Hi Irene Using Google it seems that Selina is a common female given name, of Greek origin, meaning "moon". It can also be spelled Celina, and Selena. It is also said to be the name of the Goddess of the Moon commonly used in 17th century and revived in 19th century, Regards Lyn In Oz. > -----Original Message----- > From: monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of irene moores > Sent: Sunday, 1 July 2012 12:33 AM > To: MONMOUTHSHIRE@rootsweb.com > Subject: [MON] Selina Jones > > could sks please locate Selina Jones with parents David and > Margaret, pre 1881. >   > Also, where is the name Selina likely to be from? >   > Many thanks. > cheerio > Irene > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > MONMOUTHSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word > 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body > of the message

Hi Irene I can only tell you that the name Selina was popular in the forest of Dean My grandmother (born Lydbrook) was called Agnes SelinaI think this came from the countess of Huntingdon who began a Methodist movement in the FOD Sylvia On Sat, Jun 30, 2012 at 3:33 PM, irene moores <irenemoores@btinternet.com> wrote: > could sks please locate Selina Jones with parents David and Margaret, pre 1881. > > Also, where is the name Selina likely to be from? > > Many thanks. > cheerio > Irene > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MONMOUTHSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I wonder if anyone can help me locate the burial of my grt grt grandfather, Roger Prosser or point me in the right direction.  He was originally from Breconshire but moved down to Monmouthshire and appears on th 1841 census living with his wife, Ann and his sons John and Willliam  in Uschlarwcoed at Malthouse Row.  He appears to die sometime between 1846 and 1851 as in 1851 Ann is a widow living at 13 Charles Street, Tredegar, Bedwelty.  She also has a daughter Margaret born 1846.  There are two deaths listed in the right area (Abergavenny district) during this time - one in 1847 and one in 1851.  I have the death certificate for the 1851 death but am still not sure it is the right Roger.I have searched a variety of sources incl the records on FMP. the non-conformist records from Geneealogy online, St George's Tredegar but have not found any record of a Roger Prosser being buried which fits. I believe the family were non-conformist - John was baptised at the Ebenezer Chapel in Upper Honddhu nr Merthyr Cynog, Brec in the period before they moved to Monmouthshire but I don't know whether this would prevail as far as burials are concerned.   I haven't found any baptisms for the other children yet which might point me in the right direction as to where they likely worshipped.  After 1851 I can't find any of the family at all.  Ann may well have died or remarried but I can't find any record which looks a possible match.  If anyone has any ideas or can help I would be eternally grateful.  This has been a brick wall for so long now.  There are so many non-conformist chapels/Churches in the area that I am at loss as to where to begin.   Many thanks Sue in Newark on Trent

Any parish church in Wales can found by searching the Church in Wales web site http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/ for the parish name. That will take you to a page with details of the current clergy including contact details. [Note that you may need in some cases to look at the GENUKI page to find alternative spellings for parish names.] I quote : The parish of Bedwas [M152] is in the benefice of Bedwas with Machen with Rudry [M599], which is in the deanery of Bassaleg. The parish has a PCC, its status is historic, and the preferment is Rector. It is in the Diocese on Monmouth, and is in the historic county of Monmouthshire, just over the river Rhymney from the historic county of Glamorgan. http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/parishholding/monmouth/m152-en is the site for Bedwas showing service times and locations and times when the Church is open to the public. There is a photo of the Church there. Most churches do not have letter-boxes so do not have postal addresses. On the web site it says that the church is at the top of Church Street, Bedwas. The post code for high numbers in Church Street, Bedwas is CF83 8EG. You can find that out by putting the street name into www.old-maps.co.uk . If you put that postcode into Google Maps you will see the Church in the aerial view. The map shows that the Church House Inn, Bedwas, CF83 8AY is directly opposite the Church. If you are looking for data from old parish registers, it is unlikely that the current clergy will hold these. Probably they would be a Gwent Archives in their new location in Ebbw Vale. The list of registers held there is on the GENUKI page for Bedwas http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/MON/Bedwas/index.html I expect you have already found that Familysearch holds an index of baptisms at St Barrwg's 1653-1715 and 1717-1875 under the IGI batch number C021101 , as given on Hugh Wallis's site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm#Page There are also separate transcriptions of baptisms 1717-1812 and burials 1717-1812 on Mike John's web site http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~monfamilies/bedwasprt.htm I hope this helps both you and anyone looking for any parish church in Wales. A good start is to do a Google search on GENUKI and the parish name.

