The Cefn Mably Mystery

When I add a relative to my tree, I automatically attempt to collect Birth, Marriage, Death and Census info about them.  Sometimes it is unsuccessful and I hit a dead end other times the hours I put in searching for individuals is worth every minute.

Recently, I added The Man’s great great grandfather’s cousin, Henry George KELLY.

Henry was born in Coedkernew, Newport in 1857.  His parents were Henry KELLY and Jane Steel PARSONS.  He grew up a rather wealthy Farmer’s son.  His father was the farmer of Penylan Farm, Bassaleg.

After his marriage to Jane JONES in the September quarter of 1889 aged 32, Henry and Jane lived with Jane’s parents, William and Cecilia.
The couple had 3 children, William Henry around 1890, Violet May around 1891 and Frederick George around 1893.

The real jewel in the crown information was provided in the 1901 census and is something I’m determined to find out more about over the coming weeks.
Sometime before the 1901 census, Henry and Jane took ownership of the Cefn Mably Arms in Michaelstone Y Vedw.  His occupation is stated as Publican and Farmer.

In 1911, Henry was still the Landlord of the Cefn Mably Arms.

I know little about the family’s time at the Cefn Mably Arms except that Henry died in 1924 and Jane died in 1931.

In an attempt to find out more about the family I contacted the current owners of the Cefn Mably Arms.  I received a fantastic response and an offer to go along and take copies of what information they have.  Something I’m surely going to be taking them up on.
The most fascinating thing to come out of the conversation was a copy of the back of their menu.  It contained a photograph believed to date from the 50’s.  I examined every tiny part of the photograph and realised it can’t date from the 50’s because of the attire the people were wearing.
The photograph was of the pub itself and outside standing by the door was a man and a woman.  Sitting on a bench were 2 older men, 2 teenage boys and a teenage girl.  The people are all dressed in clothes dating from the early 20th Century which means there is a good chance the photograph includes Henry, Jane and their 3 children.

Maybe it’s a spot of romantic peering through rose tinted glasses but I honestly believe the photo is one of relatives.  I doubt I will ever be able to prove they are the people in the photograph but the idea is nice, isn’t it?

Surname Saturday – Attewell

Attewell, a topographical surname of Anglo-Saxon origin, is derived from the Olde English ‘aet’ and ‘wiella’, meaning “At Well/Spring or Stream”.  This ‘aet wiella’ developed into the Middle English ‘atte well’. 1

Attewell is not a very prominent name in the Man’s family, the relationship came about through a marriage during the middle of the 19th Century.  The Attewell family lived in Shirenewton, Monmouthshire throughout the 1800’s, however these are not to be confused with the Attwell’s living in Newport at the same time.

Jacob Attewell provided the link to the family when he married Rebecca Jones on 13th April 1852 in Shirenewton.
Jacob was born c.1822 in Shirenewton to Mary Attewell.  By 1841, Jacob was living in Caerwent, Monmouthshire employed as a Agricultural Labourer by George Dowle.
His marriage in 1852 to Rebecca Jones, the daughter of William and Mary Jones, produced 5 known children.

i)             William Thomas Attewell (1853)
ii)            Leah Attewell (1856)
iii)          Charles Attewell (1859-1918)
iv)           George Isaac Attewell (1862-1932)
v)            William Jesse Attewell (1866)

In 1861, the family were living in a Cottage in Shirenewton, Jacob was employed as an agricultural labourer.
Jacob died in 1867 and was buried in Shirenewton on 10th February 1867.
Rebecca remarried in 1873 and died in 1906.

Jacob and Rebecca’s children were separated after Jacob’s death and have been difficult to locate.

