John & Jane THOMAS

[osprey]

not exactly an unusual occupation in the area, plenty of mariners around.

There are no birth records prior to civil registration, only baptisms.  Most parish baptisms from the period exist, but as one or other of them could them be non-conformist, it's unlikely that a parish baptism would exist, parish baptisms being Church of England at the time. Cardigan St Mary baptisms are online, but no sign of one for John or Jane, & none for their children.

Have you had a look for the fathers on the Welsh mariners site? There are entries for each name that could fit.

I saw a couple that would fit Evan THOMAS. They were all Trinity house requests. That's why I thought if I can find birth certs I could narrow it down as the requests included the wife's name.

I didn't have time to look for William last night as it got too late.

Aberaeron doesn't appear as that on early census records. Think it's covered by Llanddewi Aberarth & Henfynyw. 

I found a reference that might possibly be David DAVIES baptism. As his birth should be about 1836, it might be correct as it was for Jan 1837 in Llanddewi Brefi, father was John. Is it possible that's one of the parishes that became known as Aberaeron on the later records?

No

 Llanddewi Brefi and LLanddewi Aberarth are two different places.

Part of Aberaeron is in the parish of Henfynyw and the other in the parish of LLanddewi Aberarth.

There is an Alban Square in Aberaeron and an Albert Street.

Thanks. I've hit a brick wall with trying to find any further details about him or his parents and thought it was a long shot
