Pembrokeshire Lookup Requests / Glamorganshire Llansamlet Look-up Request: Mathew Mathew and Charlotte Walker
« on: Tuesday 17 May 16 18:20 BST (UK)  »
Mathew Mathew and Charlotte Walker were born in Llansamlet Parish around 1780. They married at Llansamlet Parish church 03 Jul 1802. I have a copy of their marriage and the baptismal records for their children David, William, Mary, Richard, Elizabeth, Anne, Samuel. I have additional info on Mary Mathew/Matthews who married James Rees.
I was hoping to find additional info on Mathew and Charlotte: parents names, dates of birth, dates of death, their siblings, any of their childrens' info.
Thanks.
Tim

Forgot to mention, Benjamin Rees and Hannah's first child was born in 1800 and they had 4 children by 1810. So the marriage record here seems quite unlikely.

Thank you both for your help.

Thanks for the info. I somehow put Rhoda's death as October when my records say April. Sorry about that.

I do not believe the death record is the correct one for Benjamin. I previously purchase it. I lists the death of Benjamin Rees, 21 Dec 1837, Begelly, Pembrokeshire, male, age 53, occupation: collier, cause of death: Asthma, mark of John Rees (words I cannot understand: Hean Lartte?), brother present at death.

I believe my Benjamin was a carpenter, but who knows.

Thanks both of you for your help. I can use any guidance I can get. I live in USA, which is a long way from Wales.

I've been to some of Wales: Cardiff Castle, Pendoylan, Coity Castle, Bridgend, Aberkenfig, Tondu, Llangynwyd, Maesteg, Nantyfflyon, Treorchy, Merthyr Tydfil, Aberdare, Caerphilly Castle, Tintern Abbey. Beautiful country and nice people.

Pembrokeshire Lookup Requests / Pembrokeshire Lookup Request-Robeston Wathen for Hannah Rees
« on: Thursday 05 May 16 21:37 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to locate the graves of my 4th great grandparents Hannah and Benjamin Rees.

Hannah Rees (nee ?) was born about 1780 in Newton, Pembrokeshire. She died 3 Jun 1866 in Robeston Wathen. I have the death registry but cemeteries were not listed on them back then.

Her husband Benjamin Rees was born in Wales and died 1827-1841. He was dead before the 1841 census and his last child was born 1827.

Of their 10 children, the only one I was able to find a death date was for their daughter Rhoda Rees. She died 08 Oct 1917 in Robeston Wathen at 98 years old! Not sure where she is buried, either.

I have birth and christening info for most of the children but I think it would be great to find out where (cemetery name) Benjamin, Hannah, and Rhoda Rees are buried. Also, I would love to eventually find out if their was a tombstone.

Thank you for any help. If their is a fee based web site that would be of help, I would be willing to try it out.

Tim
