Need help with a marriage please. William Beynon b: 1821 Llangennith and Elenor b: 1822 Port Eynon, Glamorganshire. Can only find them on the 1851/61 census. Thanks.
-
The marriage must have been after 1837 so have you looked on freebmd? When was their first child born?

See freebmd entry 1848 for William Reynon - wrong name on full GRO index so not a freebmd transcription error
-
Their first child was born in 1850. Only seen a marriage in Narbeth for William and Elenor. Narbeth is quite a bit away from Llangennith. Thank you.
-
The 1848 marriage I mentioned above was in Swansea - have you found it as it's not clear from your reply?
-

Yes - the marriage is on freebmd if you look under Reynon as shown in my reply above. Eleanor was nee Stephens
-
Hi it looks possible a George Edwards marries a Jane Stephens Sept qtr 1849 Swansea 26 617

Edit Jane did marry a George Edwards, in 1861 shown on my site as EDWARD surname RG09/4109/3/2
-
That is the right census. Didn't think of the surname being spelt wrong. Looks like it fits. So Jane Edwards was possibly a sister of Elenor. Thank you all.
-
Yes CarolW, hopefully the marriage is right, as someone said Beynon was spelt with an R. Thanks.
-
Hi again puzzled by the "Niece" Ann Chalk aged 8 b Porteynon whose child is this and was she the Hannah Jane Chalk March qtr 1842 Swansea 26 461?

Thanks all. Re: William Beynon, Llangennith. I am puzzled too with the niece, Ann Chalk. (1851 census). In a 1891 census, another William Beynon b: 1821, there is a Sarah Jane Chalk listed as a niece. Chalk is not a very popular name, so wonder if there is some connection here.
-
Hi again, the Sarah Jane Chalk 18 in 1901 looks to be with widowed mother Margaret Chalk 50 both born Rhossilly Census ref RG13/5074/47/31
Possible marriage John Chalk to a Margaret Beynon 1878 Swansea 11a 764
Marriage 19th October 1878 St James Swansea
John Chalk 28 occ Mariner Father William Chalk occ Mariner
Margaret Beynon 29 Father William Beynon occ Farmer
Witnesses Richard Beynon Jane Richards

Would this be the same family as Wm Beynon and Sara Bevan both born 1808 who were the grandparents of Edgar Evans of Antarctica fame?
