Frances Breeze born in 1778, daughter of Samuel and Frances Breese is my great great great grandmother.
I am very excited about this, and keen to find out as much as possible about this family, and their lives. |
Elaine shares more thoughts about Frances.
If you can assist Elaine with her research, she can be contacted via mail@penmon.org; KD |
Frances married Thomas Moore, a carpenter, in Shoreditch in 1806.
But how Frances came to be in London, whether she met Thomas there, or whether he himself had connections to Llandysill area, I do not know.
At least one of their children (another Samuel who emigrated to New South Wales) always claimed to be Welsh, despite the fact that they were baptised in London (admittedly on a 'round-up' some years after their birth).
As for Fanny Breeze I cannot begin to imagine the culture shock facing Fanny Breeze between Betws and the Limehouse in the early 1800s! How homesick she must have been (or am I projecting my feelings onto her).
But I am sure she DID go home, because at least some of her children were born there.
I have only just been able to connect her to Llandysill in the past couple of weeks, following the discovery of the will of her brother, Samuel Breeze, a blacksmith who was resident in Abermule and died there in the early 1860s.
Frances by this time was already dead, but there were bequests to her surviving children.
So it looks as though Frances returned to Llandysill after her marriage, but whether with Thomas or not, I have no idea.
The executor of Samuel Breeze's will was a John Moore of Kerry (the census shows he was a farmer actually born in Worcs), but I have no idea whether this man is connected to my Moores or not.
You can imagine the difficulties of tracking Moores in East London!
The Llandysill PRs reveal that Frances Breese nee Swain died in 1838 (bur 13 Nov 1838 of Abermule aged 81), so her daughter only outlived her by less than ten years.
I was hoping to find out more about the villages at this period - they must have been quite remote.
