Hello Morgan, thanks for your reply.

My ancestor was John Parry, baptised at Denbigh Parish Church on April 20th 1827. His parents were Hugh and Anne, resident at Owen's Square.

Regards, Rob

Hi there,

Thanks for your posts, sorry it's taken a little while to reply!

Your information certainly appears to tally with mine. There are Bracegirdle's in the churchyards of Beddgelert and Llanbeblig as far as I remember, but I don't think Nehemiah himself is among them. It's possible his grave was cleared during later building work at Llanbeblig, his burial certainly took place there in 1855.

My information is that Nehemiah came from Knutsford to Beddgelert in the early 1800's to work as a foreman on the Maddocks estate. He was very probably one of the English overseers brought in to keep the locals under control in the Plas Gwynant slate quarry. He lived at Hafod Tan y Graig (which is now an outward bound centre I believe).

After his first wife died, Nehemiah married Ellinor Williams in 1820 and moved to Caernarfon, where his son (also Nehemiah) worked as a smith on Turkey Shore. This Nehemiah had a daughter, Mary Ellen (b. 1866) who was my g-grand-mother.

I've not been able to find a baptism for Nehemiah Sr. in Knutsford despite days and days of fruitless searching in Chester Archives. We'll probably never find out anything more about him, I'm afraid!

Best wishes,

Rob

Hi there

I've trawled through the Denbigh parish registers available on FindMyPast and have tracked down an ancestor's baptism from 1827. His parents' place of residence is recorded as "Owen's Square", but I've not been able to find this on any map.

Could anybody with local knowledge please let me know where this is?

Many thanks

Rob

Hi all,

I'm looking for any of the descendants of Frederick JARVIS who married Jane PARRY of the Toxteth Park area in 1912.

Their children were: (*)

I've got no further details I'm afraid. Could you let me know if any of these people appear in your tree?

Many thanks, Rob

Caernarvonshire Lookup Requests / Re: Llanbeblig MI's - Bracegirdle
« on: Thursday 10 March 11 22:05 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you so much for looking, Huwcyn.

Believe it or not, there were generation after generation of Nehemiah's in Caernarfon. So it's quite possible the lady in question was a daughter-in-law of the chap I'm after.

However, I'm a bit puzzled that you didn't find the original Nehemiah in the MI's. The Carnarvon Traders web-site definitely shows he was buried at Llanbeblig. I wondered what happened to his grave?

Thanks again, Rob

Thanks for all replies. I've got about as far as I can with this relative, I'd just like to know whereabouts in the cemetery his grave is situated.

If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

Regards

Rob
