I am researching the name KENNIFORD, which I have seen many different variant spellings of, including KENIFORD, HUNNIFORD, RENNIFORD, REINFORD, KENNAFORD, KENNEFORD, KINFORD to name but a few. My great grandmother was Esther Orena KENNIFORD born in Kidderminster in 1879 to her parents John KENNIFORD and Orena Harrison ROGERS. Esther married Francis TANNER in 1908. Esther's father John was born in Cosheston, Pembrokeshire in 1854 to his parents George KENNIFORD and Ellen HAGYN. The 1871 census records the following information about George's family: No of Schedule: 9 Road, street name etc: Village Civil Parish: Cosheston RG10/5512 George KENNIFORD Head Mar 52 Mason Cosheston Pembrokeshire Ellen KENNIFORD Wife Mar 42 Mason's Wife Liverpool Lancashire Joshua KENNIFORD Son Unm 18 Ship Carpenter Apprentice Cosheston John KENNIFORD Son Unm 16 Tailor Apprentice Cosheston Lewis KENNIFORD Son Unm 13 Scholar Cosheston Jane KENNIFORD Daur Unm 10 Scholar Cosheston Sarah KENNIFORD Daur Unm 7 Scholar Cosheston Charlotte KENNIFORD Daur Unm 4 Scholar Cosheston There are some 10 houses attributed to "Village" in the 1871 census and one other of those has a Kenniford family who must be related to this one. They were John, wife Jane and children Herbert, Lucy and Letitia. I have the 1881 census and 1891 census details for most of this family as they left the "Village" plus other details about John's family which I would be willing to share from Free BMD, LDS, 1901 Census, Ancestry etc. There are also some other surnames connected to this family, eg, George's daughter Sarah married William PURSER, and Jane or perhaps an older sister appears to marry a HARRIES (granddaughter of that name with George in 1891 census, whilst Charlotte may have married Henry SEARLE. If someone has any connections or can provide any additional information about this family I would love to hear from them. I would be interested to know where George may have worked (from later information I know he was a Stone Mason). I also know from a general search that there are still KENNIFORDS in Cosheston as I have seen details of a marriage in August 2003. Would SKS be able to look at either the 1851 or 1861 census for this family as I am sure they would be living at the same address and also because I have a feeling that there were older children than Joshua. Since both George and Ellen were born prior to 1837 it is very difficult for me to go any further as I am pretty much restricted to internet research from my home here in Munich. I would be able to reciprocate with look ups on Ancestry including 1871 and 1891. Many thanks for taking the trouble to read this far and for any help or information that may be provided.

Dear Pembrokeshire Listers, I thought you'd like to know that I received a phone call this week from Mrs Jessie Wagner in Tasmania. She'd taken delivery of the air-mail package I'd sent her containing printouts of the material I received from various members of the Pembrokeshire List in response to my e-mail (copied below). She was thrilled to have received such a helpful response to her request, and extremely grateful to all who replied. I have no doubt that in due course she will personally thank the individuals concerned.

Hi Listers I have just received the birth certificate of my great grandmother's brother. Joseph Patrick Peter SCURLOCK was born in April 1870 at Church Lakes, Llanstadwell. A search of the 1871 census failed to find him with his parents in 1871 but relatives James SCURLOCK, unmarried (head of household) and Sarah SCURLOCK married, (head of household) were at Church Lakes in 1871. A contact sent me RG10/5521 which is marked up page 10 and my family are on schedule 332 and 334. What I would like to know is whether there are any other properties in Church Lakes, on the following sheet, for example and what the names of these people might be. Is anyone able to check the 1871 and let me know? Many thanks. Kind regards Carol in Berkshire, UK

Hi all, Don't know if this has been mentioned here before but someone on another list found this great site for newspapers: http://www.onlinenewspapers.com For Welsh newspapers go to: http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/wales.htm I don't know if any of the Welsh papers include archives, but some of the US papers do. I've only just begun to search this site. It has thousands of world newspapers! Have fun! (You can guess what I'll be doing today). Debbie --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Hello all This week's trivial information (one of an occasional series). Nevern is quite a large parish and is also a strange shape. I've just discovered that it is split up into four quarters. 1 Morfa quarter - north of the main Newport to Eglwyswrw road and between the coast and Bayvil parish. The village of Nevern and the parish church are in this quarter 2. Crugiau quarter - north of the main Newport to Eglwyswrw road and between Bayvil and Eglwyswrw parishes. 3. Trewern quarter - the northern part of that part of the parish south of the main Newport to Eglwyswrw road, but including Brynberian. 4. Cilgwyn quarter - the remaining southern part of the parish containing some of the highest parts of Pembrokeshire. Gerry Lewis