  1. William Thomas, known as Thomas, seems to disappear after the 1861 census.
  2. Leah is living at home with her mother, aged 14 on the 1871 census. After this she has been difficult to locate.
  3.  Charles was employed as a 12 year old farm servant to Isaac and Rebecca Baker of Red House, Shirenewton in 1871.
    A possible Charles Attwell was living in Cardiff in 1881, however he is recorded as married but there is no sign of his wife.  There is no sign of a possible Charles Attewell/Attwell in 1891, however Charles married Mary Jane Hancox Parkes on 1st February 1897 in Shirenewton.
    From 1897 until 1904 he was a Publican, at the Mason’s Arms pub on Temple Street in Bristol.  His son, Charles Thomas, was born there in 1899.  Charles died in 1918 in Shirenewton.
  4.  George Isaac was living at home with his Mother, the widowed Rebecca Attewell, in 1871, after which he is proving rather difficult to locate until 1901 when, aged 37, he is a boarder living in Ifton, Monmouthshire with Albert and Ida Hicks.  As far as I know he never married and died in 1932.
  5. William Jesse, born in 1866, is still living at home with his mother, Rebecca and step-father, Charles Martin, in 1881.  After this I have failed to find any other information.

These Attewell’s are accompanied by one other, a presumably illegitimate daughter of Rebecca.

Hannah Attewell was born around January 1871 in Shirenewton.  She was baptised on 29th Jun 1873 as the daughter of Rebecca Attewell named as a widow. 2
She appears in the 1871 census as a 2 month old baby but I have not located her in later ones.  Paternity of Hannah is a mystery as Rebecca’s husband, Jacob, had died 4 years before her birth.  Rebecca didn’t remarry until 1873, after Hannah was baptised.

What do you do?

A question that comes up frequently when meeting new people is the age old, What do you do?  Regardless of how well I plan my answer to the next person, I always stumble over my words.

 

Being a stay at home Mum to two young children (my boy is 6 while my girl is 2), my life revolves around them.  I don’t work in a conventional job and I spend my “spare” time writing.  I have written various blogs over the last 2.5 years but it has taken me a while to find my comfort zone.  But I’m still not sure what I am.

 

I have a myriad of interests, most of them relating to history in some way.  I enjoy reading and writing.  Both useful in terms of family history research, I’m not a fantastic writer and certainly will not be the next big Historian.  I mostly read non-fiction or period fiction (but I do have a taste for detective novels).

I enjoy solving puzzles whether it is a Sudoku puzzle, word search or locating a missing ancestor.

I enjoy blogging and extend this to blogging about my ancestors.

 

However, none of these answer the question, “what do you do?”.

 

To sum me up, I’m a carer, a cleaner, a laundress, a cook, a student, an amateur historian, a writer, a blogger and most importantly I am me.  I descend from ag labs, butchers, carpenters, farmers, lace makers, miners and tin workers.  I am Welsh with Welsh, English and Mediterranean heritage and I am proud of my working class roots.

 

What do you do?

Social Media – Tweeting Genealogists

As the number of records digitised and made available online grows family historians are looking for new ways to share information and collaborate with others. While there are sites like Ancestry, Find My Past and Genes Reunited, social media is becoming a main stream avenue to get yourself out there.

 

Social Media includes blogs, Facebook, twitter and the like.  One question always asked is “how can it benefit me?”

 

Introducing Tweeting Genealogists……

 

I first joined Twitter almost 2 years ago.  I was already blogging about my pregnancy and family life and it was one of those ‘well everyone else is doing it so why can’t I?’ things.  Other bloggers declared it increased their traffic; others spoke highly of the social interaction.

Since Walking with Ancestors came about I have found Twitter invaluable with many experienced researchers already tweeting there are always plenty of brains to pick.

 

So what are the benefits of tweeting about genealogy?

