Bringing this forward from the other posting for Ann...

You mentioned that you St.Hilary well, I wonder if you could advise me of any info you have on Rev.Crockett and his family perhaps?

I done a search for him on this site and notice that he was said to be living in Bath/Devon in 1891 at around the age of 12 and residing at a private school (Western School).

His wife was Enid Muriel and his daughter (who died in 2002) was Muriel Crockett. I visited St.Hilary some years ago and the lady residing at The Rectory was very friendly. At the time they were looking for living relatives and had found some in England I think as Muriel had just died and they needed to sort out the estate. My only regret is that I didn't ask them for pictures from the house or books etc and not sure what happened to it all. I know there was a huge picture of my Great Uncle in the house

bit of cash here too!!!

know little of the people there other than my friend who lives on a farm on the edge of the village - however, next time I'm passing the village I could call in and have a look around

all the info I'm digging up is from this free site

Thanks for all this so far Ann, you've been busy!!! and I'm glad that you came across your grandmother in the search!! It seems there are links to LOADS of Crocketts across the area doesn't it.

Really intersted to get hold of the marriage cert now between Lewis and Elizabeth Crockett to see who her parents were as I have a feeling they ran away on their own to get married, she was only 18 at the time. Apparently she was living with relatives in Llandovery (not sure why) and the story goes.....her and Lewis sold everything they had to buy themselves shoes to walk from either Llandovery to Merthyr or Merthyr to Tonyrefail (not sure if they had kids at this point, but a sad story in a way.
