Snell Family bible entry

[osprey]

the Abergavenny registered marriage is correct for one taking place in Bedwellty at that time

Think you'll need the marriage cert to further back on Ann's side. There are baptisms for 2 different Ann Jones in St Martin's Eglwysilan on 4/5/1835, if indeed she was baptised there. Always the possibility her family could be non-conformist at this time in Wales.

William's baptism is transcribed here

Aw thank you Carole, and yes, looking at the handwriting again, James 1867 makes sense, and gave Ann a bit of space too!

I have just followed your baptism link - very interesting!!! Did my Great great grandfather have a twin sister called Sarah?..........and a brother called Thomas!!

[osprey]

not a twin, they were baptised the same day, not born the same day or even in the same county according to the 1841 census

Sorry for the delay in responding, Osprey, but that you very much for these census entries.

I had no idea that part of the Salathiel/Snell family came from Oxford & Bloomsbury. I think I have been looking for some of the family in the wrong counties, so this gives me something further to work on.

Is anybody able to enlighten me as to the whereabouts of Llanhennock, please?

Many thanks for your help.
Sue

I have just found this:
Llanhennock (Welsh: Llanhenwg) is a village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, United Kingdom.

Llanhennock is located two miles north east of Caerleon and five miles south west of Usk.

Llanhennock is situated not far from the River Usk and is also close to Cwmbran [1].
 
and the family may have moved there after the death of James. Perhaps Goldenye Gate was a residence attached to his job as a turnpike keeper. SCH2

Might be shear coincidence but there was a family called Snell and Salathiel living in my old home town , next street to each other in |Ystradyfodwg, (Rhondda)did they move there ??

Hi Heddwch,

Wow, no this is NOT a coincidence!

My Grandfather was Trevor Salathiel and he had siblings Gwyneth & David Mervyn (k.a.Mervyn). Their parents were Mary Snell & David Thomas Salathiel & I think there had been another brother called Emlyn, who died. Their births were all registered Pontypridd. D.T. was quite a local personality and I believe he was the Mayor at one time and worked for Lloyd George. Gwyneth married Idris Williams and they stayed in Wales for quite a long time as Idris became  Headmaster of the village school in Porthcawl. Trevor married Adeline Haines in 1927, by which time they were living in London and one of their 2 daughters was my mother, Olwen, who was evacuated back down to Porthcawl during the 2nd World War, to stay with her Aunt & Uncle Idris.

Since my mother passed away in June I have found all sorts of old photographs and books belonging to my Great Grandparents so I have a lot to look through.

Do you have any recollection of names? Dates etc.

I am feeling very excited at the thought that somebody may have actually met a Snell or a Salathiel!! I will have a look and see if I can find any addresses from my census records.

Thanks again
Sue

David Thomas Salathiel was born in 1872, registartion District Pontypridd, sub-district Ystradyfodwg and his parents, Rachel (nee Edwards) & Thomas, a colliery manager lived at Gilli Cottage Ystradyffodwg.