 

  • Members – Many experienced genealogists, family historians, archivists and general historians use Twitter.  Everyone has their own knowledge bank and there is never a shortage of helpful hints and tips to bash down that brick wall.
  • Hash tags – there are a number of hash tags used by genealogists such as #surnamesaturday, #genealogy and #familyhistory.  These hash tags are picked up by others interested in the subject providing an even larger pool of knowledge.
  • Lists – Twitter is a social media platform and if you don’t like the idea of creating an account simply for genealogy/family history you don’t have to.  Like Facebook, you can assign those you follow to a list.  For example “bloggers”, “genealogists” etc.  (However, don’t be fooled into thinking that someone is following you because you are following them.)
  • Publicity – Isn’t collaborating with your peers/relatives important in your research? You never know who may be using Twitter; that member you started following 18 months ago may be related or have further information on your family.  Isn’t it worth publicising your interests at no cost to you?

 

These are just four of the huge wealth of benefits available to Tweeting Genealogists.

 

If you decide to join Twitter, don’t forget to follow me, @WalkingAncestor.

Useful Websites part one.

There are many resources available to research your family history; I have discovered many websites over the last 5 years that have enabled me to trace some of my family lines further than the beginning of Civil Registration. This will be an ongoing project over the coming weeks.  Here are the first four:

 

FreeREG 

FreeREG is a free resource from the people behind FreeBMD and FreeCEN. Parish records are continuously being added to the database including baptisms, marriages and burials.  However, coverage is limited to Parish records that have survived.  Due to the vast number of parish records throughout the UK the project is ongoing and there are still a vast number of parishes not currently covered.

 

FreeBMD

FreeBMD is another free resource and an ongoing project transcribing the GRO birth, marriage and death indexes from the beginning of civil registration in 1837. Many years and counties are already covered, although there are still more to be added.

While I have a subscription to Find My Past which includes the BMD indexes, I still find FreeBMD a valuable resource as some details can be transcribed differently by different people.

 

Towcester Families 

Written by Mary Taylor and hosted on RootsWeb, Towcester Families has been invaluable to me and could be to you if you have ancestors from Northants namely Towcester.  My great grandmother, Maude Bruce, was born in Hulcote in 1894. I googled her name and came up with the site and I have been perusing it ever since.

As the name suggests it includes family trees of people who were born, baptised, married, died, buried or simply lived in Towcester (Easton Neston is also included despite being a separate parish).  The information taken from parish record held at Northamptonshire Record Office links 100′s of people in often rather complex trees.

Along with the family trees, Towcester Families also includes details of notable people, pictures of the area and much more.

 

Black Country Connections 

Not really a website but a family tree, hosted on Tribal Pages, of many folk in the Black Country.  My other great grandmother was born in Lye, Worcestershire and while the tree doesn’t contain her information, it does contain her great grandparents.

The information on the tree has been transcribed by a bunch of volunteers and it really is a wealth of information.

 

 

Surname Saturday – Hughes

This week the focus of Surname Saturday is the patronymic surname ‘Hughes’. While the origin of the name is apparently in Wales my Hughes history has taken me out of Wales into the Black Country.

Follow my ancestor’s journeys from Shropshire to Worcestershire and Staffordshire then on to Monmouthshire.

My earliest Hughes (so far) is John Hughes.  John married Sarah around the turn of the 19th century, possibly in Shropshire. They had several children including Thomas (1809), James (1811), Joseph (1813), Richard (1815), George (1820) and Sarah (1821).  These children were born and baptised in Hinstock, Shropshire.
I have found little out about the lives of this family and have not yet confirmed they belong to my line.

John and Sarah’s third known child, Joseph Hughes, was baptised in Hinstock on 3rd October 1813. He moved to Worcestershire prior to his marriage in December 1835, to Hannah Jones.
Joseph and Hannah started their married life in Old Swinford with John working as a labourer.
The couple had numerous children including John (1836), William (1838), Ameliah (1840), Elizabeth (1842), George (1846), Joseph (1849), Thomas (1850), Clara (1852), Sarah (1855) and Thomas (1857).
John changed occupations a number of times, being a labourer, coal miner, nail maker and back to a labourer until his death in 1888 in the Stourbridge Registration district.

