We get a number of requests for information from people whose descendents came form the Llangrannog area, wanting information on their family home or whether they still have family living in the area. To date we have had a number of successes, sending photographs to Australia and the USA, however it is getting more difficult and we would appreciate any help from anyone concerning the items below. In the first instance please contact Bryan Davies and we can then pass on the information.
Brian Jenkins is looking for information on His Grandfather or any descendants
Eliza Jenkins D.O.B. 10.12.1882
Robyn Jones from Australia . I contacted you late last year re photos of Cefncwrt and Evans family graves at Capel y Wig. Well , my husband and I are planning another trip to Wales May 2007 after Anzac celebrations in Turkey. And as I have no idea where to start I wondered if you could help. I want to find out if I have any surviving relations in the Llangrannog/Cardigan area. I think they were the family whose ancestors owned Cefncwrt till 1968. Evan and Mary Evans were there till 1881and had surviving Children Mary b. 1833 , William b 1834 my great grand father and Thomas b 1839. There were others but they perished before their parents.
I look forward to your
reply

I'm wondering
where I could "post" a message as my ancestor came from Llangrannog. I
would assume that there are still family members from both the Davies and
Owen families still there, so I would like to make contact if I could.
Anyway.......my Owen Davies
was baptised at St David's Church Llangrannog (Blaencelyn) on August 9,
1813, his parents were Enoch & Sara Davies from Hotty (that's what it
looks like on the copy of the church register that I have) and Enoch was a
labourer.
Enoch Davies & Sara Owen
were married on 19 June 1813 in St Davids Church and the witness' were
Evan Thomas (who was the Vicar) and James Owen.
They had quite a few
children after Owen:
Mary Davies bapt 1819
Magdalen Davies bapt 1822 -
m - David Lewis
David Davies bapt 1824
James Davies bapt 1827
Sarah Davies bapt 1829
(died 1830)
Griffith Davies bapt 1832 -
m - Elizabeth? from Llandysilio.
John Davies bapt 1834
Thomas Davies bapt 1837.
Owen arrived in Hobart
Tasmania as he married in 1837, which is where my line comes in. He was
a Master Mariner and here in Tasmania he was a captain of at least one
whaling vessel "Sussex".
So I'm trying to find out if
there are any relatives from this couple left in Llangrannog.
We received an e-mail from John Davies in Hampshire on 9th November who could be related to Helen from Tasmania. Please put Helen
Webster of Tasmania in touch with me. We appear to be related.  Can anyone identify the photograph below, together with a date if possible Probably taken at Llangrannog Carnival ?
