Be patient while waiting for this page to load!
First a list of those family members who constitute my direct line (highlighted in the main tree). To help you navigate (well, to help me really!) I've linked to each of them from the brief list and have sprinkled links back to the top throughout the page. I've added a few map links in appropriate places and am beginning the process of including photographs in this section of my website. Click on the camera icon.
If you know of anything that links in with this or of any errors, please let me know! I've discovered that genealogy is best when it's a corporate exercise and people freely share their family history information.

I've also linked to Derek and Myra Jones because Derek has given me most of the information and might like to find himself!

Thomas died 1769, Llanfihangel Nant Melan (the spelling on the information
that came to me was Llanfihangel Nant Mel but I am convinced that this is
either a slip or a variant on the village name. Llanfihangel Nant Melan
is very close to Cregrina which features prominently in this list and I
can't find a separate Llanfihangel Nant Mel) married to James Gould occupation: Yeoman Farmer; died 1769, Llanfihangel Nant Melan [To next sibling] [ Click here for a map of the general area or here for a more detailed map and here for an aerial photograph - you can hover over this photograph to see the map overlaid] |

Of the ten children listed here, four had died (curiously there are two daughters listed here called Mary Ann(e) and two called Ann). There is no mention of Sarah in the 1841 census but it's interesting that there is a Sarah of the right age as the wife of Edward Ball of Vron, Cregrina. Is this purely coincidental or had she got married? There are also two servant listed: Marrion (?) Williams, aged 40, and John Lloyd, aged 15. [To next sibling] [Return to top] |

James and Ann emigrated to Wisconsin in 1880 but they do not appear in Cregrina in the 1871 census. Where had they gone? [To next sibling] |

He first farmed at Gwaralt (Gwar-allt) [map aerial photo], near Cregrina, then moved to Brynmillon or Blaenmillon Farm, Aberedw [I can find a Blaenmilo farm about 2 km north of Aberedw - general map detailed map aerial photo] (sometime between 1852 when their son, John, was born at Gwaralt, and 1865 when their seventh child, Thomas, was born at Aberedw). He did well - until he he lost most of his money in a lawsuit. The family then had to leave and went to Glanedw (Glanedw Farm [map close-up aerial photo] near Cregrina, I presume since I can't find a village with that name). This was presumably after 1872 when the eldest daughter, Elizabeth was married in Aberedw Church. A typed family record says Mary died suddenly whilst out milking one morning. The joint headstone in St David's churchyard, Cregrina, gives her date of death as 18 November 1888 and her age as 63 [To next sibling] [Return to top] |

My father, John Watkins, lived with them from the age of about 11 to 16. he told me that Uncle Cecil used to drive an old Daimler but fell in love with a new Ford V8 in the late 1930s or early 1940s so sold it to a local taxi firm. The Ford wouldn't quite fit down the drive so he had a builder take a notch out of the side of the house to get the thing in. He then decided it was awful and tried to get the Daimler back but the taxi man wouldn't sell it. |

1. I'm very grateful to Mike Lucas of Philadelphia for more information on the Ilsleys. James Samuel Ilsley, Cecil Maurice James Ilsley's father, was the postmaster of Hereford until 1908 when he retired. He died shortly afterward and the family moved to Harston, Cambridgeshire from where his widow, Georgina, had come originally. [back] 2. Sydney Cheshire was born on the Cheshire Estate in Wales. Dick and Jessie Watkins farmed east of Lacombe, Alberta were they had the first three children. Times in the late thirties were bad and they lost the farm. After losing the farm they moved about 60 miles north and Dick worked in a coal mine that was owned by Sydney Cheshire. In 1943 the family moved to Camrose Alberta. Because Dick was a miner they would not let him into the military. He worked in a mine for a short period of time. He became a foreman grass seed cleaning plant and remained there until he retired. (This is the seed cleaning plant that supplied most of Europe with grass seed after WWII). He died on 22 January 1979 of heart failure. He had suffered with a bad heart for a number of years and went quietly at breakfast time on the 22 of January. [back] |
