There is a standard in the transcriptions. B after the grooms name does mean Bachelor, S or Spin means spinster, W or Wid means widow/er. B at the end or Li means married by Banns or by Licence. If there is an x next to a name it means they signed their mark. Father's name and occupation is given and then the witnesses. So Joseph Wayman and James Saunders were witnesses and they all signed their names. Hope that helps. If anything does need clarifying you could probably ask Mike to check the original. I have no idea why the commas are there. They mean nothing that I am aware of. regards Lyn in Oz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray Lewis" <harveyjl@iinet.net.au> To: <monmouthshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 3:58 PM Subject: Re: [MON] Help with Parish Record Transcript please > G'day Estelle, > > I can help a little, I think.

Hello Listers, As a result of Ian's helpful post to Jan earlier today of the following site: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monfamilies/myfamily-history.htm I have been able to find the marriage of my great grandparents on the following page: Trevethin Parish Record Transcripts - Parish Record Marriages 1655 – 1945+ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monfamilies/trev-marr-w-y.htm 4/3/1849, James, Watts, , FA, B, haulier, Pontypool, William Watts, dead, Elizabeth, Williams, , FA, Spin, , , John Williams, blacksmith, Joseph Wayman, John Williams, Mary Williams, B, , , , , , , , , , , , Would someone mind helping me "translate" the information please.

G'day Estelle, I can help a little, I think. The B after James Watts, FA, will more than likely be a shorthand for Bachelor. You will probably find that Joseph Wayman was something like the parish clerk. He would have prepared the entry and signed it as a witness to the entry. (something like a true record signature, saying that the event occurred on that day in that place.) I can't help you with the B after Mary Williams though. John Williams could be the bride's father or brother acting as a witness to his daughter/sister's wedding as could Mary be her mother, sister or sister-in-law acting in the same capacity. I know my grandmother had her brother and sister-in-law act as her witnesses at her wedding. As for the comma's. There are a few possibilities. One is that the transcriber put a comma in the transcript to indicate an empty column in the original register. That seems unlikely though as that would mean a further 11 or 12 columns in the register. Similarly, if the transcriber had used a comma delimitation protocol to convert the text of the transcription to a tablular format it would still give a larger number of columns than is regular in Anglican Church registers (from the few photocopies that I've seen) Sorry for the jargon but it means that for every comma in the text the program would generate a column and the comma would not be printed. To separate the lines there would have been a paragraph mark at about halfway - say before Elizabeth and after dead so that the two people's details would appear under one another. Then another after Blacksmith, and another somewhere after the B following Mary Williams. It's a possible solution but the only person who could really help you is the person who transcribed the record and he or she may not be available to help. Suffice to say that in transcription of records for FreeBMD there is a strict set of rules to follow. The major ones are (1) Type what you see. (2) If you can't read all or part of an entry, don't guess at what you think the originator might have written. (3) Each entry gets a new line.

Did a quick check for you. There was not an Amanda Moseley born in Western Australia between 1900-1917. Neither was there a David Moseley who arrived in W.A from 1829-1914. That is according to the Bicentennial Dictionary Series which lists the arrivals and families who lived in W.A during this time. However he could have arrived and we didn't find him. There were several "Moseley's" including those who came over to W.A. from Victoria. If you want their names let me know- Jan -----Original Message----- From: monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ian Moseley Sent: Tuesday, 30 January 2007 6:40 AM To: monmouthshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MON] GOULD WATERS MORGANS Hello Jan, Have you tried Mike Johns excellent web pages which list a lot of Monmouthshire Parish Records, and much more. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monfamilies/myfamily-history.ht m And seeing you are in Australia, I am trying to trace an Amanda Malvina Moseley who was born in Australia sometime after 1900, and that is all I know about her, her father might be David Moseley born about 1863 in Cardiff, Wales UK and he was in Flinders, Australia in 1918-19.

Hi Ian- Yep I have tried his page. I have the Index to BD & Ms for Western Australia and I can check some of the other States at our State Library.

I am trying to find out if the following person appears on any WWII Roll of Honour in the Rhymney Valley. He is Brynmor Jones the only son of James and Emily Jones (nee Davies) of Forge Street, Rhymney who was killed in action on HMS Jaguar 1st December 1941. I think Bryn went to Pengam School before going to Aberystwyth for teacher training. He was a teacher in a school in the Rhymney Valley before joining the Royal Navy. I would like to hear from anyone who has any information about Bryn and this family.

Hello Listers, I would love to know what became of Ivor Giles PARRY. He was born in 1884, the son of John Morris PARRY and Ann (nee HUGHES). John Parry, a printer/compositor by occupation, was born in Llangollen but after his marriage moved to Blaina and finally settled in Newport. John and Ann had three sons, George, Morris/Maurice and Ivor. George was my Gt.Grandfather. By 1901 John and Ann had both died and Ivor was lodging with Richard Marsh and family at 77 Capel Crescent, Newport and was working as a dock labourer. There's a FreeBMD reference to a marriage in June Qtr. 1909 of Ivor Giles Parry to either Maude Evelyn Chard or Ada Edwards. The other bridegroom was Michael John O'Brien. If anyone recognises these names and has any information about the descendants of Ivor please get in touch. Thank you, Sue (Kent)
