Good Afternoon all.

Re my original post seeking William Jenkins.

Shortly after the post I received a post which moved me to research my Jenkins roots in the Chepstow/Lydney/Ayleburton/Wooaston area.

My family moved to Clearwell about 1690 from Cowbridge/Llanblethian with the Wyndham family, they worked as stonemasons/cutters.

Before marrying my 4x GGrandfather my 4x GGrandmother was married to his brother James, they married in Bath, at the Abbey of St Peter and St Paul.

I am still researching why they married in Bath. My 4x Grandmother lived in Cwmcarvan the brother of my 4x GGrandfather was from Clearwell.

The corner stones of Clearwell church are from quarries in the Bath area. I started to research the quarries in and around bath and came up with a Vaughan-Jenkins.

I believe the families of Vaughan and Jenkins are connected but have not yet confirmed.

If helpful I will be happy to share my research Email me off line.

Regards

Tony Jenkins
