I have just received a birth certificate for my g-grandmother indicating that my g-g-grandmother was Elizabeth GRAVENOR. From 1881/1891 census she was born around 1848 in Nantyglo, Monmouthshire.

She married James YEM(M) (probably in 1867) and they lived in

I don't know her parents yet (I will order the marriage certificate) but the only Elizabth I can find on earlier census is in 1851 as a visitor without her parents.

Sorry - mishit a key and the message was posted before I'd finished!

After marriage Elizabeth lived in Queen Street, Nantyglo.

Nantyglo isn't far from Six Bells in Abertillery which was mentioned on the board a few years ago.

If anyone thinks they know Elizabeth's family I'd love to hear from you.

Thanks.

hi my name is michael James Gravenor born in Abertillery

Hi Janet,
I am a Gravenor descended from Evan Gravenor and Sarah Ann Moses who had their family in Bedwellty/Argoed around the turn of the century. Evan was born in Newtown Montgomery (son of Evan Gravenor and Jane Richards).
Do you think there could be a link between our lines?

My grandfather was called Evan Gravenor and lived in the Bedwellty/Argoed area in the early 1900's.
His eldest daughter was called Elizabeth,who was known for her nursing work in the area.
I think there was 10 children all together.
There was my mother Mary Gravenor,also a Archibald,and the youngest was Edith I think.
Are we related?

It does sound like it!
The children I have for Evan are:
Elizabeth Ann 1894
Evan Thomas 1894
Percy 1898
Ada May 1900
Albert Edward 1902
Irene Maud 1904
Archibald 1906
Lewis 1908
Mary 1909
Margaret 1911.
I can see an Edith in the BMD records for Bedwellty 1912 but her mother was 'Hill' not Moses so this must be a different family.
Please PM me if you'd like to compare notes!
