Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: You gotta see 'Dis Dick' on burial record!
« on: Yesterday at 17:25 »
Just wondering if its DIO not DIS. Dio is a name that does appear in Wales in medieval times. It is recorded in many welsh pedigrees. AI gives the following:

"ap Dio" appears in various Welsh pedigrees, as "Dio" (likely a shortened form of a name like Deio, a diminutive of Dafydd) was a common patronymic element in medieval and early modern Wales.

Montgomeryshire / Re: address on marriage cert 1863

One of the townships in Guilsfield is Farchoel (Varchoel) so think this is the place.
Very badly written.

Definitely says Somersetshire in the enumerator's book but these were transcripts of the returns were they not?

There is a place in Northamptonshire, 2 miles east of Banbury, Oxfordshire, called Overthorpe. Makes you wonder if the county was mis-transcribed.

« on: Monday 27 October 25 10:08 GMT (UK)  »
Freereg gives the following baptisms in Lopen:

Lydia 3 Feb 1809
John 2 Sep 1810
Jacob 18 May 1812
Thomas Priddle 7 May 1814
Sophia 31 Aug 1816

All the children of John and Mary Trott. John Trott was a carpenter.

John Trott and Mary Priddle were married at St Martin, Kingsbury Episcopi, 22 Nov 1803 according to Phillimore' transcript.
Probably more children born before 1809.

Lancashire / Re: Help Finding Marriage and Death Record, Ellen Hughes Jones Owen
« on: Wednesday 22 October 25 20:51 BST (UK)  »
An Ellen Owen, age 60, died Sep Qtr 1924, Liverpool, Volume 8b, page 150.
If this looks correct maybe you could find her burial. She may have been buried in the same plot as her second husband. Its possible her second marriage may have taken place in Anglesey if she had ties there, but of course could be anywhere.
