Find Ancestors

Has anyone else come across these surnames? It doesn't seem to exist on any of the main sites that I have tried. These are the surnames that the above lady had on her marriage certificate, although she appears to also go by the surname SMITH.

Hello Hippie,the Surnames I am trying to find are GYELS or LOCKEGYELS. Emily goes by this name on her marriage certficate but SMITH features as her surname as well. Thank you

what years are you talking about

The year of Emily's birth is around 1848.

Emily's marriage is listed twice on freebmd, as Emily Letitia L Gyels and Emily Latitia Lockegyels - looks as if the the person compiling the index couldn't decide if Locke was a separate name or part of her surname.

There are some Gyels on Ancestry - mostly early parish records.

I would think it should be Gyles mis-spelt.

Where and how is the Smith mentioned.

Thank you Potty. You have been busy. This was most intriging and has left me something to think about.

A sailor's wife - no husband with her:
Emily L Locke
Age: 23

Relation: Head
Gender: Female
Where born: Benson, Oxfordshire, England
Civil Parish: Portsea

County/Island: Hampshire
Country: England

Did she then marry again, William Henry LLoyd, who is the husband of the Emily I am researching.

Iv'e had a quick look on Freebmd but not found a marriage for a Locke/Lockgiles to an Emily Smith or Giles but didn't come up with any possibilities.

I am doing this on behalf of an elderly lady in Australia so I'm not that sure of the facts. She is deffienely Emily Letitia. On her son George William Lloyd's birth certificate, she is Lockgiles but on his marriage certificate in NSW she is listed as SMITH.

Thank you Ellen

The only birth for an Emily Letitia is in Basingstoke but I don't think that is yours. Maybe the Letitia was added at Baptism?

I cannot find a Lock(e) marriage either - have tried every combination I can think of.

where exactly did Emily & William marry?

Emily and William married in Monmouthshire, possibly Llangattock Vibon Avel or St Maughans, 1879. Havn't got the marriage certificate to know who Emily's father is.

I was asking the exact marriage date as there is a very good site for monmouthshire families
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~monfamilies/
Llangattock baptisms-
25 Mar 1880 Phillip Edgar so of Wm Henry and Emily Letitia Lloyd

but can't find a marriage in Llangattock V A and St Maughans marriage transcrip[t only at present go up to 1812

also
14 Aug 1881 - Cath Frances Elizth lloyd living at Duffin
8 Apr 1883 - Henry John
15 Feb 1885 Geo Wm
2 Dec 1888 - Jas Allan - now living at Penylan

Thank you Lancashire Ann for the dates and your had work.. The website looks very good when you know what your looking for. I don't know where else they might have been married

the name of the church will be on the marriage certificate

Unfortunately thats the one thing I don't have. I shall suggest the purchase of this to the lady I am helping.

sorry - I thought you said in your initial post that you got Emily's surname from the marriage certificate.
I am sure a copy would help you resolve the mystery

The Smith part came on her son's marriage certificate. Very confusing I must admit.
