Carmarthenshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 Census - Rachel Emanuel (Manuel) Amended

Thanks Welsh Lady

Yes, I suppose it could be him although, as you say, the marriage cert from 1855 describes him as "farmer". Perhaps that was just a euphemism.

I see there is also another allegation of a crime the following year by Jemima Emanuel (perhaps another relation):

Accused Jemima Emanuel; Parish: Llandeilo Fawr; County: Carmarthen; Status: Singlewoman
Offence Breaking and entering prosecutor's house with intent, whilst she was in Llandeilo market.
Location and date Parish: Llandeilo Fawr; County: Carmarthen; Date: 13 June 1801
Prosecutor Elizabeth David, Llandeilo Fawr, widow
Verdict Not guilty.

I'll have a look at the wills on the NLW site.

Carmarthenshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 Census - Rachel Emanuel (Manuel) Amended: Any more information?

Hi

I am completely new to genealogy, so apologies for any lack of knowledge of how these things work. I have been prompted to look into the family history by my father's upcoming 80th birthday.

I was very excited to find this post as Rachel Williams (nee Emanuel/Powell) and Daniel (which is coincidentally my name too) were my paternal great great grandparents.

I was interested to read that it is possible to check the birth certs of Rachel's siblings; I assume therefore it is possible to find hers (even though the information I have is that she was born in 1831, ie before birth certs were introduced?).

If anyone could give me any information about Daniel/Rachel or their parents on either side, I would be extremely grateful or indeed, any advice about how to find things out myself.

Many thanks
