Re: New Search

Could it be Bangor, Cardiganshire? 1891...

John Davies Head 37 abt 1854 Male Llanfair-Orllwyn Cardiganshire Wales
Hannah Davies Wife 38 abt 1853 Female Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
Anne Davies Daughter 13 abt 1878 Female Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
Thomas Davies Son 11 abt 1880 Male Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
Rachel Davies Daughter 9 abt 1882 Female Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
Hannah Davies Daughter 6 abt 1885 Female Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
Jane Davies Daughter 2 abt 1889 Female Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
John Davies Son 2 abt 1889 Male Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
Evan Davies Son 1 abt 1890 Male Bangor Cardiganshire Wales
Rees Thomas Head 39 abt 1852 Male Llandyssil Cardiganshire Wales

It's the top result in Ancestry on searching with what information you have. I'd be happier if he was a policeman but his dad is a pig dealer ! (if you want more on the above email me matt@bangorcivicsociety.org.uk)

Hi Matt
Many thanks for your response, looks very promising.
I will have to follow this one up next time I get to the library.
I've never heard of a 'Bangor Cardiganshire' though, google maps here I come:)
Again, many thanks for your help, very much appreciated.

I'm not familar with it either, does this help maybe... http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/CGN/BangorTeifi/

Ceredigion (Welsh pronunciation: [kɛrɛˈdɪɡjɔn]) is a county and former kingdom in mid-west Wales. As Cardiganshire (Welsh: Sir Aberteifi), it was created in 1282, and was reconstituted as a county under that name in 1996, reverting to Ceredigion a day later.[1] In extent the current county is more or less identical to the historic county.
