Title: unknown village
Post by: lyp24 on Thursday 06 October 16 19:58 BST (UK)
Can anyone tell me if they have heard of somewhere called Egliskinning in Carmarthenshire. Possibly around st Clears? It seems to clearly state that on a 1851 census which was in Manobier pembrokeshire. I am not too sure of Welsh geography.
Thankyou

I can't find anything of that name - could it be a bad transcription? Can you post either the name of the person etc or a copy of the image?

How about Eglwys Cymyn (or Cummin or Cymmyn) - it's a parish about 4 miles SW of St Clears?

First half is almost definitely Eglwys (welsh for church)

Familysearch have births/baptisms, but be aware that prior to 1810 they are patronymic

Familysearch have a baptism for Mary Evan dau. of Evan David and Elizabeth, 17 June 1811
in eglws cymmun.

The church is actually St Margaret's, there is quite a bit about it online, including a transcription of memorials and gravestones. Genuki  is a good starting point

Marriage Eglwyscummin Church, 8 October 1846, between George Evans, Labourer, Coldwell (Cyffig Parish), and Mary Richard, Roses, Eglwyscummin. Fathers George Evans and James Richard. Witnesses Henry Thomas and William Jenkins.

There is a George Evans baptised in Bethlehem Chapel, St Clears, born 20 July 1822, son of George Evans and Mariah John.
There is a Mary Richard daughter of James and Mary Richard, Mill, Lampeter Velfrey (next door parish)
baptised in Lampeter Velfrey Church on 5 November 1815.

Does this help?

Maybe I should have realised that Evans was her married name  ;D ;D
Possibly too much wine with the steak

Hope it was a good wine!!

I have the advantage of years of digging around in Eglwyscummin and neighbouring parishes!

cheers,

Little bit more.

James Richard married Mary Harry on 29 November 1811 at Pendine Church, Carmarthenshire.

Mary Harry was baptised 25 Nov 1781 at Eglwyscummin Church, daughter of Thomas and Mary Harry, Pwll Cogan, Eglwyscummin.

Best wishes,
