My 3x GGrandfather Richard Jenkins married Susannah Jenkins, the widowed wife of his brother James, at Ganarew on October 1st 1837. The parish record list the parents of Richard as Peter Jenkins (Clearwell) and the father of Susannah as Timothy. Their home is listed as Clearwellings Green (Trow Green) parish of St Briavels, their residence as Hilstones, Ganarew.
Using Monmouth parish records, wills and census records I believe the father of Susannah is Walter of Trealy Farm Cwmcarvan.
James the first husband of Susannah (also brother of Richard) had two children before the death of James in 1835. James died as a result of a drowning accident at Redbrook.
The children of James and Susannah were called Elizabeth b 1833 and James b 1835. They also had a son Walter also born 1835. James b 1835 was baptised at Cwmcarvan. Walter and Elizabeth are with their grandparents on the 1841 census. Elizabeth with Peter and Esther Jenkins in Clearwell Walter with his maternal grandfather at Trealy farm Cwmcarvan.
Susannah and James married at Bath Abbey on 21st May 1832, an annoucement of the marriage was published in the Cambrian newspaper by William Jenkins, the grandfather of James.
When Susannah married Richard at Ganarew on 1st October she indicated that she was a spinster father Timothy. I have not been able to find any records for a Timothy Jenkins.
I would like some help please to pinpoint Hilstone(s) Ganarew
Many Thanks
Tony Jenkins

Good to hear from you again Slowhands.
I have a copy of the entry into the parish record and yes it is not easy to read.
It could be Lewstone or Wyastone.
The interesting item on the parish record is that it appears to be the first marriage at the rebuilt church as the entry is no 1 on page 1.
I believe the church, St Swithins was rebuilt abt 1837
Richard was a stone cutter/mason and could have been involved in the rebuild of the church. It would be nice to think they were the first couple married in the rebuilt church.
Was a marriage between brother and sister inlaw allowed in 1837?
I have not been able to establish why Susannah gave Timothy as her father I do not have a Timothy in my family unless someone can prove otherwise.
Kind Regards
Tony

I think there's a Hilstones or Hillshone farm at Ganarew. "Trealy" farm is still there under it's original name near Cwmcarvan.

Yes Hilshone and Great Hilshone farm a couple of fields away from the Church in Ganarew. Earlier records for this family if they were local would probaqbly be Whitchurch, Dixton, Welsh Newton,all about the same distance from Ganarew.
