Hello - I have hit a brick wall with my Grandfather Cyril (Wally) Walter DAVIES who was born in Newbridge in 1922 to parents John DAVIES and Annie (WALL). 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. I am not sure where to go from here and would appreciate any input. Thanks, Carol in Canada
Hi I think Gwent FHS has a CD of Newbridge Tabernacle records which may help you. Incidentally I was born in Newbridge Sylvia From: Carol <carolbc@shaw.ca> Reply-To: monmouthshire@rootsweb.com To: MONMOUTHSHIRE@rootsweb.com Subject: [MON] DAVIES Date: Sun, 17 Jun 2007 17:25:27 -0700 Hello - I have hit a brick wall with my Grandfather Cyril (Wally) Walter DAVIES who was born in Newbridge in 1922 to parents John DAVIES and Annie (WALL).
