I am looking for the parentage of my 4x great Grandmother Esther Gibby who was born in about 1786 in Lambeth, Pembrokeshire in about 1821 she married her husband James John and had at least three children the family moved from Pembrokeshire to Trevethin, Monmouthshire in about 1838, if anyone could help me I would be very grateful thank you very much.

On your behalf I searched Begelly registers today in the hope of finding the baptism of James John & Hester Gibby, alas whilst there are 'John' families present there is no reference to a baptism of James. There is also no reference to the surname Gibby pre 1802 which is from when I started searching for her bapt.

I quickly searched Begelly L.T.A.'s today for 1796 to see if a Gibby family occupied some cottage in the parish in this year. Alas there is no reference to the family, however I did note a Daniel John who occupies the property called Bingas at Begelly, the property in the ownership of Mrs Barloe, who owned much of the village at the time.

Hi,
I don't know about Welsh place names, but are you sure her birthplace is Lambeth, in 1851 I think it looks more like L???bwith?
Also do you think she could have been a widow when she married James as she would have been about 35?
Regards,
Daisy

Thanks for that Daisy I hadn't given any thought to the possibility she may have been a widow I will check it out.

Trying to read 1851 birthplace, could it be Ludchurch?
There is an IGI submitted record for a Christening at Ludchurch on 5th December 1783
-
Thanks very much for that am checking it out right now.
-
I just checked out the baptism and believe it has to be my Esther the only drawback for me is the name of her parents aren't listed Father only known as Gibby.

There is a Lambeeth Farm,Hundleton,near Pembroke.That might be the place.

Whilst at the Record Office today I searched Ludchurch baptism register for the period 1780 to 1795 and found only the following
Esther Gibby baptised 05 Dec 1783 (No parents are noted)
Had a look at B.G. Charles Place names of Pembs, I could find no reference to Lambeth of Ludchurch the only entry that appears is for Lambeeth(2 'e's) at Pwllcrochan. He is not infalliable.

Thanks for that, it looks like Esther will remain quite a mystery.