George Hughes, the fifth child of John and Sarah, was baptised in Lye on 21 January 1847. He became a nail maker, like his father at the same time, and married Prudence Knowles, a nail maker’s daughter, on 16th December 1867 in Old Swinford, Worcestershire.
George, Prudence and their children; William Joseph (1868), Elizabeth (1870), Foley (1873), Daniel (1875), Norah (1878), John Thomas (1880), Mary (1884), Selina (1889) and Mary (1890), lived in Wollescote, Worcestershire.
George died in 1911, followed in 1926 by his widow, Prudence.

The most unusual named child of George and Prudence, Foley, was born on 29th October 1873 in Lye, Worcestershire. He grew up as the son of a frost nail maker and became a bucket maker before he was 17.
Foley married Henrietta Evans at Christchurch, Lye on 24th October 1892.
By the time of the 1911 census the family had moved to South Wales and Foley was working as a miner, living in Maesycwmmer.
They are recorded as having 7 children, 3 sadly deceased.  Their remaining known children, Norah (1901), Alice (1903), George Henry (1905) and Florrie May (1909). The first 3 named children were born in the Black Country while Florrie was born in New Tredegar, around 7 miles from Maesycwmmer.
Henrietta died 10 years later.  Foley continued living in Monmouthshire until his death in 1965.

Norah, the first known child of Foley and Henrietta, was born in Lye on 13th May 1901. I doubt she was the first child but my search for any siblings before her is postponed.
Norah married on 22nd March 1920 at Holy Trinity Church, Ystrad Mynach.  Her husband was Edward James Hodges, a local lad, born and raised in a mining family.
Norah and Edward suffered so much heartbreak during their married life.  They had four children, Oliver Hughes (1920), Ralph (1922), Mary (1924) and a still living great Auntie.  Of their four children, only one survived her parents.
Oliver, a Sergeant (Air Gnr.) in the RAAF, died on 4th September 1943 when the Lancaster MKIII he was in was shot down en route to Berlin. He is buried in Berlin 1939-1945 War Cemetery.
Ralph, previously unknown to us, was born on 4th June 1922.  He died within a month of his birth.
Mary, my grandmother, was taken on 11th June 1970 by breast cancer leaving her husband and young children.
Norah died in 1977 followed by Edward in 1989.

The Hughes families have added much to my research and brought their fair share of sad stories, it would be lovely to be able to trace the Hughes line further back.

More than a name

When one ventures into the murky waters of family history, one never knows what skeletons may jump out of the closet or what treasures may be uncovered.
When I started my research I knew very little of my family history, I even knew little about my own grandparents.  Throughout my journey I’ve discovered more about my living relatives as well as discovering their forefathers.
While I have census returns, BMD certificates and parish records, the stories of my ancestors lives are still not complete.  Certificates and other similar records only confirm their existence.  What really adds life to the name in the tree?

Last week I received an email with the subject ‘Selina Bruce nee Haynes’.  My stomach somersaulted as I clicked on it.

Selina Haynes is my great great grandmother, born in 1868 in Greens Norton, she married Joseph Bruce in 1886.  My great grandmother, Maude, their fifth child.
I knew little of Selina’s life and simply gained snippets in time from census records.

The email I received from a lacemaker, Kate, living in Northamptonshire was my first physical link with my great great grandmother.

Selina was the daughter of brickyard labourer, John Haynes and lacemaker, Jane Kingston Bevis.  She grew up in Greens Norton like her siblings, John, Matilda, Annie, Julia, Harry, Willie, Nelly, Tom, Emma Louisa and Clara.

Lace making was flourishing in the mid 19th century and girls were introduced to their pillow from the age of 3. Selina’s family made no exception. Selina’s oldest sister, Matilda who was 7 years old in 1871, was already described as a lace maker.  Ten years later, Matilda, Annie and Selina (aged 17, 15 and 13 respectively) were lace makers along with their mother.

