I thought I would re-post this as it has been two years and no one has replied to the original post(I hope this is okay!).
Hi, I hope this is the correct place to make this request. I am looking for information on the parents and family of my three times Great Grandparents, Hugh S. Jones(1827) and his wife Sarah R. Roberts(1834), (according to their grave marker they were both born on December 3 which seems a coincidence). According to what we have found Hugh was born in Merthyl Tydfil but I have no information about Sarah's birthplace. They were married in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts USA but I don't know when they moved to the USA. Sarah's parents were Phillip Roberts(abt 1815)and Mary Lewis(abt 1793) in Wales. At least one of these birthdates are probably incorrect as that would put her 22 years older than him and him 12 when their first child was born. Any information you could find on any of these people would be greatly appreciated including dates and occupations!

Hi, ive recently traced my family tree to Dawlis in Wales Merthyr Tydvil. 1840 census and have 1777 Agnes Price family living in 85 Ivor st. Her husband was Wakins Price and her son Howell Price also lived with her and was unmarried aged 51. she also had a son called William Price, whom I come from. His son also william moved to the North East, I assume because the industry was the same, iron works, mining etc. He died relatively young in Middlesbrough and the family ended up in the work house. There daughter Hannah Price married a Joseph Bratt and moved to Hartlepool (next town). Our family has handed down Welsh names such as Gwen, Olwyn and we always wondered why, so now we know. Wonder if any Prices still live there.

Hello chrisviv there is a HOLLINGUM family tree on ancestry.com with that family? that says he emigrated at age 3 and she emigrated at age 8. It says he was born 15th DECEMBER 1827 and she was born 8th DECEMBER 1832 don't know how correct the research is however because it has them in Wales in 1861 on census and in the family story they had a lot of children and all born in America some born 1861 1862 1863??? so it might be the wrong family. Give the family tree a look to see if it is the family you are looking for.
Mike
