Post by: avrilw on Saturday 04 June 11 19:12 BST (UK)

 Hello

does anyone have a connection to JANE OWEN of LLANGUGIG/LLANIDLOES?  born around 1800
She had a child called Mary bapt in Zion Independant in LLanidloes 17 Jan 1823.
Father was JAMES WATTIS of a parish called GEENANDWADSON???????????

Anyone heard of this groom's parish or a connectionwith JANE ?

where did you find the groom's parish? Can you add a scan of the writing?

There's a Gelligasson in the parish of Llanfair Caereinion.

Have you tried the archives to see if there's a bastardy bond?

Hi Avrilw

Not too sure whether there is any connection:
1841 Census: Jane Owen age 88 born about 1753, Towyn Merionethshire, Susan*ah Owen age 64 born about 1777.
1851 Census: Susannah Owen, born in Llandovery Carmarthenshire is living in Rhymney Monmouthshire
she appears as a mother in law.   Living with daughter Mary, married to David Jenkins.
Not sure if I have helped at all, or confused you more, but Susannah is in my family tree.  No trace of John Owen though.
Regards
Jean

thanks,

but I don't think there is a connection.  I have a Jane  Wattis in Worcestershire censuses showing her to be born in Llanidloes and LLanladus(also LLanidloes I think) dates are consistent with her birth around 1800

thanks anyway

Avril