Many lace makers at the time had lace making bobbins made for them, often inscribed with their name (or that of a loved one) and sometimes a location and/or date.

Kate recently acquired such a bobbin, made from cow bone and marked with ‘Selina Haynes Greens Norton’. My great great grandmother. She even sent me a photograph of the bobbin.

Moments like these are rare but so exhilarating. I have no need for a bobbin, I’m happy that it has an owner who cares enough to make contact and let me know of its existence.

Not only did Kate provide me with a photograph but she brought my great great grandmother to life for me.  I can never express my gratitude sincerely enough. Looking at the image of a bobbin over 100 years old, I see Selina as more than just a name in my tree.

 

 

Surname Saturday : Bruce

This week, the name that is the focus of my Saturday post is the one that I’ve (rather ashamedly) given the most time, the most thought.  Part of my reason is down to the story of Robert the Bruce…. Braveheart!!!  What a family story that would be!  However, the realist in me says that is never going to happen.  I’m not THAT deranged.  ;)

The earliest Bruce in my tree is William Bruce.  William’s place of birth is still eluding me, as is his year of birth.  However, by 1785, he was living in Easton Neston, Northamptonshire.  He married his first wife, Rosamund Gardner, on 22nd September 1785.  The couple continued living in Easton Neston while raising their children, John (1786), Robert (1787), Joseph (1789), William (1792), William (1798) and Jane (1799).
Rosamund was buried on 11th Mar 1799, just 7 days before her daughter, Jane, was baptised.  The following year William married Mary Cross.  He died 11 years later.

William and Rosamund’s 2nd son, Robert Bruce, was born in 1787 and baptised on 28th October 1787 in Easton Neston.  Sometime before 1810 he married Frances.  They also continued to live in the locality and had children, Mary (1810), William (1812), Charlotte (1814), James (1816) and Joseph (1819).  Frances died in 1821 in Easton Neston and 2 years later, Robert married his 2nd wife, Jane Newton, on 5th May.  7 years later, Jane, too, died.  Robert lived out the remainder of his life in Hulcote, Northamptonshire, working as an Agricultural Labourer.  He died in 1865.

James Bruce, the 2nd son of Robert and Frances, was baptised on 5th January 1817 in Easton Neston.  He married Elizabeth Redley, on 13th June 1842 in Great Brington, Northamptonshire.  He brought his wife back to Hulcote where he worked as an Under Game Keeper and they brought up their children; Frances (1843), Martha Redley (1845), Sarah (1847), Robert (1850), Rosannah (1852), Rebecca (1854), Elizabeth (1856), Mary Charlotte (1858), George (1861) and Joseph (1862).
James died on 5th April 1895 in Hulcote and his wife, Elizabeth, died in February 1897.

The youngest child of James and Elizabeth was Joseph Bruce, born during the last half of 1862 in Hulcote.  He, like his father before him, grew up in Hulcote.
In 1886, he married Selina Haynes in the Towcester Registration district.  Joseph and Selina lived in Hulcote until sometime between 1898 and 1900, when they moved to Wood Burcote.  The couple had around 10 children, including; Rosa (1887), Rebecca (1888), Joseph (1890), Sarah (1892), Maude (1894), James (1896), Jane (1898), Frances Mabel (1900), Phyllis May (1904) and Lizzie Mary (1908).
Joseph worked as an Agricultural Labourer until the later 1890’s when he was unable to work due to an illness.  Quite what his illness was is still a mystery to me.  He and his family were in the receipt of Outdoor Relief from December 1896 until his death on 11th January 1911.  On the 1911 census, Selina, a recent widow, was recorded at her daughter, Rebecca’s, marital home.  She passed away in 1928 in London.

