Jan.It was a good whiile since I posted that, and thanks to this forum I did obtain a good bit of information, namely via a will that Danzey Sheen was the father of elinor not John who I mistook as a father because he was a witness.
I also strongly suspect there are Prices in my Evans line because Price Evans was one of Hughs children and I know from experience that they did name children with old family ties in mind.
I later managed to find that my fathers family also had relatives in the area, owen/owens and Jones, it's a small world.

I am trying to find the birth of Mary Moore, I have her wedding cert , where she married Thomas Smith.I have had great success in tracing that line.But not the Moore line.She married Dec 24th 1893 and her father was William Moore, she was twenty years old.On the 1901 census it was stated she was born in Risca,on the birth index I find two possible leads.Both born in december 1872 no Mary Moore was born 1873.I wondered if her birthday may have been Christmas day or the end of December.there is a Mary Moore registered in Mynyddyslwyn and one in Pontypridd.I did think that the Mary born in Mynddslwyn may have been her, but and that is what I need advice about, there is also a December death of a Mary Moore recorded as being 0, so I take it that means the child did not live a day.The question is would such a child have to have a birth cert as well as a death cert, even though she lived less than a day?if so it would only leave the Mary Moore in Pontypridd.Thanks in Advance for any help.

Thanks there seems to be a lot of Alsops from around this area.I came across a old newspaper you can get on to it from the Bristol site.There was a death of a Daniel Alsop, a coalminer, in the late  1700's, also a John Alsop.
Somewhere along the line I am sure someone will find the link,that will give a alsop family tree that unites everyone seeking there Alsop roots.The site of the old newspaper records was.

I am trying to find any information on the Sheens, of Glascwm,Evans, Glascwm, bettws diserth.Mathew Evans married Elinor Sheen in 1821,possibly the daughter of John Sheen, their son Hugh was born around 1840.I believe Mathew was the son of Ann and James Evans of Bettws diserth, and that he was born 1798,but only one census puts his age right the others put him as being born 1801.
Hugh married a Mary, and looking through the marriage index's she may be a Mary Davies and would have been married in 1861,could anyone be able to look up this for me?Hugh's father would be down as Mathew.
Thanks for any help.
