John JONES, Cadoxton juxta Neath

[yattonharry]

Just chatting to my husband about this problem. Do you think it possible that Morgan was the illegitimate child of Gwenllian Curtis and that John Jones married her soon after Morgan's birth? Morgan may have been the name of Morgan's father?  No, that is incorrect - that Gwenllian Curtis had married a Morgan and then married John Jones?

Would it be possible to check Morgan's birth at all please?

I believe it was the IGI but I have a Gwenllian Curtis b/bpt 1805 and Catherine Curtis b/bpt 1813 daus of Hugh Curtis.

Thanks so much for what you have done for me so far.  It is much appreciated.

yattonharry,
if you send me your e.mail via private message will send images of both marriage records.

Re William Curtis, witness, the 1841 Census (HO107 1421 10/6 4) has

William Curtis, 60, Farmer
Alice Curtis, 72,
Watkin Jones, 35, Boatman
Address Pentreclwyda, Cadoxton, Neath Middle, all born Glamorgan.

Will check further for Morgan's birth and possible earlier marriage for Gwenllian.

regards

I just wish to thank you very much hanes teulu for all your information, so kindly given. 

I have now been able to research myself at Neath and Swansea and have the Birth Certificate of Mary as well as her Baptism.  I have the position on a map of Bryrhug or rhig and of other adresses. 

Also I have now accepted that there was an error on the PR regarding Gwenllian Curtis marriage to John Jones.

Just thank you.

yatonbarry, as an xBarrian i wonder if you could help me, i noticed you know quite a bit about cadoxton. I was raised at number 9 brock street my family were Cradock (Creddy) and Katherine Price nee Rafferty. They were settled Gypsies that lived in Williams cottage.
I am trying to find out the history of our cottage and any info on my family, also any photos of the cottage and family.
Thank You

Sorry for delay, but I haven't seen you message until now.  I am talking about Cadoxton Juxta Neath and not Cadoxton Juxta Barry.

I will ask my cousin about the picture though.

I know I just totally forgot all about it what with other family commitments and all, its only been the last couple of days that I've started looking into the family tree again, so I do apologise to those for not responding a lot earlier.

Hello Helen, Yes that marriage of William Curtis to Catherine Davies has been noted and I believe that Catherine and Gwenllian are sisters. This is off top of my head but will check further.  So sorry not to have got back before now, but at ths time I was in hospital and if your message came I didn't see it at all. Just been browsing and came across yours and hanes teulu's messages. Apologies.
Regards Jill
