Link to Kyffin family Eglwysbach COMPLETED

I have the facility to order a death certificate but can't see how I go about ordering a marriage cert?

Hi Eli G

You would order a marriage certificate in exactly the same way as a death certificate.  Either from the registrar of the district where the marriage took place or from the GRO using their online ordering system.  In either case you will need the reference numbers which were posted earlier in the thread in reply #1.

Many thanks for the info.  I have order the marriage certificate, and fingers-crossed, I will gain some new information.

I have ordered three marriage certs. for Evan and Catherine Jones from the GRO and each time they have not issued one, as the bride's name in the reference given was not Catherine. I think the best way forward is to therefore order them from the Registrar of the district as suggested.  How do I go about finding the contact details of the registrar - would it be through Conwy County Council?

This is a very useful list; I think you will find what you need under Conwy.

Just noticed your posting as I was looking for my family links to the area.

Found these entries in the Caerhun Parish Registers:-

1714  July 17  Marriage

JOHN KYFFIN of Eglwysfach  m GRACE MORRIS otp Wern

BAPTISMS

1715 May 4   MARY   to John & Grace Maurice Wern
1717 May 5  OWEN  to John  & Mary Maurice  Wern
1718 Mar 8   JANE    to John & Grace

BURIALS

1762 Jan 26   OWEN   Yeoman Ty- Newydd


I suspect that they are all linked to your family, but a generation or two before those who you have named.
John from Eglwysfach must have a link.

No other Kyffins are mentioned in the Caerhun or Llangelynnin registers.

Hope this is of interest

Hello Eli g
I can't help with " recent" connections to your grand parents but I do have a Kyffin family tree which includes William Kyffin his son Thomas Kyffin, married to Mary Davies died 1655. This could be a connection to your father's work back in the 60's

This family tree was produced by Dave Hill in Canada, he forwarded a copy to me a few years ago. If you can make the connection to William, Thomas(of Maenan, llanrwst) and Mary Davies then Dave's linage chart takes us back another 34 (thirty four) generations.

Obviously this is a large file, but if you wish I will try and send a copy to you off list.

Regards Kyffin Roberts

Hello Kyffin
Thanks for your interest in my quest. I have a Kyffin Maenan family tree which my father obtained from the University of Wales Bangor in the 60s,  It shows William Kyffin had an natural son Thomas, by Mary Davies which is clearly the information you have on your Kyffin family tree. This one goes back to 1230. My father was insistant that our link was through this union but the research he did was lost. Thomas and Mary had a son called George Kyffin who went to St John's College, Cambridge and was Rector of Llandddoget and Vicar at Eglwysbach.  Unfortunately, the chart I have then follows Richard Kyffin not George. I need to find out if George had any children and work my way to us that way. The family tree you mentioned sounds really interesting and I would appreciate if you could send me a copy. Today I ordered a copy of the death certificate of Williams Kyffin Jones father of Evan - perhaps something will come of that!!

Thanks for the information - Mary, Owen and Jane are all family names so the likelihood is the people listed are linked and may be part of the missing link!!
