Maggie, am I able to invite you to my Ancestry tree somehow - I'm not sure how much is allowed via our site here. I'm thinking we have the same names but we're a step or two apart, but I would be very happy for you to poke around the tree to see if there's anything of interest.
I shall keep considering everything you covered previously.

Hello - I hope we are communicating here - I've had to change from Google because I just couldn't break through the wall of adverts. It was like a rash of adverts over everything, and really spoilt my enjoyment. Hopefully, I've managed to get around this.
I will take a long look at all the detailed information you provided but I do recall coming across a Neate Perry Neate. This was quite some time back but I'll take a look and see what I can come up with and compare against my own tree.

The Common Room / Maiden name of mother (+ father's name) given on baptism records, Wales.
« on: Monday 14 April 25 14:21 BST (UK) »
Throughout the period of the births of my 5 x g grandmother's children, between 1792 and 1806 in Pembrokeshire, Wales, all the baptism records show her husband by his name and she by hers ie her maiden name, directly after his but as part of the same entry - they are clearly both the parents. Entries for other people appear to be as one surname eg daughter/son of Fred and Freda Bloggs ie 'Freda' is known by her married name on the record.
Is it unusual to have such entries in the baptism records and might it indicate that, despite the years spanned, they were not married (marriage record not found to date).
Thank you

Thank you both - I'll get into FindMyPast, I think focus may have been on Ancestry, and see what else they may have to offer. May be I can find more about John the father and discover where he lands from.
From the Will we discerned John's second marriage, to Martha Warlow, may have been a quick and late affair.
Would you consider Reynish to be a more unusual surname in Wales?
And, are there any thoughts why Martha's full maiden name was given on the records of the baptisms rather than the normal husband, wife, husband's surname type entry that is so typical of the records.
Many thanks

One Name Studies: N to S / REYNISH - Talbenny, Pembrokeshire
« on: Sunday 13 April 25 11:30 BST (UK) »
Hi - I seek information regarding REYNISH in Talbenny, Pembs. There appears to be instances of REYNISH in other areas, but limited where these people were. They are a bit of a mystery.
Mary and Martha Reynish were born to John Reynish, farmer Talbenny d 1789, I have a copy of his Will but cannot find his origins. No dob for either daughter although one can guess, and John probably had two wives, the second being Martha Warlow, no dates as yet. Daughter Martha REYNISH appears to keep her name throughout the births of her children - their father is William Rees, again Talbenny. All baptism records include both parents names with the maiden name Reynish clearly stated. One daughter of William Rees and Martha Reynish, is Ann b 1794 Talbenny, m 1824 to William Morgan in Dale and she dies 1872 Milford upon Haven. All of William and Martha's children are baptised in Talbenny. They take the surname Rees.
Looking at other records around the time Martha Reynish and William Rees are having babies, it looks more usual for wives to lose their maiden name on the baptism record - any ideas why Martha is named with her maiden name throughout? I am assuming she never actually married
Many thanks

Hi - I am researching DUNN. My Dunns may have come from Lancashire, Yorkshire, or Ireland originally, and there is a connection to Jamaica, borne out by YDNA, with a great number of Dunns in Jamaica descending from probably the 1700s. I will enjoy following your link and in the meantime you may be interested in the Jamaican side of things. 🙂

« on: Saturday 12 April 25 12:31 BST (UK) »
Hi - I have Shiers/Shires who originate in Yorkshire/Lancashire and arrive in Shoreditch, Islington, Clerkenwell, etc., London by 1800. I recall seeing Shears as an alternative spelling to consider for these people and wonder if the final 's' could be mis-read/transcribed as an 'n'? Just a thought, may be. 🙂
