Hi Andrew
I'm an Aussie descendant of Charlotte LAVENDER, daughter of James Lavender and Ann Jones. I've just discovered this web site, and am quite overwhelmed with the amount of info you have about this family. I have only been able to get back as far as James Lavender and Ann Price. I'm most interested to know where you discovered the PRICE details for Ann's family.
I've also struggled with the fact that some of their children were christened R.C and others at the Mary St. Independent chapel in Monmouth. A recent discovery on the internet led me to the records of the Monmouth (Catholic) Mission, where in 2 christening records James is described as "non-Catholic". This would possibly explain the different church records.
Their son, James, married Ann Jones at the established church in Llanllwch in 1837, and their daughter, Charlotte (my ancestor) married John James in the Hermon Baptist chapel in 1863.
I have the certificates for my branch of the family if you need any more details.
Is there any chance of finding more about James b. c.1778?
Thanks for sharing so much with all of us, Lavender descendants, scattered all over the world!