My great grandmother, Maude Bruce, was the fifth child of Joseph and Selina.  She was born on 23rd November 1894 in Hulcote.  I know little of her life before she met my great grandfather.  They met, like many young couples at the time, as a direct result of World War One.
My great grandfather, Edward Evans, was a soldier with the Monmouthshire Regiment.  Maude was in service, living in Bedfordshire.  Edward and Maude married on 30th October 1915 at St Paul’s, Bedford.  Soon after the wedding, Edward went to the front line and, disowned by her family, Maude moved to South Wales to live with her in-laws.
According to family stories, Maude was disowned by her own family because she married a Welsh man.  She received a frosty reception from her in-laws because she was English.  My poor great grandmother had an awful lot.
Edward and Maude lived in Pengam, South Wales where they raised their family.  Edward died in January 1940 from pneumonia.  Maude died in December 1985.

Maude completes my Bruce line.  She came from a long line of Agricultural Labourers who were born, lived, worked and died in Hulcote.  The Bruce’s have held many of my fondest thoughts for a long time.  My biggest brick wall here though is, where did William Bruce come from?  Was he a Northamptonshire boy born and bred?

What is wrong with this family? Why you shouldn’t believe everything you read.

I’ve been researching my Family History for almost 5 years (wow, I’ve never had a hobby that’s been this consistent) and in that time I’ve seen some funny/strange/frustrating “facts” that are simply not true, not possible or simply just downright wrong.  The following has to be my crown (family) jewel..

William Bruce (son of James Bruce and Elizabeth Henderson) was born 23 Dec 1796 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, and died 28 Jul 1871 in Newburn St, West Hartlepool, Durham, England. He married Rosamund Gardner on 22 Sep 1785 in Easton Neston, daughter of John Gardner and Jane.

More About William Bruce and Rosamund Gardner:
Marriage: 22 Sep 1785, Easton Neston.

Children of William Bruce and Rosamund Gardner are:

  1. +John Bruce, d. date unknown.

This William Bruce is my 5x great grandfather, which would make James Bruce and Elizabeth Henderson my 6x great grandparents, or would it?
This particular tree is one of Ancestry’s favourite “hints” to give a researcher complete with a glaring error (have you spotted it yet?).  This particular tree appears to have ‘gone viral’, the list of researchers adding this misinformation to their tree including myself and a close relative continues to grow yearly. Yes, I admit, I fell into the trap way back in 2007 (do you have any idea how long it takes to delete family members on Ancestry?).

In case you haven’t already discovered the mistake… this William Bruce married 11 years BEFORE he was born.  What a clever man! ;) I believe he is the only man to have ever been able to achieve this.  On a serious note, who really is William Bruce?

Firstly, I have no doubt that the William born in 1796 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire really exists and yes, I’m sure James and Elizabeth were his parents.. It’s also probable that he died in 1871 in Durham.  However, this man is most certainly not the William who married Rosamund Gardner.

‘My’ (I use my in the loosest sense of the word) William was living in Easton Neston at the time of his marriage to Rosamund Gardner on 22 Sep 1785.  It’s not certain when or where he was born.  Rosamund was indeed the daughter of John Gardner and Jane Newman.  She was christened on 8th Jan 1759.
William and Rosamund had 6 children, John (1786-1879), Robert (1787-1865), Joseph (1789-1846), William (1792-1793), William (1798-1798) and Jane (1799-1836).
Rosamund was buried 11th March 1799, a week before Jane was christened.
The following year William married, Mary Cross.  He died in Easton Neston in April 1811.

I don’t own my ancestors but if I’m going to claim them it’s my responsibility to record their details accurately.  These mistakes in other people’s family trees are a huge frustration simply because the misinformation is still out there.   I’ve spent the last 4.5 years trying to put people straight on this… but my efforts have evidently failed so far.

I implore you, as one researcher to another, check your facts, read your tree and if you don’t want to delete the incorrect information then you really must rethink your choice of hobby.  That’s not to say that my family tree is perfect, there may be mistakes…. However, I don’t know of these mistakes at the moment.
