Hi David,

My G/Grandfather Evan Rees was born in Llangyfelach in (approx) 1838. He married Margaret Davies in Llangyfelach in 1859, and on the 1881 Census for Wales they are living at 18 Welcome Street, Swansea with their 7 children:

Evan Rees     42yrs Occupation: Copperman.
Margaret Rees 43yrs

John Rees    22yrs
Sarah Ann Rees 19yrs
Margaret Rees 14yrs
George Rees    13yrs
Elizabeth Rees    9yrs
Selina Rees    4yrs
William Rees    2yrs.

The Margaret Rees, aged 14yrs on the 1881 Census was my Grandmother. I know that Elizabeth and Sarah Ann emmigrated to the USA, but I don't know what happened to the rest of them.

I've found Evan Rees's parents, (Evan and Anne Rees) on the 1841 Census for Wales, & they both seem to have come from Llangyfelach too. I can't see any links to Llangynwyd, but who knows?

Best Wishes,
Romilly.




Oh, so close yet no match.  I also have a Sarah Ann Rees born about June 1859 but I am quite certain her parents were Thomas and Ann, not your Evan and Margaret.  So, it looks like there isn't a match.  Thanks very much for responding and best wishes for a successful search.

Hi Debjenks,

I can't help I'm afraid...but I'm after Rees's in that Parish if anyone is able to help.

Best Wishes, Romilly.

Romilly,
I have Rees family in Llangynwyd dating back to 1841.  I have my ggf Joseph Ree marrying Elizabeth Lewis at the parish church there on November 12, 1861.  Joseph was born 1841 in Walwyn's Castle in Pembrokeshire(?).  Joseph's parents are buried in the parish church yard in Llangynwyd.  Any connection?

Hi Cas, ;)

I have Baptisms, 1838 - 1930.  So not very early I am afraid.  Let me know if I can help.

Elin



Elin,
May I ask a favor?  I'm looking for baptism of William Lewis, b. about 1836 in Llangyfelach.  Parents were William Lewis and Hannah Owen.  Perhaps William wasn't baptised until 1838??  Let's hope!

Thanks in advance,
David

hi, i believe we may have a connection, my relation elizabeth williams born 1841 married William Lewis b 1836 llangyfelach, they had 8 children. i am willing to share any info i have with you.
william lewis was a coalminer.

It is possible that we have a connection but I have no other data on William Lewis (b. abt.1836 Llangyfelach) that would confirm this.  Is your William Lewis the son of William Lewis/(b. abt. 1816) and Hannah Owen? 
i dont know william's parents i am related to his wife elizabeth
Sorry for the delay in responding.  Yes, I'd like to know more about your Elizabeth .  Last name?  Location?  I have no way of verifying your Elizabeth and William Lewis (b. abt. 1836, Llangyfelach) are relations to me but perhpas with your data I can confirm.  With so many common names I'd like to make certain we're on the right track. 
 Thanks in advance.

Yes, I have William Lewis on the 1841 census (fiche #17-023-023)

The only data I have on Hannah Owen is her daughter's (Elizabeth's) birth certificate.  Elizabeth was born September 24, 1841 in Llangyfelach and died in the US (Pennsylvania) June 26 1895.  I'm guessing Hannah was born between 1816 and 1820 or so.  
Elizabeth married Joseph Rees November 12, 1861 at the parish church in Llangynwyd.

Hi everyone...I'm new here so please bear with me.  I have a William Lewis (b. about 1816) and Hanna Owen who married April 12, 1834 in Llangfelach.  They had children Hanna, William, Mary, Elizabeth, Jane, John and Ann.
Elizabeth is my great-grandmother. 
Would like to share data with others!

David
