Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: birth certificate Gwellian Jenkins
« on: Sunday 27 June 10 11:00 BST (UK)  »
Hi Arran Roots.
Had a break through,went into  Melbourne to our Genealogy Centre, a gentleman was there that came from Wales ,took one look at Tatayl Ford,and
said it was "Ystalyfera"so it was my lucky day.
 1851 Census. Jenkins,John  Head  Married 41 b 1810 parish relief Gwynfe
Jenkins,Mary Wife Married 53 B 1798. Gwynfe Glamorganshire Parish relief

Jenkins,Gwenllian Daughter 8 B 1843 Parish relief. Ystrad Brecknockshire.

I followed the Census ,her father must have died just before gwenllian came to Australia.Her mother,s name was Mary Ann so that is where the Ann came from.a very happy Estella.Thank you.

Hi hanes Teulu,Sorry, I have been out of action for a while.You asked where I got the info from on Gwenllian Jenkins, I got in touch with the South Australian Library and they assisted me.
The info comes from www.ancestry.com and also their shipping documents.

Hi Arranroots.
Sorry I have taken so long to reply,but I have been out of commission ,due to family problems, thank you for still helping me in my search I will try for a birth certificate for Gwenllian the one that  gives Breconshire ,Mid Glamorgan,&Merthyr Rydfil.and hope for the best.
I,m sure if our rellies could have looked into the future they would have left us more info.or told us to mind our own business.

Hi Arronroots,
Thank you again I am just about giving up hope on finding anything on Gwenllian,s birth.
I was thinking that whoever filled  in the details ,mayhave  misunderstood the place name and wrote it as it sounded to her, this has happened to other documents I have got.
Is there such a place as tataly Ford?.
Perhaps the one you mentioned at Landore may be the one.
Here,s hoping your patience lasts for me.

Hi Prue and all who have helped me,
had a reply from S.A. Library, Info was that Gwenllian left from Plymouth on the 10th jan 1863, arrived in Port Adelaide 19th April 1863.She was selected by Jeffrey Watkins Agent ,paid 10 shillings to come, she was a domestic servant.Reg No was D3186 Glamorgan.
Could be Gwenllian born between Oct and Dec. Breconshire Mid Glam. Dist. Merthur Rydfil Volume 26 Page377.
As she travelled on her own they think she may have come out to make a new life for herself,and she may never have known her father .
Many thanks for all your help
Estella

Hi Arronroots.
I messaged the South Australian Library where they have a department that look up enquiries about immigrants.
Gwenllian Jenkins left from Plymouth on 10th Jan 1863 on the Mary Shepherd arrived in Port Adelaide 19th April 1863, domestic servant and paid 10 shillings was selected by agent Jeffrey watkins reg.no of Gwenllian was D3186 glamorgan,could be Gwenllin born between Oct and dec 1843 Breconshire Mid Glam Dist.Merthur Rydfil. Volume 26 Page 377.
They seem to think as she travelled alone,it was to try for a new start in life and that her father could be unknown.
 Regards   Estella

Thank you all for the information, yes I have the death certificate but it only states she came from Swansea Wales.
If I can get info on her immigration record that most likeky would help.
but back then they might not have kept so good records, but I will try,I will have to send to England for that ?
thank you all
Estella.

Hi Jenn and Cando,
It dosen ,t look as if I am going to have any luck find info. on Gwenllian,s background.
I will get the birth of  Winifred she died not long after birth.
Is it possible when they wrote up all the information from the old documents, that the marriage could have been overlooked,I suppose the place they keep old information would  still have the original documentation.
(also they may never have married)
I thought it might have stated where they lived in Wales.
Thank you both very much for all your help.
regards Estella :'(
