Pembrokeshire / Re: Richards of Sardis and Burton
« on: Thursday 14 November 19 19:38 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am directly descended from William Richards age16 in the 1881 census at Stony Slade. It looks like your relative was his sister.
I haven’t looked into his fathers first wife Elizabeth Lloyd. I have included some of the info I have below. The 1861 census shows my 2x great father was married to Elizabeth. Stony Slade is still there, it is a small holding. The main house has tumbled down. I’m not very far from it.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I have checked the info I have and true enough my grandfather had a brother,Arthur. I was too young when my grandfather died to have met any of his family. I did briefly meet my fathers cousin back in 2016 at my fathers funeral (Ken) in Swansea. I don't know his name but my Aunt thinks he was from grandmothers side. It seems the family didn't really keep much contact in later years which is a great shame. I now live in Llangwm with a view of the old farm at Stony Slad over the valley. I have a good family tree written down. This takes us back to around 1750 in the Burton area of Pembrokeshire. As you may have seen, Another person based in Pembroke Dock is also researching and has a lot of information. I would need an email address to send you a copy of our family tree. I am guessing you are based in Swansea as most of the family moved there. Further I have just spoken to my aunt(Sylvia). She remembers Arthur and visited him when she was young with her father. She thinks it was in Three Crosses or Gowerton. She remembers that Desmond worked for Genders butchers. She also worked with Dawn at the DVLA. It may be you have more info on how our family came to be in Swansea? I would be very interested in anything from 1920 to date.
Regards
Steve

Hi Mike, My name is Steve Richards. My great grandfather was William Richards of Stony Slade, his father was Thomas Richards of Stony Slade (1861). His sister was Anne Maria Richards. William was married to Fanny Barrah who died during or just after childbirth in 1896. He then married his housekeeper Florence Roberts. He had 5 boys in total and my grandfather was George Bertie Richards. William moved the family to Swansea in the late 1920' s, I believe. My father can remember visiting 1 Golden Hill in Pembroke as a young boy and believes there was some connection to the farm opposite. I have quite a lot of information on the family if you are interested in seeing it. I now live overlooking the old farm across the valley.
Regards
Steve
