Hi again Ed I can't help with your research as such but neither can I help jumping in wearing my Genuki hat ! I have details of your book already on the main Genuki CGN page, as in; <Porter, Edward T. The Olivers of Cardiganshire 1778-1993: their descendents in Wales, England and North America and some of their related Welsh families. Author, 1993(USA). Apart from family details, contains background history of the area, especially the lead mining district around Gwnnws. My question, apologies if too cheeky, is to ask whether you would like to include the background history as extracts from your book within Genuki ? And/or the data you have extracted from parish records, if that extensive coverage ? Don't be afraid to say 'no way', off list if you prefer :-) Gareth List administrator for DYFED, CGN & PEM Genuki Wales http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/ Lookup Exchange http://home.clara.net/tirbach/lookup.html Help Page http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ed Porter" <edtporter@earthlink.net> To: <WLS-CARDIGANSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 11:17 PM Subject: Re: [WLS-CGN] CGN FHS journal - again Ré the farm account book of Jenkin Jones ...... Aiden Jones' contribution, etc. This entry reminded me of a search I had abandoned years ago relative to a farm in Tregaron .....Ochr Derigaron, or Ochrderigaron (today, just Ochr)? 1. A man named William Oliver lived and worked at Ochrderigaron between 1842/3 and 1850. We are looking for the ancestry of his wife, one Mary Jones. (could she be more difficult?) 2. This Wm. Oliver came to Wisconsin in 1850. His son Peter was buried from Ochrderigaron farm in Strata Florida Cemetery in 1843. 3. Mary Jones was from Tynypompren, Lledrod when she married William Oliver of Pantgwyn, Upper Gwnnws at Gwnnws in 1836. Witnesses were John Evans and Hugh Felix. 4. In 1841 this couple and children were living at Pantgwyn with his parents, Richard and Elizabeth (Evans) Oliver. Two Tregaron baptisms are for daughters of this couple, as well, both noted from Derigaron (1844, and 1847). 5. Mary Jones was born in Cards. ca. 1816. William Oliver was baptized in 1814. I have copied the parish records from 1841 to 1871 and find Williamses, Felixes, Joneses, etc. in spades in Ochrderigaron. Since there are no Olivers there, except this family, I wonder if Mary (Jones?) Oliver was one of their relatives. Any ideas would be appreciated. Edward T.
