Hi Ffiongwyn,

Thank you very much for your email, I do have most of my researched mapped out, but so far have not put that much on line. But would be very willing to share my research with you.

The photograph is of my 2 x Great Grandfather Thomas Matthias, but sadly not related to Davies/Barlow/Beck line

Thank You Ffiongwyn,

We seemed to have followed each others footsteps with our research  :)

My branch of the Beck family gets a little bit complicated, due to cousin marriages.

Robert Beck & (Jane Little) are my 3 x great grandparents
&
Thomas Beck (Roberts Brother) & Jane Little (Same Jane as above) are my 4 x great grandparents

All very confusing  :), plus not much variation in Christian names down the generations.

Thanks Ffiongwyn.

Robert Beck 1799 - 1857 (Salies Great Grandfather) was Captain of the Point of Ayr Lifeboat.

His death certificate states we was
'Accidentally drown by the upsetting of the Point Of Air Lifebooat'
He died in January 1857 but his body wasn't washed ashore until the March of the same year. He is buried in St Bridgets Churchyard, West Kirby.

He married Jane Beck (His brother Thomas's widow) her maiden name was Jane Little, on 13th March 1822 at St Peters Parish Church, Liverpool.

Hi Again Ffiongwyn,

Not sure if Sarah had 10 siblings or if there were 10 children in total ? I have,

Margaret Susannah ca 1874  - 1955
Ann ca 1877
Jane ca 1879
Mary ca 1881 - 1928
Sarah Emily (Sallie) 1883 - 1978
Eva 1886 - 1910
Amelia 1888 - 1919 (Sallie looked after her son Philip, after Amelia's death, sadly Philip died in 1921, and is buried in Bethesda Cemetery)
Annie ca 1893 - 1910
David John 1894 -
Elizabeth 1897 - 1932

Would be very grateful if you could add any additional info on any of the above,

Hope this helps  :)

Hi Ffiongwyn & DCB,

Thank you both for taking the time to reply to my request.

As you can see I initially posted my message back in September 2017, and as a result I have since furthered my family history research and located their grave at Mynwent Capel Bethesda in Blaenau Ffestiniog, along with the grave of their children buried in 1921. Together with their said obituaries but I am most grateful to you both for your help.

Perhaps I can explain how I'm connected to your Great Grandparents Ffiongwyn.

Sarah Emily Williams (Nee Davies) 1883 - 1878 was a first cousin to my grandmother Dora Barlow 1901 - 1993.

Sallie's (as my grandmother called Sarah) father John Davies (of Caerwys, Flintshire)ca 1852 - 1929 and Dora's mother Elizabeth Davies 1860 - 1914 were siblings. The children of David Davies & Elizabeth Beck.

Hope this explains my connections

Hi Again barryd,

Many thanks for this.

Sadly it does not however have what I'm looking for, as I mentioned in my original post I'm after a marriage that took place in Bulawayo in February 1914.

South Africa / Re: Annie Sophia Congdon - Bulawayo Marriage

Many thanks to Milliepede, Kloumann, rosie99 & barryd  for both your research and your kind suggestions.

I had seen the marriage in 1909 in Poplar, London but as you have noted it gives a different father, my Annie Sophia's father was definitely Thomas Waller. Her mother Fanny dies in the March Qtr 1949 aged 94 yrs.

I still think the death notice I've located in 1957 is my Annie Sophia Congdon (Waller), if only there were a way to obtain a copy of the original document from 1914 in Bulawayo ???

Once again many thanks for all your help.... it is appreciated

South Africa / Annie Sophia Congdon - Bulawayo Marriage
« on: Tuesday 10 March 20 20:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,

I'm hoping that someone with more knowledge of research in Bulawayo, might be able to help me.

I've found a death notice on Family search for the above Annie Sophia Congdon 1886 - 1957. Annie or Sophia as she was known in the family was born in London, England. If my research is correct she was the daughter of a Thomas & Fanny WALLER. (Nee Peckover)

The death notice which I've located doesn't list her parents names, they are just recorded as deceased. (So I cant be 100% certain this is my actual Waller relation) It does however give a marriage place & date. Bulawayo February 1914. (The Annie Sophia's who's death I've found, married an Arthur Congdon) So I'm just wondering how do I go about obtaining a copy of their marriage, is there a national index available ?... online perhaps ?

Any help would be very much appreciated,

Regards - Rowlandson

Hi Judith,
This is great thank you. Didn't expect to find so much available on line ... but it obviously helps if you know where to look  ;D
