Re: Richard BEYNON b Swansea, Glamorganshire, Wales 1869

GrahamReynolds99 — 2011-08-04 20:28:55Z

Rod,
My branch of the Beynon family were originally from Carmathenshire, some 20 miles west of Swansea. I know that some of the family moved to the Swansea area in the mid 1800's as the industrial revolution gathered pace.
Interestingly in my grandmothers possessions when she died (1971 aged 87) was a photograph of a Richard and Sarah Beynon from the USA. On the back of the photo however it seems it was printed by a photographer in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania. So in reply to your enquirey - probably not, but there may well be a link further back in time.
I have however traced your great grandfather in the 1871 Census living at 9 Edward Street Swansea (aged 2) with his parents Richard and Harriet Beynon and his brother William M Beynon aged 3. Hope this helps.
Regards
Graham

Graham
I am Rod Beynon from Grand Junction, Colorado. My great grandfather was Richard Beynon from Swansea, Wales. He was born to Richard Beynon and Harriet Unger Beynon March 2, 1869, in Swansea, Glamorganshire, Wales. His father was born in Swansea in 3 Apr 1844 to Richard and Mary Ann Clement Beynon. I was wondering if maybe we were related to you and your Beynon's?

I believe Jonah's brother Thomas was my great grandfather. If it is confirmed that this is the case then I have a substantial amount of information on the Beynon family from Wales, UK. I live in the city of Swansea near the area that the Beynon family were from. I also have copies of letters written from cousins in Pennsylvania to my grandmother Margaret Beynon (daughter of Thomas). If you are interested in finding out more please email me.

My grandfather was Frank Dean Beynon who was the father of Kenneth Beynon and Donald Beynon. There is a grave marker at Union Cemetery in Meyesdale, Pennsylvania. For Frank David Beynon.

Frank David Beynon of Johnstown, PA, USA

bigj82nd1 — 2011-03-28 13:27:55Z

I am trying to obtain information about my Great Grandfather. His name was Luther Beynon of Johnstown PA. He was married first to Mabel Evans and then to Lousie (Unknown maiden name). I have a good amount of information about Luther but I am trying to explore more about his parents. From his social security application he notes his father as Frank David Beynon and a mother named Mary Botting. Please email me with any information, unfortunately those who knew this have long since passed.

Fiona_Bathgate — 2010-08-13 22:21:21Z

Don't forget that before the early 20thC a lot of people were illiterate and even those who wrote may not have been well schooled - they wrote down what they heard. Spellings were not standardised for a long time.

So when someone came for a baptism the vicar or clerk will have writen down the name as he heard it and the couple who couldn't read or write couldn't correct it

Discount alternative spellings at your peril!

I have not run across any info about Beynon.

DHOLLIS777 — 2010-05-16 13:28:38Z

My father always told me the little ditty about our ancestors coming from Aberaman, near Aberdare, Glamorganshire, South Wales, and I've never forgotten it! I hope that will mean something to someone on the Beynon search!

My Beynon connection: Thomas Hardy Beynon 1774-1845 m. Mary Ann (last name unknown) b. 1790.
Their son William Hardy Beynon 1820-1888 m. Elizabeth (Eliza) Ferber (or Furber) 1823-1899.
Their daughter Sarah Ann Beynon 1841-1908 m. Thomas Danks 1839-1905.
Their son Thomas Ivor (Ivar) Danks 1866-1932 m. Magdalena Evans 1871-1934.
Their daughter Sarah Kathryn Danks 1906-1969 was my grandmother. She married Clarence William Harris 1900-1955.

Does any of this ring any bells with any of you?! There are many descendants of each of these surnames, as you've all probably discovered, and I'm trying to sort it all out and figure out which Beynons these are and other family information about them and the relatives before them!!

Thanks for any information! You can also reach me at dhollis777@aol.com

My Beynon relatives are also from the Scranton area. Jonah Beynon married to Ann Harris originally settled in Beaver Meadows, Pa. And later his children were in New York and Scranton. They came here from Wales in the early 1880's. I have no info on the Harris'. Does she fit in your tree?

Re: Family Beynon

annie2604 — 2007-01-02 23:14:43Z

Hi Rachel,
My paternal grandfather was called Jason Beynon and he married Ann nee Gibby. He was a farm labourer and drove cattle regularly over the Preselli mountains.
He moved up to Treharris in Glamorganshire when the collieries were sunk there and lived in a place called Edwardsville.
I have looked back at my family tree, but there has not been a Benny/ Benjamin among my lot.