Dear Listers, recently I visited the new records office at Ebbw Vale for the first time and, of course, didn't find what I was looking for. Are there any more experienced researchers who could help? I'm looking for the origins of the above farm owned by the James family until 1891 when it was sold to Dan Albert Lewis the nephew of the widow, Margaret James. I have traced the farm to the 1843-44 tithe map and the 1841 census and was mentioned in the diaries of Lewis Edmunds in 1825 when he visited Beryn James of Glandwr to do some work. It isn't mentioned in the collection of Monmouthshire houses. There is an 1821 survey of the area done for the Baron of Abergavenny which needs more investigation. There is nothing in the farm card index. I am almost positive it was never owned by the Llanover. Is there anything else I could look at to find when this farmhouse was built and by whom? Cheers, Luned presently in UK Sent from my iPad

My humble apologies for the emails that appeared in the above lists in the past week or so? I received an email from a known source that had been infected but have taken the appropriate steps, including changing my password, to prevent this happening again. Again my apologies. Luned currently in the UK.

William Lewis lived in Cwmcarn, married Mabel Fowler 1906 . the family immigrated in 1926 but relatives still live in cardiff and Pontypool area. Interested in making contact to exchange family information. Thanks Kevynne

Dear Sian, Thank you very much for your comments. The truth is that I attended Moseley Secondary School between 1931 and 1935. After I left, it became a Grammar School and now it is a Language College. About nine months ago, I contacted the school's archivist and asked what he knew. He made available to me almost all of the terminal school magazines, (three per year) which recorded all the comings and goings of pupils and staff. It was that information which started me to enquire about staff members who had impressed me as a 11-16 year-old. So I photographed every page of all of them. They occupy 2.17 gigabytes on my laptop The staff always wore their gowns to teach, and when they left, a very brief personal history was sometimes included giving the university which they had attended. So then I wrote to the archivists of the various establishments, and they have been very helpful. I do already have quite a wealth of information, but I thought it would be good to make contact with any descendants there might be to ask what they remembered of their ancestor.The West Monmouth School even sent me a History of the School which included a reference to David Hughes as a French master from 1921-1923, when he became deputy head at Moseley. I was good at French and I found him very kind and helpful. I am very nearly an ancestor myself. If I survive another month, I shall be 93, My two children have retired, my five grandchildren are mainly in their prime and I have seven gt.grandchildren, aged between seven and 0.3. So, thank you very much indeed for your help, I hope I haven't bored you.

Hello Gordon, You could try researching the staff at the King Edward VI Grammar Schools at that time. Theschools still exist, so may well have archives. The boys' schools are K. E. Five Ways, K.E. Camp Hill and K.E. Aston. (If you google them you can get full details.) It's possible that the now independent King Edward's School was also a grammar school then. Of course, there would have been other grammar schools in the area at that time, I would imagine, however, they will be harder to research given that they no longer exist. I'd start with the King Edward's Foundation schools and only try to move on if they don't prove fruitful. Regards, Sian

I am trying to contact any descendants of David Hughes who was a French Master at a Birmingham Grammar School during the 1920's to 1950's. He had been wounded in the 2nd war. He had been born on 3rd Nov. 1893, his father was a miner living in Bridgend when David went to university. This data is by courtesy of his university I hope to hear from someone. . Thank you Gordon Reed.

Hello, I am looking for any information about WILLIAM R HOCKEY, he was born Monmouth Abergavenny about 1844, I believe he left that area around 1865 and settled in Weston Super Mare. If there is any other person researching this man or can help in any way would they kindly get in touch, thank you. Regards, Syd

I am looking for contact with any descendants of Charles and Jane Fowler. They went to Abertillery from Bristol in Gloucestershire around 1905.. they had a large family of 16 children so I am hoping that there may still be descendants in the area. Thanks Kevynne
