Pembrokeshire / Re: Brewery

Is anyone still following this thread? If so, I have more information that I can share. James Elliston carpenter is my 3x ggf and I have been researching the line back to Suffolk and Essex. I won't give any more detail unless someone out there is "listening" 😊

Hi Steve

Thanks for that information. It confirms what I have on my tree, always good to get someone else who is working on the same lines. It is so hard to get further back, particularly as I don't live in the area and can't access the records office myself.

Thanks again
Linda

I know this is a long time since you first posted this, but I have just come across it. I am descended from Daniel and Hannah. They were my 3x great grandparents and their son John my 2x great grandfather!

Cardiganshire Lookup Requests / Mary VALENTINE Rees JONES Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn/Ysbyty Ystwyth
« on: Sunday 18 June 17 09:53 BST (UK)  »
If there is anyone who has access to Cardiganshire parish records for Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn/Ysbyty Ystwyth I would be really grateful for a lookup for info on my 2x great grandparents Mary Valentine (b abt 1811, probably in Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn) and Rees Jones b abt 1806 (probably in Ysbyty Ystwyth). According to FreeReg Mary and Rees married on 15 Jul 1831 in St John the Baptist in Ysbyty Ystwyth, but I cannot find the record on FindMyPast or Ancestry.

I was delighted to find Mary Valentine as I thought her surname would make her easy to trace after all the Edwards, Jones and  Evans names I have in my tree. It also helped to explain my great uncle being named Thomas Valentine Edwards (Rees and Mary's daughter Jane married Ebenezer Edwards). However, Mary is proving hard to find. I cannot find a baptism at all. I think she might have had a brother Richard b abt 1801 and a sister Jane b abt 1798, but I cannot find baptisms for them either! There is a tree on Ancestry that gives Mary's parents as being Richard Valentine and Nancy Ann, but there is no evidence attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance :)

Devon / Re: Robert GREGORY Elizabeth Ann ELLIOT marriage BRIXHAM 1837

Thanks for your reply, but I do have other evidence to confirm that these are the correct two people (including a family bible), just not any evidence of a marriage, which is really frustrating. Oh well, perhaps they never did tie the knot! I have searched nationally, as various of the children were born elsewhere, but still no joy. Hey ho, the joys of genealogy! They lived apart for the last 20 years of their lives, both still in Brixham, but not together. Oh to have a window back to see what happened.

Thank you, it would help to explain it. I have other evidence of his birth year on his master's certificate. It does seem odd that there is no evidence of any marriage between his mother and father though

There is a baptism in Brixham on 10 Jun 1838 for Robert Henry which also records his date of birth. He was baptised Robert George Elliott Gregory (son of Robert and Elizabeth), but on his marriage certificate has become Robert Henry. He had a brother George Henry Elliot Gregory b1841. I can find George on the Civil Registration birth index but not Robert. All very confusing!  ???

Yes, both born in Brixham, both from fishing/mariner families. I can find marriages for everyone else except them  :-\. Their children were not all baptised in Brixham - baptisms occurred in other fishing ports including Ramsgate, Hull, so I have done a national search for the marriage too. I suppose they might not have married, but the fishing community was very tight knit and conventional, so it would be very unusual

Hi

I am also descended from Robert Gregory and Mary Bray via Robert Gregory (b 1787); Robert Gregory (b 1815); Robert Henry Gregory (b 1838) and my great grandfather was Ernest Atherton Gregory (b 1873) - he moved to Tenby in Pembrokshire. Although I can trace the Brays back a few generations the origins of Robert remain a mystery to me and everyone else I know who is researching this family. There were Gregorys along the coast who were fishermen/mariners about a century before Robert was born, but there seems to be no clear line of descent. I can find an Emmanuel Gregory son of Richard born abt. 1756 in Highweek who was a mariner and he is of an age that he could be a brother of Robert, but no trace of Robert's birth. I feel it unlikely that Robert's origins lie in North Devon, although this would be nice for me as that is where I was born, but cannot find him in South Devon.

Have you made any more progress at all?
