Hello Vivien
Great to hear from you. Very useful news of the location of John and Eleanor Laugharne grave at St Mary's Churchyard at Newport. Been there but I did not come across the grave- will be visiting Newport in early September so I would be grateful if you would let me know approx where the grave is. I still can not find their death on the FreeBMD site to confirm year of birth especially of Eleanor. Yes I had come across their marriage in the Parish Record where she was entered as a widow so I now assume that the entry in the Bishop's Transcripts was incorrect.
According to my research John and Eleanor Laugharne of Pant were the parents of Maria(h) (1817-1897) who indeed married John Rowland with one child named John (1849- 1862) and lived at Glanrhyd, Newport. Their second child was William (1819 - 1906). I am still researching his marriage but I know for certain that he was living at Perthygopa, Penbryn Cardiganshire in 1901 with Eleanor (my great grandmother's eldest sister) where he is recorded as a boarder and widow aged 83 living on his own means and from Dinas. William died in 1906 and is buried in a grave close to my great grandmother. The third child of John and Eleanor was Ann (1821 - still alive in 1911 at Soar Hill) - she married David Harries, lived at Parkydinas and had at least 7 children- Ann (1846), Margaret (1848), Eliza (1850), William (1852), Maria (1854), Eleanor (1858) and Martha (1860). The 4th child was Mary (1824 - 1907) who did not marry and lived in 1901 at West Street Newport with Elizabeth her younger sister. The 5th child was Thomas (1826 but died at 4 months in July 1826). Elizabeth came next (1828 -1912) unmarried and lived at Pant, Penpark (1861-1891) and West Street in 1901 and 1911). The last child was John (1832 -1837, died aged 5).
I believe that my great great grandmother (Martha Lewis) when she married Evan Jones from Blaenporth Cardiganshire was the daughter of ELEANOR from her previous marriage but I am still without a firm record of her birth and a previous marriage record for Eleanor. That is why I am still very keen to get Eleanor's exact date of birth as I have extensively researched Parish Records in the Newport area.
By the way two of the children of Evan and Martha Jones who lived at Pantroliaid Penbryn married girls from the Newport area. One of these was Rev David Charles Jones (Jones y Boro, London) who is buried at Gideon and the other was John who married a Margaret Vaughan from Nevern and lived at Pencnwc. After Margaret's death John remarried and also went to live in London but is buried at Brynmoriah, Brynhoffnant where William Laugharne is buried.
I hope that some of this is of interest to you - please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any reason to doubt my findings.
