Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: 'journeyman'

I googled …
A journeyman is a worker, skilled in a given trade or craft, who has successfully completed an official apprenticeship qualification, and can then be hired by others, often by the day.

That could be a badly cut 41.
The 1 at end is same as 1 of at start of both years 1809 and 1841.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help deciphering name on baptism entry - Jane, Sarah or other?

It does help to have the whole page to look at.

What daughters’ names would you be expecting for this family in this period ?

Hard to see the date and Sarah or Jane though the next part “the Daughter of John … “ is clear.
Mother is Elizabeth.
For the child …
The first letter has the thicker curving downstroke of J or S same as J in John and S in Son, but too shadowy in monochrome to make out the complete letter.
The last letters, before the splot, look like _af
Long f similar to how of is written and wife
Unless that long letter is a crease or more blemish ?

But what girl’s ends that way ?

Completed Census Requests / Re: 1851 Devon [Cullompton] Mary Ann Shere
« on: Thursday 27 March 25 04:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hello cousin becksbeer3,
Welcome to RootsChat.

Are you happy researching your Robert’s origins ?
It’s a while since I looked at that branch. I used the transcripts of the Cullompton parish registers on GenUKI to go back from the folks in the 1841 and 1851 census. The registers are available online to members within the Devon Family History Society’s website.

Might be wise to start a new conversation if you want help with Robert, because he is not closely related to Mary Ann Shere.

I am happy to discuss via private message. Reply here, and then you will have hit 3 posts threshold, and will be able to contract me via a PM.

Best wishes,
Janelle

Caernarvonshire / Re: Hugh Jones of Mynydd Glas, Garn, Caernarvonshire

Thanx everyone,
I appreciate your replies.

Interesting to know what he was doing and the flavour of journalism then.

Hugh Jones, b 1866 probably at Penmorfa, was father of Hugh Owen Jones b 1886 at this particular place in the newspaper ;)
Hugh’s parents were yet another Hugh b 1838 probably Bangor and Margaret Morris b 1840 at Penmorfa.

We have DNA matches with this family, not Jones though, and want to be able to find evidence of this Margaret Morris from northern Wales being related to David Morris b 1830 around Bedwellty who came to South Australia.

The hunt goes on ;)

Hello Welsh readers,
Please translate the following text below for Hugh Jones from 1893 newspaper into English.

DOSBARTHWYR Y "CYFALLI EGLWYSIG." - Mae Mr Hugh Jones,
Mynydd Glas, y Garn, wedi cael ei benodi yn ddosbarthwr y Cyfaill dros Dolbenmaen, & Mr Robert Griffith, dros Prenteg. Dyma ddau Eglwyswr selog a gweithgar. Gwyn fyd na fuasai yn y ddau blwyf mawr gwasgarog
hyn gant o'r un ysbryd a hwy.


Thankyou ;)

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Joseph Perkins and Ann Elizabeth Linfordm Sheffield

When Charles Linford married for 2nd time on 4 Dec. 1898 he is described as widower.
Divorce was expensive and unusual for labourering folks,
was it unlikely to have happened in this instance?
