Jenkins?

[ashtayl04]

I was wondering if i could get some help, i understand Jenkins is a common surname in the monmouthshire area, let alone wales, i’ve struggled to explore this branch of my tree,

Person in question is Mary Jenkins, B.1829/1830 Blaenavon (1861 census) and Trevethin on the census’s afterwards

On the 5th November 1849 in Aberystruth Monmouthshire, Wales she married Samuel Thomas a Native of Bristol, the marriage was witnessed by Joseph Jenkins & Thomas Jenkins, her Father was Thomas Jenkins a haulier

She had children
Esther 1847
Caroline 1850
Elizabeth 1853
Sarah 1856
Isabella 1858
Samuel 1862
Mary 1866
Thomas 1868
Joseph 1869
Hannah Maria 1872

Ultimately i’d like to find her parents and her siblings

She has links to the Garndiffiath/Abersychan/Trevethin area after marriage

Many Thanks
Ashton

I’ve had a rough look this morning, can’t seem to find any record of Elizabeth and Thomas After 1841

Found two 1851 census’s with the name Thomas Jenkins jnr and the Birth Year or around it however they are both lodging at other residences, can’t find Mary at the moment in 1851 either,

The Joseph mentioned in Mary’s Marriage suggests there were other siblings, i’m going to try find they’re Parish marriage regs, i’m thinking Thomas Snr & Elizabeth both died in the 1840s 🤔 Mary b.1828/1830 was a fairly late child to they’re marriage,

They’re is a 1851 census for
Thomas Jenkins Widow born 1800 Birth Location~ Unknown

Children ~
Mary
William
Eliza
Jane
Thomas
Lodger ~ henry farmer

But than the birth year for Thomas and Jane doesn’t add up so i think that’s not likely

Possible Marriage For Joseph C.1820 in Aberystruth 9th Jan 1841

Joseph Jenkins - B - Haulier - Coalbrookvale Works - Thomas Jenkins Haulier

Harriet Jenkins - W - Coalbrookvale Works - John Phillips - Collier

This would make sense on why Joseph’s not in the 1841 census with his parents and Mary & Thomas

Witnessed by: David Davies & Mary James

Birth dates aren’t matching on further census’s for above joseph and harriet
