Hello
I am trying to find out where William was born but have come up against a brick wall. :o He was born in 1796 but I don't know where. He was living in Haverfordwest, Cordwainer/Shoemaker until his death in 1865. I have tried contacting the RO and a lovely lady tried to help but also could find nothing about his birth, which seems odd. I know there was another family in the same area Samuel Owen Meares, a curate but it's not clear where he was from either and I can find no connection. :( Owen is a name that runs through our family down to the latest generation and a possible marriage connection. There are Meares in the Pembrokeshire area back to a house in Eastington but no way to connect. I am so keen to get back and find out more about him and now can't think what to do next? Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction, what records should I be looking for? I've been doing this for 10 years now and can't bear to think I am finally stuck in the late 1700's. HELP!!! If the RO in H'west can't help, is it hopeless? I've paid for 3 hours search which helped with his family and I've got them all now - oh it's sooo frustrating.
