Children all baptised at St. Michael`s

10 Mar 1794 Thomas

11 Mar 1798 William buried 30 Jul 1809

20 Mar 1801 John

3 Feb 1804 Robert

8 Jun 1806 Elizabeth

13 Feb 1810 Sarah

I think there was also a daughter Mary buried in 1797, but I can`t find a baptism record.

All this information was found online at Ancestry.

In 1819 he married Mary Ann PUGH in MYNYDISSLWYN and they had 4 children who were baptised in the Methodist circuit around CARDIFF. They moved to Trevethin where he took work as a miner. In 1850 their youngest child married and the following year they were back in NEWENT where he was living in (9)?Broad street with his wife and working as a currier and leathercutter.

He died on 7th September 1858 and letters of administration were granted to Mary Mansell his wife. He was described as a leather currier and seller.

I am trying to find out more about John’s parents whether he had siblings whether they were local and more about the leather business they worked at. Were they proprietors? I am at a loss as to who I should contact for St Michaels records pre 1837. Can anyone offer advice. Thank you
