Many thanks for the infor - not sure whether there is a connection yet as the Samuel Gainey I am trying to trace the information is all a bit 'patchy' and I need something definate to link up information and then disregard some information which is proably red-herrings.

I have found a Samuel Gainey on the Welsh Mariners site which could be my Samuel Gainey, so don't know which one is correct ??


Samuel Gainey -Matster of the "Mary of Newport" in 1845.  Samuel's DOB registered as 1815, place of birth Newport.

Any way thanks for your bit of information - it may prove very handy!

I am looking for ANY information on a Samuel Gainey who was born approx 1810 -1815.  Census records suggest born in Bedwelty.  Also I have found details of a Samuel Gainey in the Welsh Mariners index giving year of birth 1815 born in Newport.  If anyone could provide any info on this ancestor I would be VERY grateful.

I also have his occuption listed (on his son's marriage certificate) as a Pilot, but this may be something to do with the Bristol Channel Pilots maybe???

Thanks for that information - that seems to be the couple I am looking for.

You are great 

Tracey

Spouse's name according to birth record of daughter is Susan WILLIAMS,
so I don't think these are right.

I have obtained a birth certificate for one of Samuel's daughters 1841 which confirms mother's name was Susan Williams.

I have no further details of Susan Williams, or where she was born, so it may be possible that her parish was not within Newport, so it could be a long shot that I actually find this marriage.

Hi

I am looking for parish records as follows for Samuel Gainey:

 marriage to Susan Williams (possibly around 1835-37 St Woolas ??)
 birth/christening (all I know is birth place stated on 1851 census is listed as Newport)

Many thanks,
Tracey
