Cardiganshire / Re: Reverend Thomas Davies Treorchy ca1843-1910
« on: Tuesday 26 June 18 23:29 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Thanks for getting in touch. To tell the truth I've packed in family history research a couple of months ago, but I'm happy to tell you what I know. I'm not related directly to Thomas Davies and his wife who have a gravestone in Bunhill Fields but their daughter Anne married William Owen Williams 1826-1869 who was a half brother of my great grandfather Robert Williams 1834-1897. The Thomas Davies who died in 1858 was a son of Thomas Davies from a previous marriage to an Ann and the Thomas Davies who died in 1858 was born in Llanbadarn Fawr Cardiganshire in 1816, The Thomas Davies who died in 1858 was the father of Reverend Thomas Davies Treorchy 1842-1910.

I have copy of the death certificate for Jane Davies. She died on 14 April 1851 at 53 Old Street Finsbury. I was not sure of the death date for Thomas Davies but the photo of the gravestone at Bunhill Fields points to April 1852.

Reverend Thomas Davies Treorchy was the executor of the will of David Davies 1836-1890 a son of Thomas and Jane Davies who have a gravestone in Bunhill Fields.

I have some more information on this family which I cannot put my hand to right now but you can e mail me on d.dwroberts@btinternet.com if you want more information.

I'm not sure where Thomas Davies, cow keeper who was in Fashion Street, Bermondsey in ca. 1862 fits in.

regards

Good Afternoon to you Graham

Yes, please bid for the letter with the stipulation that you mention.

Are you related to Reverend Thomas Davies? I'm not but a relative of his (an aunt) married into my family. I'm in touch with two descedants of that aunt and I keep them up to date with anything I find on the Davies side.

Let me know the costs involved if you're successful.

regards

David

Merionethshire / Re: Help required for death/burial for Ann Jones (nee Owen) & husband William Jones
« on: Friday 20 October 17 12:24 BST (UK)  »
I have located two of the daughters in the 1939 register. Laura Annie is in Merionethshire with some of her children having married and lived in Birmingham. Sydney Catherine is married and living in Birmingham. I cannot definitely identify either William Jones or Ann Owen in the 1939 register. There is another daughter, Jane Ellen Jones living in the Deudraeth district which may fit. She is married to a Richard Jones and living with them is a widower William Jones born in 1863. However some things need to fall into place for Jane Ellen and William to be the correct people.

I'm sorry I can't help. I'm not related to William Prichard 1638-1718 of Dolwyddelan.

United States of America / Re: James Hayden Morris, Professor of Music, Mount Vernon, Westchester, New York

I'd like to thank both of you for all the information that you've uncovered about James Hayden Morris. It's been invaluable. I'm not related to him and I'm doing the research on behalf of  friend of mine who is interested in Welsh people who emigrated to America. As is quoted in the Pittsburgh Druid, James Hayden Morris was part of a talented family, his uncle Morris Williams (Nicander) and great uncle Peter Jones (Pedr Fardd) were two of the foremost poets in Wales in the 19th century.

Thanks again.

United States of America / James Hayden Morris, Professor of Music, Mount Vernon, Westchester, New York

I would like to find the date of death and burial of James Hayden (sometimes) Haydn Morris. He was born James Morris in 1859 to Ebenezer and Ann Morris in Llanbedrog a village in the old county of Caernarfon (Gwynedd) in North Wales. He was talented musically; and his family moved to Felinheli between Caernarfon and Bangor; he was taught by William Hayden the organist at Christ Church in Caernarfon and ‘professor of music’. This is where James picked up the middle name Hayden.
In 1881 he emigrated to America settling in New York State. He earned his living as an organist and music teacher. In 1884 he married Henrietta Dietz and they had two children, Arthur 1884 and Sarah 1888. Henrietta was alive in 1890 but by 1900 James Hayden Morris was living in Mount Vernon, Westchester County; widowed with both of his children. By 1910 he was still at Mount Vernon; he had married Ada Hudson in 1904 and his daughter Sarah was still at home.
The last mention I have of James is newspaper report in September 1919. In the 1920 census Ada is living in Mount Vernon but is recorded as married; there is no sign of James. In the 1930 Ada is at Mount Vernon and was widowed so I assume that James Hayden Morris died between 1920 and 1930. He travelled quite a bit around the North Eastern States, whilst he followed his musical career.

Sussex / Re: John Williams Hughes 1878-1949

I have suggested to my relatives who are more closely related to John Williams Hughes than me to purchase the will of John Williams Hughes and the death certificates for him and his wife.
I have contacted the Sussex Archives in Brighton and they have copies of local newspapers that may have obituaries or funeral reports for John Williams Hughes and his wife. I live just outside Pwllheli which is in Gwynedd North Wales so a visit to Brighton is not really on! Their research fees are a bit steep for me to be honest but I have passed the information to my relatives. So the ball is in their court.

Thanks you so much for the tip about the 1939 register. I've picked out the 1939 register on findmypast.

Sussex / John Williams Hughes 1878-1949
« on: Sunday 06 November 16 09:42 GMT (UK)  »
John Williams Hughes was born on March 29 1878 on a farm called Glyn in Llanystumdwy Parish, Caernarvonshire. I am distantly related to him on his mother's side. He married Elizabeth Mary Jones (born ca 1885 in Cardiganshire) in Llanilar Parish Church, Cardiganshire in 1910. They were living in Aberystwyth Cardiganshire in the 1911 and John Williams Hughes was a bank cashier.

John Williams Hughes died in Pinehurst, Mayfield Lane, Wadhurst, Sussex on February 16 1949 according to the probate calendar and his wife Elizabeth Mary died in Q2 1944 in the Uckfield Register District. The ages at death of both of them match their birth years.

I would be grateful if anyone has any information on these two, for instance where they may be buried. I'm unsure whether they had any children.