Please could someone look on the 1841 census for these two who were married in Nevern Parish church in November 1841?  David Owen, of full age on the marriage certificate father David Owen.  David jnr is gave his address as Burry on the certificate. Also for Mary Bowen, of full age,  father James, farmer,  her address is Pwll on the certificate. I  think they were both born in the Neven area, were living a couple of miles apart at the time of their wedding and went back home to get married. Many thanks Ann

Dear Nick, John may never have been baptised, but the Talbenny church records should possibly be checked. Your John Hart married Margaret Twigg in 1833 at Hayscastle. I presume the parish register entry will have witness names which might give more clues, although you said it was uninformative. As John's age was 37 in 1851 census (birthplace Talbenny) it would seem likely that his parents were William Hart of Freystrop who married Mary Moy at Talbenny on 17th. July, 1813...so probably an end of 1813 baptism or 1814 ..even from July, 1813 if some of my ancestral line are anything to go by (I CAN count..but we are talking about Pembrokeshire!). A William Hart married Frances Philipps at Freystrop in 1780 (which might be a generation back for your line) and a John Hart married Elizabeth Morris at Haverfordwest St. Martin in 1792...so you can take your pick. There were other Hart marriages at Camrose and Steynton, but you seem to think that in your line the family names were repeated ad infinitum. If Mary Moy proves to be part of your ancestry, then a Benjamin Moy married Catherine Mackan at Hubberston in 1813 (05/06/1813)......he might be a brother or cousin to Mary and marrying in his bride's parish ...and perhaps if you investigated this marriage you might get similar witness names. A Francis Moy in 1782 married Mary Howell at St. Ishmaels....and this appears to be the only marriage which fits timewise. I have a slight interest in the Twigg name and that of Maccan (which might be Mackan) so would be interested to hear if you have anything further.

Hi Libby I've made some notes from the chapel registers and graveyard about the Cray family of Maiden Wells for someone else. I'll dig them out & send offlist if you'd like. The chapel is still there, I think the 1846 date refers to the building which is now used as the Sunday School room - it's opposite the chapel which was built later. Regarding records, they are still in the chapel. There are no christenings recorded before about 1950, and the marriages begin around 1900. The burials start from about 1879. The village itself is small, more of a hamlet really. Its situated about a mile outside Pembroke town. Yerbeston lane is the lane that leads from Maiden Wells to St Petrox. best wishes Sandra > > Hello everyone, > I recently received a marriage certificate for the above 2 > parties.

I am currently trying to trace a John Hart who married a Margaret Twigg in 1833 in Hayscastle. The marriage entry is very uninformative about the Groom other than he was a labourer However the 1851 census entry gives his age as 37 and place of birth as Talbenny. Armed with this information I have searched the Dyfed index for the Rhos hundred, but this does not record a John Hart being christened at the relevant time C1813. I know that my forbears were very uninventive in their choice of names but if anyone has stumbled across a John Hart C1813 I would be grateful for any information that might suggest a course of investigation.

<Also I would like to find out more about the church they were married in which was the Gilead Chapel, Maiden Wells. According to the Genuki Wales page this is a non-conformist Chapel of the Calvinistic Methodists (1846). Would that be the year it was built? Where would I find their records? Does it still exist today? Hi Libby The chapel data on the Monkton parish Genuki page comes from the Rawlins book, 'Parish Churches and Nonconformist Chapels of Wales'. Some more from the same source; 1846 was the original building date, also shows 1876. Preaching occurred in homes before that. It was a branch of Gershom, Pembroke Dock at first, later added to pastorate of Wallaston, Pwllcrochan and Bethel, St Twinnels. No known extant records. I hope someone else can tell you whether it still exists - and about the specific area 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: "Libby" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 7:55 PM Subject: [WLS-PEM] RE: Marriage of DAVIES,William Henry and CRAY, Elizabeth Ann > Hello everyone, > I recently received a marriage certificate for the above 2 parties.
