Gething family, Chepstow (General)
Looking for any information on the Gething family from Chepstow, George and Mary Ann Gething had 5 Children Mary Ann, Robert, John Jacob, Sarah and George,
Would love to find out about the parents George and Mary who I believe her maiden name was Jacob. I have done some research and conflicting evidence leading to a boat service in Chepstow ? but I have been unable to find a connection. Any information pre 1800's on this family will be gladly recieved Thank you for reading this posting.
Best wishes

Hi Chris, Thanks for the information and replying to my post, I have never been able to link the surname really just a guess as one of the son's middle name was Jacob or it could have been Barclay who is named as a relation in Mary's Will cant thank you enough perhaps I will really get over the brick wall. Thank you

Thanks for your hard work looking into this for me. Some great research, I have all the children as there were bonds left apon the death of Mary so the Christening records confirm this. It was great to find the Marriage of the George and Mary it looks like I have been looking in the wrong area. It seems to be the only marriage that fits in for the time. I have been centralised at the possible connections with the riverboat and possible family members being in chepstow and brockweir more than further afield.
Thank you so very much

Obviously this particular branch of the family were in Liverpool in 1839, as William BARTON GETHING birth is registered June 1839, Liverpool District.
On the 1881 census - we have at 17 Byron Street, Derbyshire
William GETHING - and his family - age 41, born Liverpool
(Chelsea Pensioner. Sergt Major - Yeoman (DYC)
Annie - 40, born Manchester
Isabella - 12, born Windsor, Berks
Maggie - 10 - born London
Gertrude - 7 - London, Chelsea
William 5 - born London, Regents Park
Adelaide - 3, born Berks, Windsor
Liliam - 4 months born Derby, Normonton
On the 1871 census, William B GETHING (transcribed as GETTING is a Corporal 1st Life Guards)
29 April 1868, Westminster, St James Paddington - 29 April 1868 - District of St Paul's Knightsbridge.
William is a Corporal in the 1st Life Guards - father John JACOB GETHING is a Captain in the Merchant Service.
Annie HURST, of St James Paddington, father John HURST, Engineer
Gething family, Chepstow
Yes I have that information The father John moved to Liverpool he was Captain /Master and died at sea in 1852 and his son John, Williams Bartons brother died in 1857 at sea of Yellow fever it seems shipping was in the family. George and Mary's son all had connections with shipping Robert became Dock Master of Newport. John a Captain/Master and George jnr a shipping agent in Newport. It seem that the family spread outwards across the Country from Robert side of the family also to Liverpool, Staffordshire, Worcestershire and London. But myside only moved up the road to Bargoed, (Mid Glamorgan) ha ha
Thanks for all your time and help on this.

From memory - you will find Gethings in "Men and Armour" listed as mariners. There were also Gethings in the Severn Gorge back this far.
Gething family and Baptist causes
A benefactor of the Baptist college at Pontypool in the 19th century was a George Gething. Is that the same George Gething (md to Jane)who lost two daughters (drowned at Southerndown 21/7/1842)? In the old Baptist chapel at Caerleon, Newport [now two private houses] there was a plaque He was a shipping merchant using the Usk at Caerleon. I would like to know more about the family and their connections.
"Sacred to the memory of Mary aged 15 years and Jane aged 13 years, only daughters of George and Jane Gething of the town of Newport, died 21st July 1842"
Bradney's history of Monmouthshire records the plaque. Then the Bristol Mercury and Daily post, Saturday,July 30 1842 reports
"In our last we breifly alluded to the melancholy dealth, by drowning, of Jane, aged 14, and Mary, aged 16, daughters of George Gething, Esq., of Newport. It appears that the two ladies, with their mother, who was stopping near Southerndown,a watering place, near Bridgend, on the Glamorganshire coast, went to bathe under Dunraven Castle, not far from the Summer-house. The tide being low, the young ladies proceeded beyond the point; and Mrs Gething repeatedly enjoined them to be cautious and not venture beyond the shallow water. They were , however, drawn into the current, and after a brief struggle for existance, both perished! Poor Mrs Gething made every exertion to rescue her children. She went out of her depth and narrowly escaped the fate of her lost offspring. The agonised father immediately reached the scene of the wo, and found his wife in a state of insensibility. The body of Jane aged 14, was soon recovered, but Mary was not found till about half past twelve on Friday morning. ... The afflicted father, wandering in agony beside the treacherous waters, found his beloved child Mary a stiffened corpse the next morning. A verdict of accidental dealth has been returned ..."

Gething family and Baptist causes
Many thanks for so much on the family. I notice that the minister who christened Ann Gething daughter of James Gething and Mary in 1833 was Rev. Thomas Thomas. According to an 1871 history of the Independents in Wales (Hanes Eglwysi Annibynol Cymru), Rev. Benjamin Evans followed Thomas Thomas as minister and finally William Gethin (Gething on Caerleon.net) who came from Bristol. On Caerleon.net the christening by William Gething was that of Richard James in 1836. According to the 1871 history, William Gething sold the old chapel and built a new one, but there was reliance on a loan which was made by Mrs Powell, widow of a Mr T Powell. In her will she left that money to a nephew and on her death the nephew took possession of the chapel and locked it up. With this the cause failed. The history does not say what happened to Rev. William Gething.

Dear Person
I live locally to St Woolos cemetery, Newport. Regarding your mention of the 2 daughters of George Gething (1798-1867), namely Mary (b.19 Jun 1827) and Jane (born 16 Dec 1828), who both died in 1842, they are buried in St Woolos cemetery alongside George Gething, his eldest son George Barclay Gething & Jane, wife and the mother. I have images of the headstones if you are interested.
Mark Hewinson.

Gethin family of Chapel Hill
by Lisa Astley , Wednesday, September 26, 2012, 23:03 (4518 days ago) @ unknown
Hi all
looking for informaion on my family the Gethin's from Chapel Hill, Tintern. I know that they lived in that area about 1780's before moving to Newport. They ran the river boats and where iron merchants George Gething Married mary Jacob in Bristol in 1790's but believe Mary lived in the area not Bristol. I have followed the family through to Newport where the Grandson Robert became Dock Master. I have strong believe that they have connections with the sea and local public houses as when they lived in Newport. I have looked on the Parish records and my family can be found through the baptisms to 1739 but would love to know where they lived ect and where they may have been burried.
Thank you
Lisa
