Thread: a welsh farm

frankieroyle · 30-10-2006, 01:17 PM

A farm in Wales was worked by an ancestor William Jones (1825-1873) and his wife Elizabeth (1832-1895). I believe a son continued working on the farm. but i do not know if they owned the land or not
i believe the farm is named Bryn-Gwenith farm Cefn-Carfan Bridgend.
if any one knows anything about the area or about the family, it would be greatly apriciated

their children mostly born in St Brides Minor
david 1849
moses 1850 (died young)
mary 1854
moses 1856
elizabeth 1857
sarah 1861
isaac 1863
hannah 1866
ezekial 1868 (stayed on the farm until 1895)
ezra 1870 (died young)
ezra 1872

acording to census they moved to Australia sometime after 1857 and returned before 1866 (sara and isaac were born in oz)
