Morris Llangernyw / Llanfairtalhaiarn

[Jeff]

Hi Folks,

Anyone with both the surname and village connection please contact me. Especially if you have an abode connection to Nant Mawr, Llanfairtalhaiarn. And also if you're looking specifically for Lloyd at Nantmawr, Llanfairtalhaiarn.

And gadget - hi!

Geoff.

Hi Geoff

I have Morris connections in Llangernyw although it is not the Morris family of Nant Mawr.

I have an email address of someone doing research into the other Morris family (Evan and Margaret Morris, John and Ann Morris etc.).

Hi Lee,

We have exchanged emails previously on another site (many, many moons ago).

As I recall, we never got a connection - but I'm sure there is one somewhere. 

Yes please - can you connect me with the other person studying the Morris family - those names you mention - typical Welsh choices of the period - why couldn't someone be different and call their Welsh son.....Kev ? 

And not wishing to offend Gadget - why couldn't they call their Welsh daughter.... Chantelle?

Now that would be easy 

Thanks for your reply.

All the best

Hi Lee

You gave me access to your headstone photos a few years ago, and I notice you have been helping others recently with more church records .

I've just received the Clwyd FHS booklets for Llangernyw, and am plodding through them, but I wonder if I can ask for your help with some info.  I did a very short visit there over a year ago to see the village, and made a brief search in Ruthin for info on my Williams ancestors, with a small measure of success.

I assume that people who were baptised with Cefn Coch as their abode, may have been baptised/married/buried in St Digain's Chrch, if it was in the 1700s, as the chapel at Cefn Coch wasn't in existence then.

Hugh Williams (1761-1840) from Llangernyw married Margaret Jones in llandderfel, where they lived and brought up their family.  I know a reasonable amount about them.

Hugh's father was also Hugh Williams (1720-1781?), who married Jane Richard (probably not in Llangernyw).  All the baptisms for their children I have found, show them as from Cefn Coch.

The elder Hugh Williams' parents could have been Ellis Williams and Margaret, but I know no more.  Do you know if the original church records show more than is shown in the Clwyd FHS booklets?

I hope you don't mind my asking, as I have come up against so many brick walls with this family.  Are there any records of the actual Monumental Inscriptions, other than the photos you took of the gravestones, not all of which I can read?

Many thanks
