So does that mean that they weren't ever at ebbw? That’s correct. It appears that someone has simply added pages 13-18 from the Dudley monument removal and added it after page 12 of Ebbw Vale. Presumably a transcription error by Ancestry? If merely reinforces what I believe that the Ebbw Vale refer...

Just going thru this so where is that Ebbw valley info from? so did they die there and were moved to Dudley?...or just the headstones? This is the reply I’ve received from Dudley Archives. “ I hope this may be of some additional interest to you. I have had the opportunity to look at the Records of ...

The Thomas Guest burial on FREEREG on 20 September 1824 is definitely by 3 x great grandfather as per the tombstone death date of 15 September 1824. He was aged 60. The other deaths on the tombstone are definitely the ones you’ve identified on FREEREG. Mary death certificate info. Died 3 August 1866...

Ok added in your username here m Just to clarify...why was there a gravestone then in Ebbw vale? was it maybe a monument? As surely the bodies weren't there? I have today sent an email to Dudley Archives to ask if they can clarify. I can definitely confirm that all five named were born, lived and d...

I can ask the owner of Bcc if that is ok.

Thanks to everyone who's replied. It's filled a few gaps and corroborated most of my research. To summarise from all the posts: 1. I'm 99.9% certain that GGG grandmothers Mary was born Whitehouse. Age at death and at census of 1851 & 1861 are consistent which indicates birth Apr-Jul 1773. Only o...

It was quite common for people from the Rowley Regis area to get married in Birmingham I think, and that is a similar distance. Sometimes it was to avoid tricky questions from a vicar who knew them but other times it just seems to have been a "choice". It's the most logical explanation al...

Having read through recent posts the information on the tombstones is fantastic. It confirms my GGG grandfather Thomas Guest died age 60 in 1824 as per FREEREG. He was therefore born 1763/64. There was a Thomas born Dudley 23 Oct 1763. This could be him. I’ve seen references to Ebbw Vale. There is n...

Sorry. Been away for a while & not seen recent posts. Children of Thomas Guest & Mary - all born at St Thomas, Dudley were: Thomas 30 Jul 1797 15 Aug 1873 Sarah 2 Sep 1798 ???? Seana 25 Nov 1798 26 Aug 1880 Senea 1 Feb 1801 16 Aug 1801 Margarett 7 Feb 1802 18 Nov 1803 Priscilla 14 Aug 1803 1...

I’m trying to trace the birth details of my great great great grandparents, Thomas Guest & Mary. I’ve found the death certificate of Mary Guest showing she died on 3 August 1866 at the residence of her eldest son Thomas aged 93. The census of 1851 & 1861 show her ages at 77 & 87 so consi...
