Caernarvonshire / Re: Lookup Request - Which Caernarvon Church?
« on: Wednesday 28 May 25 19:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi, the 1911 census states she speaks English only, my guess would be the Anglican church probably St Mary, unless Joseph Nolan was Catholic. Nolan is an Irish name so it could be that this was a Registry Office wedding.

Caernarvonshire / Re: Mary Brown, born Bangor 1890(ish), daughter of James

The 1901 census has this mary living with a father called alexander brown at tyddyn llwydyn bangor, not James Brown.

She’s at the same address in 1891.

mary brown GRO search: 1887 march Bangor page 423, mother’s maiden name:  Jones

You can buy a digital copy to confirm that this is the correct person. She’s the only one in Bangor in the years around 1890.

You’ll need to register on the GRO and pay £3 for a digital image.

it’s under the username hughes827, not their main tree, might be an exploratory tree.

There’s a tree on ancestry with this family. They’ve got a marriage in 1912 but it would appear that it
‘s incorrect. Everything else matches. They’ve got a father for Joseph and the children named, nothing else.

Caernarvonshire / Re: Merionethshire-Caernarfonshire border change
« on: Tuesday 18 March 25 08:16 GMT (UK)  »
Helo eto, Gresham’s book:Eifionydd states that the boundaries of the parish were reorganised several times. This was a result of number of owners after dissolution including Anne of Cleeves and Queen Mary, the church of Beddgelert being within the parish of llanfihangel y pennant at this time. Eventually, Sir John Bodvel came to own the land, gifted to him after he was standard bearer in the kett rebellion.

Gresham states: A reorganization  of boundaries was clearly necessary, and this was done by cutting off the prior’s land and the hamlet oerddwr from llanfihangel y pennant and giving them to the parish of Beddgelert. Llanfihangel was then served with another parish in Eifionydd. Much later, perhaps in the seventeenth century, the district of nanmor in merioneth…was given to beddgelert

Fe wnai ateb yn y iaith fain..

County boundaries usually followed commote boundaries, but the priory fell outside this normal arrangement because Llewelyn Fawr gifted the land to them but it is unclear if Nanmor was within this. Colin Gresham created a paper about this subject but I haven’t got a copy. (the last prior of Bedkelert …or similar!)

After dissolution the parish retained the priory boundaries and then Nanmor became part of Beddgelert but still within Merionethshire. Landowners (wynne of bodvel /glynllifon?) may have had an influence.

In between 1890 and 1895 the Nanmor part of Beddgelert became part of  Caernarvonshire.

Gobeithio fod hwn yn rhoi fwy o atebion nac cwestiynnau!

Hwyl

the last sentence is mistranslated by google:
Gwyn fyd na fuasai yn y ddau blwyf mawr gwasgarog
hyn gant o'r un ysbryd a hwy.

should be:
The world would be a better place if they had the spirit of these two sparsely distributed parishes.

I’ve never given the slash marks much thought! I thought they were tallying them against summary sheets.
