Hi,
I'm new to this, but looking for information on my great great great Grandfather, George Edmund, born 1804 & married 1831 in St.Davids, Pembrokeshire.
I'm trying to trace back, who his parents were etc.
Any advice & help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

Welcome to Rootschat
Can’t help with his parentage but a tree on Ancestry has incorrectly shown his wife’s parents as George’s parents. Wife was Dorothy Martin & her mother Margaretta is living with them in 1861
-
Thank you, yes I saw that his Mother in law had been incorrectly shown as his Mother too - confused me at first! appreciate the reply

Welcome to rootschat
Just to add, George signed the register when he married in 1831, one of the witnesses was a William Edmund

Baptism at St Davids 14 February 1802 George son of William Edmund and Mary his wife - image on FindMyPast
-
Thank you, yes I saw that ... I need to do some more research as not sure whether his Father or not. I've since been told there are a number of Edmund graves in the Cathedral too
-
Thanks re: baptism, that's great
-
The grave in St.Davids Cathedral is William Edmund I understand too, so I have hopefully some more lines of enquiry to look into re: whether dates fit etc.

Hi Rosie,
Would you be able to point me in the direction of where the baptism document is on FindMyPast please. I searched but couldn't see. Do I need to be a subscription member?
Thanks

hi Smudge
Coming late to this board, but there are five Edmunds buried in the cathedral at St Davids - if you want details, let me know?
-
Thank you, that would be great. Much appreciated

Here goes -
1. Ebenezer - sacred to the memory of Ebenezer, second son of George and Dorothy Edmund, who died 12 Spt 1850 aged 17 years.
2.Eliza - in memory of Eliza, daughter of J and M Edmund, who died May 15 1847, aged 2 years. Also of H E, who died May 18 1853, aged 1 year. Also of W E who died April 26 1854, aged 3 years.
3. Elizabeth -see [5]
4. W - see [2]
5. William- er cof am William Edmund, o'r dref hon; yr hwn a fu farw mewn tangnefydd. Ionawr 3 1856, yn 64 mwlydd oed. Bu an ddiacon gyda a Trefnyddion Calfinaidd am lawer [of - should be o'r??] flynyddoedd, a gydawodd gylch helaeth o gyfeillion mewn galar mawr ar ei ol. Ac Elizabeth, eianwyl briod, yr hwn ayn yr un modd a'i dylynoedd, Medi 17 1860, yn 74 oed. "Canys ffyddlawn y cyfrid hwynt".
You might [like farm name etc.] get more info. from the parish register, of course.
I have assumed you can translate [5] - if not, get back to me?
-
Thanks again, that's really good of you.
I did try and look for graves in the Cathedral & other cemetery in St.Davids a year or so ago, but failed to find any. I also asked within the Cathedral library but unfortunately they couldn't help.
A long shot, but would you have any ideas how I'd go about looking for?

Ah - you need a copy of the MIs.
