My GGG Grandmother was Sarah Jenkins, who married freeminer William Nash and lived in the Sling area until after William died in 1850. I am descended from their son Jeremiah Nash (1844-1904, see http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/lynnash911/jeremiahnashcharlottemiles.html ). William and his brother Richard briefly held the gale of Old Sling Pit Iron Mine.

I have not yet had the opportunity to trace the Jenkins family, but I believe that the following is Sarah's baptism record:

I would love to know more about the ancestry of my GGG grandmother. As you trace your Jenkins family, Tony, perhaps you can let me know how your line links to mine. For example, I have noticed that a Henry Jenkins and Mary Jenkins (brother and mother?) witnessed Sarah's and William's marriage certificate on May 8, 1830 at Hewelsfield; Sarah and William later witnessed the marriage certificate of Henry Jenkins and Mary Ann Meredy on June 20, 1834. An Elizabeth Jenkins (Sarah's sister or cousin?) married William Nash's nephew Ruben (or Reuben) Nash on March 15, 1845.

William Nash (1837-possibly 1913) was the fourth child of my GGG-grandparents William Nash (1806-1850) and Sarah Jenkins.

It appears that Seymour Nash was the son of William and Sarah Nash (married 1887), but I'm not yet certain whether/how they fit into my Nashes, whom we've traced back to four brothers born in Newland in the 1770s, likely the sons of Richard Nash (c1746) and Mary Harrison (c1749), married 1767.

My GGG-grandmother Sarah Jenkins Nash was indeed a widow living at Sling Pit in 1851; her husband William Nash had passed away the previous year. In the 1841 census, she was living with William and their children in the same area (Sling/Clay Lane End).

--Matt Nash

Sarah Jenkins do William Jenkins and HANNAH JAMES included in my family tree married Thomas Beach Dec 21 1830 (record 36321 entry 699) at Newland.

I believe my record is correct.

I do have a Sarah b 1812 do Thomas and Hannah James.

We may have a link through my William Jenkins father of Thomas b 1769.

I have data back to 1675 and currently researching the Early 1600's

Let me know if I can help.

"Sarah and William later witnessed the marriage certificate of Henry Jenkins and Mary Ann Meredy on June 20, 1834."

Henry and Mary Ann (Meredy/Meredith) were my 2nd gtgrandparents, but I have no knowledge - yet - of Sarah or the others you mention. Would love to connect them.....

I have 2 Nash connections: William 1837 married a Harriet Jenkins (remote corner of tree) and Seymour Nash 1889 who married Alice Caroline Tingle, a 1st half-cousin.

Thanks I will check them out.

My GFather James Jenkins (Jimmy Slammer) married Mary Ann Morris (B Llangattock 1869) They married at Monmouth registry office on 20/02/1895.

Checking the parish records for Llangattock I have found a Marrianne Morris baptised on the 3rd May 1869 (Father Thomas, Mother Hannah)

My Family believe Mary Ann (Marrianne) died in 1929 and is buried at Clearwell.
I cannot find any death record for either my Mary Ann or Marrianne

1. Do I assume Mary Ann and Marrianne are one in the same person?
2. Can any body help establish the date of Mary Ann's death and where she is buried?

Any help with the above or any information on the Jenkins family would be appreciated.

Regards

Tony Jenkins
