Gwen....have you a scanner? Do you want to email your cert to me as well......I do a good line in not being able to read them!! (not really, but I can't do Welsh names LOL) Merry

Can I ask who he married & where & when? Georgina.

hi Georgina, He married Ann Ensor on the 28th July 1846 in the county of gloucester district Westbury on Severn think in the IGI it says blakeney Awre, or something and the like!! Karen xx

Thanks Merry I do have a scanner but the image of the cert is not good but will email it to you. Thanks for the offer but I have to go out now i promised I would visit my friends mum who is 82 as all the family have gone to America. so will catch up with you all later. If you can decipher it perhaps you will email me. I have contacted the gro to see if they can help. Thankssssssssssssssss Gwen

No luck then Merry, never mind. Yes the groom was born in Monmouthshire (LLandogo) but married in gloucester. Think i will still throw myself at the mercy of the Gwent GRO they are more likely to be able to read welsh names than the CRO in Gloucester!! Perhaps if I offer a bribe, what you all suggest?!!

Gwen, I would only be to happy to help too. Perhaps even if I cant sort out mine I could look at yours I will PM you my E-Mail address x

I just sent an email to Merry but how do I attach a document from here Gwen

Hi Gwen, I have E-Mailed you my address, did you not get it??

Gwen - I have sent you my email address, so you can send the cert to me when you get back............ Fuzzy - the bloke who was Carthelina (various spellings) for his childrens baptisms, was called Leonard when he got married! LOL I have just been looking at some lists of Welsh names, but nothing grabs me! The name does seem to begin with S (see ''s''hoemaker on the cert) and end in H (see Josep''h'' on the cert) Merry

Oh Merry, why do these rellies make ourlives so complicated!! Sometimes you have to laugh or you would cry!! looking again at cert you could be right. I have called up a list of old welsh names on the internet, but nothing fits! I have also E-mailed my address to gwen, wonder if she means how to attach a file? Hope to get her sorted out at least x

thanks for you help everyone, I am being kicked off the computer now by son who needs to revise for his Biology GCSE this afternnoon, not bloody good enough eh?!!! will let you know what the Gwent CRO come up with, if anything!! x

On the 1841 census he is with a family and Barnabus Lambert born 1806 is the head, could this be his brother? 1841 census... Margaret Davis abt 1831 Newland Gloucestershire David Howells abt 1821 Gloucestershire, England Newland Gloucestershire Barnabas Lambert abt 1806 Newland Gloucestershire Penelope Lambert abt 1796 Newland Gloucestershire Richard Lambert abt 1811 Newland Gloucestershire Martha Miles abt 1839 Newland Gloucestershire Georgina.

Damn I thought if you could not find his fathers name & you sent for Barnabas's marriage cert it would be on there, but Barnabas married before registration began. BARNABAS LAMBERT Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: PENELOPE HERRING Marriage: 08 AUG 1836 Garway, Hereford, England Georgina.

Nice one Georgina! The answer to this dilemma must lie in the Llandogo non-conformist records. All the C of E baptisms for this time frame in Llandogo are for one family, which do not include a Richard with a right-ish year of birth and do not include a Barnabas. I looked to see if Barnabas could have bumped of Penelope and re-married, but he is a widower in 1871 and died 5 years later.....no sign of any new wives :o(( Merry

Fuzzy, Get ready for more goosebumps - It looks very much ike Linah to me - ??Could b short for your Carthalina ????????? Got granddaughter here but will keep looking when I can during the day and will get back to you. Dea x

Slight update - Linah IS a Welsh name but it appears to be female (Aform of Elen - welsh for Helen) Will keep looking. Dea x

Oh nice one Dea.....It does look like Linah, doesn't it?! Maybe it's not a real diminutive.....just that the vicar didn't hear the name properly and just wrote down the bit he heard? As he was writing a male name he wouldn't want to end it with an ''A'' because that would suggest a female name, but ''AH'' would be OK!!!! Merry

There was a Marriage for a Leonard Lambeth... LEONARD LAMBETH Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: Death: Burial: Marriages: Spouse: MARTHA BALDWIN Marriage: 17 JUL 1788 Llandogo, Monmouth, England Georgina.

Just checking in guys, you lot have been busy eh? The baptism record I found for Richard Lambert in Llandogo was Father Catherlina and Mother Martha, so perhaps Georgina had hit the nail on the head and it is Leonard, as Merry said Cartheliner was Leonard when he married!! although what I have on cert must be a shortening for that. I love these brain teasers, but sometimes wish they weren't mine!!! thanks again you lovely people for all your help I will check back later :) xx

Just another thought chaps, Carthaliner/Leonard/Barnabus/Linah's occupation is a papermaker, this could help narrow it down, having said that the area is riddled with papermakers!!! x
