Llansilin Parish Record Lookup - Wood(s)

[king otg]

Hi Gadget,

How do you do that? I mean quote another page from elsewhere on Rootschat. I took a brief look at the other topic (ROBERTS) but it did not seem to go anywhere. I  like to see specific dates and places because it gives others a means of becoming involved.

As I understand it this particular page is a 'look up' topic and I see you have been checking things out, and making some useful suggestions.

I will soon be going to Wales to do my look ups but the WOODs will have to share time with other important names. Unfortunately I cannot go there very often so if I forget something it will be quite a wait before the next visit.

I think I am done here.

Best wishes

Hi k otg

To copy a url link, all you need do is highlight the address that shows in the address bar of your browser when you are on the particular page and copy it (Ctrl + C ) . Then you can paste it into a message by using  Ctrl+V.

I've done a screenshot of the address showing while I've typed this reply and attached it (see below).

I've become interested in the Woods and other Welsh Roma families over the last few years because my ancestors also came from those parts and I was born there. It's all fascinating  and reminds me of my childhood and growing up in North Wales. When I go back there now things have changed so much.

I do hope you have an enjoyable and productive stay there this time and can find the baptism of Godfrey Wood for Earle. 

Are you going to the Nat Libary at Aberysywyth?

Regards

Boswell & King otg,

Re: Reply #19 & #25.
Please send me what info you have on Godfrey & Elijah's
birth/baptism date & place.  They are direct ancestors of family members.
Thanks much.

Earle

Hi Earle,

Information recently obtained in Wales:

MER Llanaber baptised 4 June 1837 Godfrey s/o Jeremi/Elinor JONES, Strangers

CRM Llanelly St Elli baptised 13 December 1840 Elijah s/o Jeremiah/Elinor JONES, Harper of Alogate

Llanaber is the place he mentioned to me earlier (see previous replies) although he needed to check the primary source to ensure nothing that might embarrass you appeared in the baptismal record before posting. Hence the subterfuge.

Hello Boswell37 & King otg,

What wonderful information - I have been searching for such a very long time.
I want to thank you and the boss man for all your help.  There are many family members who will be delighted.
Do you think this Jeremiah is the son of Thomas or Jeremiah (Jerry Bach Gogerddan) or someone else?
Elijah's descendants, through daughter Jane Elizabeth Davies, now reach England, Channel Isles, USA and Australia.
Ever so pleased with the info - thanks again.

Earle

Hi Earle,

If I am going to contribute anything else from my store of information on Gipsy Genealogy, which is better than anybody else's in the whole wide world, I am not going to tolerate being censored.

This site is just too aggressive and nasty for the likes of me.

Good luck with your research.

Hi Kingotg

I'm sorry you feel that way but Rootschat is for generosity and sharing - not self-promotion and gathering other people's family records to expand your own.

Feel free to stay and help but expect to have rudeness and unkindness ruthlessly removed.

Hi All
I have been reading this with interest. I wondered if  anybody knew anything about Jeremiah Wood Jones son of Jerry Bach, its just that I know My GG Grandfather was a Jeremiah Jones who was a Harpist in Abergavenny. I know that his father was a Jeremiah Jones, Harpist. I know that Jeremiah Wood Jones had brothers called Theophilus and John and my GG Grandfather called his son Theophilus John. (Or the one son I know about) What I have been told by my grandmother and her sisters was that he had cousins who played for for Queen Victoria.
I have researched the Woods and know that Jerry Bach used the name Jones for official purposes, and comes up as Jones on the 1841 and 1851 census, I am sure I also have his death certificate which is under the name Jones. Although on the burial register he is buried as a Wood.
We had no idea of any gypsy link, but my G Aunt left me some books by George Borrow when she died, and I think maybe she knew.
I would love to know for sure.
