Ann SAUNDERS about 1859 in Abergavenny area of Monmouthshire (from birth certificate of one of their children). Still need to order the marriage certificate to confirm his parents and find name of her father. 4. Do have Thomas GWATKIN, his wife Ann, and their children on the 1871 (have image), 1881 (have only index), and 1891 census (have image). a.

WATKINS, age 42, occupation carpenter joiner, at 16 Tudor Street, Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, (birthplace Llangattock Lingoed, Monmouthshire). Index gives RG 11 Piece 5235, folio 13, page 20.
