James Rees 1774 Steynton Milford Haven
|
James Rees was baptised in 1774 in the
parish of Steynton, now part of Milford Haven urban area, and the rural
community of Tiers Cross. He was the son of James Rees and Elizabeth Griffith
his wife. His siblings were Thomas born 1776 at Steynton. His two sisters were
Mary Rees born 1771 in the Johnston area of Pembrokeshire and married William
Corke aka Cork. The other sister was Ann Rees, born 1774 at Steynton parish.
Ann married her 1st husband Thomas Hyland, but tragically he died
shortly after the marriage, she then married Benjamin Evans.
I am assuming that James was born in the
same year of his baptism. I have been unable to find anything about James
after his baptism in 1774. There are a few possible sightings of James. The
first is a marriage in 1792 to Martha Gwyther at Steynton parish church. The
second was a marriage to Ann John in 1793 again at Steynton. And a marriage
in Haverfordwest in 1815 to Elizabeth Harries. But other than these clues
there is little else to go on.
