Breconshire / Re: St Davids, Brecon

Hello,

I am still trying to locate baptismal, marriage, and burial records for St. Davids.  The family name in question is MARTIN.  According to the census of 1841, there were 34 people in Breconshire that were named Martin, half of whom lived in the parish of St Davids.  These 17 people were all connected.

The earliest date I know is 12 May 1795 when a William and Elizabeth Martin had three sons (William, John and Henry) baptized.  William is not in the census of 1841, so it would seem clear that he had passed away before then.  Son William is also absent from the census. Elizabeth, however, was still alive in 1841 and in 1851.  In fact, in the census of 1851, she is listed as 99 years of age.  I believe that Elizabeth died in 1852. 

The census returns clearly show that the other sons, John and Henry, and a younger brother, Thomas, continued to live in Brecon. I would gratefully accept any help you could give me.  You could also contact me at my email:  bmalgd at hotmail.com

Hello Garfydd,

I found this post by chance today, and wonder if you can help me.  A number of my ancestors were married and baptized in St. Davids, and I suspect they were buried there as well.  The family name in question is MARTIN.  According to the census of 1841, there were 34 people in Breconshire that were named Martin, half of whom lived in the parish of St Davids.  These 17 people were all connected.  The earliest date I know is 12 May 1795 when a William and Elizabeth Martin had three sons (William, John and Henry) baptized.  Since William and Elizabeth are not in the census of 1841, it would seem clear that they had passed away before then, as well as their son William. The census clearly shows John and Henry, and a younger brother, Thomas however. I would gratefully accept any help you could give me.  You could also contact me at my email:  bmalgd at hotmail.com

I have learned that Elizabeth was still alive in 1841 and 1851.  In the census of 1851, she is listed as 99 years of age.  I believe that Elizabeth died in 1852.  I would appreciate any help possible locating death and burial information.
