If you had taken note of all the info people have posted for you, you would by now realise that the place in question is CELYNIN

It has been found as Celynin on some censuses posted, which seems to be linked with Llangelynin?

'ST CELYNIN'S CHURCH, LLANGELYNIN' seems to be the link most commonly quoted.

apologies for starting another thread. have been away from this site for a few years and only just getting into it again. will put everything on this thread re Lewis and William. Celynn seems to be listed mainly as Monmouthshire in records, but can't find it on map. I am now stuck and not sure what way to go without the mothers name of Lewis

Your knowledge of Wales is probably better than mine .......................


form those 3 censuses, it lookes as though he was born in Monmouthsire, in a place called Celynin or possibly Belynin

Is there such a place??????

You say you have the marriage certificate?

What was the address given for Lewis and for Catherine?

What occupation was given for Lewis?

What occupation was given for the father .......... William Jones?

Does the certificate say if William is deceased? Although this is not infallible!


What were the names of the witnesses?? Could any of them have been family members?

Valerie

Kemp posted the marriage registration as shown on ancestry (?) or possibly FMP ............

the other 3 names are nothing to do with you, they are just the other names showing on that particular page of the Index.

The same names show up when using the search engine I use for bmds .......... www.fmp.org.uk

In fact, there is an error on that registration ......... there should be either 4 or 6 names showing ................ ie, an equal number of men and women. That usually means that something has been mis-transcribed at some point.


Ignore those other names.
