    Default Gambold

    I'm trying to trace my family history from Wales,

    I'm looking for Birth Certificate copies of:

    James Seely Gambold (Born: 30 August 1878) in Harfordwest Pembrokeshire)

    and

    Mary Ann Johns Born Wales

    Thanks

    From freebmd;
    Births Sep 1877 (>99%)
    GAMBOLD James Sealy Haverfordwest 11a 896
    which makes him a year older than what you quoted

    Thanks. the only thing is the spelling of seely is different. Could this have been an error? all the documents I have, have his name spelt Seely and not Sealy

    Default Gambold

    I have a copy of James Sealy Gambold birth certificate, and can supply you with information about the Gambold family. I don't know how much you know about that line.

    James was born 30 August 1877 in the Union Workhouse, Haverfordwest to Martha Gambold an unmarried domestic servant. Martha had 3 / 4 children. She is reputed to have had 2 James Sealys!, but so far I have only found one. Eliza A was born about 1871 and Richard about 1875.

    Martha was (I am 90% certain) illegitimate herself. The difficulty here is that there were 3 Martha Gambolds born about the same time (1840-1845), two of whom were illegitimate and I lose track of two of them after the 1861 census.

    If you would like more information I can send you more off line.

    regards

    Megan

    Can you confirm that you have received the jpeg of the Gambold headstone that I sent?