However, if there's anything that I can help with, by all means come back to me. Good luck ! Isn't it just fascinating ? I wish I had more time to delve deeper at the moment.

Bye for now,
Anne

Re: Family Beynon

kornberg_1 — 2007-01-02 20:58:51Z

I would be interested to make contact. My maternal g-grandmother was a Beynon and I have been researching her family. They were from Narberth. I have drawn a blank at Benjamin (Bennie) Beynon (b 1823)'s parents. You can see my tree at www.tribalpages.com/tribes/kornberg Please do make contact. Many thanks. Rachel

Re: Family Beynon

2006-11-08 22:47:37Z

Hello ! How interesting! I have not been able to find another Jason Beynon, but I haven't had much time to research that far back.
I know that my grandfather Jason was a drover/farm labourer before he moved up to Treharris when the collieries were prospering. He married Anne nee Gibby and they had several children. If this is of any help, I shall fish out more info. for you.

Re: Family Beynon

lizat1_1 — 2006-11-08 22:38:28Z

My maiden name was Beynon and I live in Narberth. I have just started to research our family tree and I know from my father that Jason was a family name. Henllan Amgoed is about 10 mile from Narberth and I know that my great-great- grandfather Joshua Beynon was born at Llanddewi Velfrey (listed in olden times as Llanddewy) which is close to Henllan Amgoed. I would be interested to make contact - the above address should read @hotmail.com.

Looking for relatives of Robert E Beynon. My great Aunt Cora (Burket) Beynon was married to him. My Grandmother Edith Burket-Prato was a sister to Cora. They had 3 children, John R. , James E and Mildred Beynon. His parents I believe wher Susan Beynon and I believe David Beynon from Wales was his father. In 1920 they lived in Summit, Somerset CO. but later they moved to Acosta, Somerset Co., PA
Best to family's knowledge none of Cora's children married so there is no one for me to contact on the Burket side. I do have a photo of Cora and her daug Mildred and was trying to find any photo of Cora and her husband Robert and also photos of his two son's John R. b. 1922 and James E. b 1926
Robert E., Cora's husb was b 1880 died 1942 and the entire family is buried in Union Cemetery in Meyersdale. I am putting together a family tree for my sibilings and was hoping to locate any photos. James R. b 1922 was in WWII and would like to find a Military photo of him if possible. Any photos would be appreciated.

Hello Paul,

I am at the early stages of a family tree for my dads side of the family.

I would love to have a look at your family tree to see if it cross links with mine. I am looking into the Beynon family that lived in Issells/Jeffreyston (many spellings!) and have come accross William Beynon, my Great Great Grandfather born 1843/1845 in St issells. I need to get back to find his parents and brothers and sisters.

Anyway let me know if you can help... I have found quite a few census documents, going back to the 1861 census and I have info from my Aunty regarding family stories and memories, maybe I can help you too.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

Looking up information on Crunwere, I came across messages between you and Mr Beynon - including your obvious scholarly research... I am a recent novice in researching family history but realise that there are connections with Crunwere via Kiffig/Keiffig/Cringa Kiffig and Laugharne.
My great-grandfather was on Benjamin Raymond, born, I think in Crunwere in 1829 and died approx. 1896, having been married to Keturah (Phillips). His father was Daniel and his father: William (born 1750s? and died 1840 and apparently buried in the churchyard, Crunwere, having been married (wife's name unknown) in 1787.
I would be grateful for any light you could shed or guidance you could give.

Re: Beynon - Crunwere, LLanteg & Pembs in general

ericrhodes_1 — 2005-01-04 22:44:17Z

The joys of the internet!! I am just starting out on tracing members of the family - from a distance (Norfolk). I 'looked up' Crunwere to find out more. A great grandfather and his predecessors had connections there before family moved on to Laugharne and beyond...
I noticed your surname. Coincidentally, probably, an Edward Beynon, 63, is shown on the 1901 census return as working as smith and general farm worker for my grandfather in Laugharne. I know that a Beynon was also the blacksmith in Broadway, Laugharne around the 30s/war years.
Good luck with your research.

My Margaret BEYNON was born 1845 according to the U.S. Census of 1880. She may be one of the two Margaret BEYNONs born in March Q 1845 and Sept Q 1845 at Pembrey, Carmarthenshire. Also at same parish were Christened William 26 July 1841 and Elizabeth 22 Mar 1835, children of Benjamin and Frances. Another Margaret who was christened the same month as the child of Benj. & Frances was listed as the child of Ann BEYNON, no father listed. Would like to know more of either of the Margaret BEYNONs of this parish.
