Sheppie Report 6 Jun 2008 10:57

I have traced part of my family tree back to Gronow Thomas born 1764 he married a Mary Davies born 1768 they married on 22-5-1793 in Llanmaes Llantwit Major Glamorgan. Gronow died on 2-10-1826. This is where I am stuck . I would like to know if anyone could help me to trace any further.

Thanks for information. I didn't have any of Francis siblings. I think Mary was still living in Llanmaes as the family seem to have lived there for further generations. I don't have the date of Mary's death or the parents of Mary or Gronow. Any more help gratefully received.
