Help needed please.
My family are from Wales and i have got copies from my Auntie. They are in Welsh so i got my mum to translate.

I have a Jane LLoyd who apparently married a William LLoyd. i assumed that Lloyd for Jane was her married name.

Then further on there is a John Lloyd who is Jane's Brother, so is Lloyd Janes maiden name as well as her married name

It does sound as if there was a Lloyd marrying a Lloyd.

Was this after 1837?
Maybe we could help to check on the online sites.

Sorry all i have is there death dates. On the death page of the bible it said dear loved mother Jane LLoyd and then Dear loved father William Lloyd.

Jane died in 1894 at 65 years old i have her details and William died 1904 at 68 years old.

I have looked for jane lloyd and william lloyd and i got nothing unless i was not looking good enough

In which county in Wales were they living?

Have you found them in a census?
Maybe we can work back and find Jane with a LLOYD family in 1841.

I know they are buried in a place called Llanfrothen near ffestiniog, but this could be them.


my great grandmother who had the bible was margaret Jones, i thought before the translation that Jane was a Jones, see why i am confused

Is it stated as a fact that John Lloyd is Jane's brother?

Could he be John Lloyd JONES?

Difficult with these Welsh surnames, isn't it?
I have Herefordshire JONES who moved to Wales.....as if there weren't enough there already !

No i am just doing it now, i have narrowed it down to the year of 1829 to when Jane was born

This looks like them in 1891.

As the couple were from Merionethshire, it is unlikely that they married in Pembroke.

I have looked on ancestry an nothing in births for jane lloyd or jane jones born in 1829

Gwyn in Kent

Gwyn in Kent Report 5 Oct 2007 09:27

No she won't feature in the normal lists of bmd lists because she was born before civil registration started in 1837.

Maybe she will be in the Llanfrothen area in 1841 census....with her parents.

Gwyn where do you get the 1891 census please

Gwyneth

Gwyneth Report 5 Oct 2007 09:39

Yes it is John Lloyd he died at about 25 years of age.

Gwyn in Kent Report 5 Oct 2007 09:41

It is on Ancestry....Do you have a subscription?

I think we are looking for a marriage with a Ffestiniog registration....That covers the parish where Jane was born....and is buried...so is the most likely area for the wedding.

When was the eldest child born? Perhaps we can find the most likely timescale.


There are these Janes born about the right time showing on the 1841 census in Llanfrothen......


Jane Edward abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Edward abt 1827 Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane J Evan abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Humphrey abt 1830 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Rees abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Rowland abt 1827 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane Thomas abt 1828 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

Jane William abt 1830 Merionethshire, Wales Llanfrothen Merionethshire

I had a look at the 1881 census and the family had a Laura.

I wonder if this is her birth registration and the middle name could be a clue to her mother's maiden name?


Births Dec 1872
