Introduction

Welcome to the Wales and Welsh Genealogy Group. This is a group focused on Welsh Genealogy and other topics related to genealogy in Wales (map). Welsh Genealogy is not for the faint of heart and can be extremely challenging. But, it is also one of the most interesting pursuits and hobbies that you can find.

If you're just getting started, the BBC has a wonderful section on their web site devoted to Family History in Wales. If you're looking for more detail about Welsh Genealogy, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has a great Research Outline for the Country of Wales.

Hi David

Many thanks for the link to Churches of Wrexham site.  It will make interesting reading especially as I live in Australia and am far away from Wales.

The Welsh side of the Dutton family is what interests me around 1810-40, I know nothing about James Dutton apart from what I read in his son’s Birth Cert in 1840.  All I know is he remained in Tybroughton, whilst his son James moved to Manchester. 

I am hoping to find someone with a similar interest in the Dutton Welsh line.

regards Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,I am not researching your family line,but I do have family connections with Hanmer.Try this web site and just use your surname.www.openchurchnetwork.co.uk

It will give you a good list of Dutton's in the area.I came from that area some 30 years ago but still have family in the area.

You could also try BT residential phone directory.good luck contact me if i can help further,Regards David Morris

My gggrandfather James Dutton was born in Tybroughton, Hamner, Flint on 31 August 1840.   On his birth certificate his parents were James Dutton  (agricultural worker) & Mary (Lea) of Tybroughton, Parish of Hanmer, Flint. 

I have found a James Dutton (c1809) who married Mary (Lea) born in Iscoyd, Tybroughton with children including a James who could possibly be my gggrandfather. 

I really would like more information to tie this down.  Is there anyone who is researching this line that can help me?

Anybody have any ideas on how to find the birthplace of FRANCIS EDWARDS in 1705?  Supposedly it's near Bangor but when I contacted the college there, no one has ever heard of Ildoorl, Ildoel, or Udowil.  My trip is in 6 weeks and I'm getting desperate.

I have traced Edward MORGAN b. 1787 England, married Sarah DEAN, their first born Thomas b. 1816 England, second born Sarah b. 1818.  They emigrated to America about 1822, thru Port of Philadelphia, after a few years in PA, moved to Preble Co, OH, then onto Oregon.

 Edwards second wife is Mary SHIRLEY. Their son Benjamin Franklin MORGAN is my second great grandfather, his daughter Lucinda Mae (nee)Morgan WILLIAMS is my great grandmother and Ruby Mae (nee) Williams EDMONDSON is my grandmother.  If any of this sounds familiar please let me know.  I do have a nice book on this MORGAN line.
