Richard Bowen, Innkeeper Plough and Harrow, Newchurch
 

When I returned home in August the forum gave me a lot of help finding out about Richard and his family. From the Census he was a innkeeper at the Plough and Harrow:D at Newchurch just outside Carmarthen

From a tree on Ancestry it said that he was buried 21 December 1858 at Newchurch aged 80 (source being Welsh roots) this tied in with a death that Kate found.

At the time:o I also wrote down that a Richard Bowen was born/baptised 25/11/1779 at Abergwili, Carmarthen, (I stayed there in 2009), which is just over the hill from Newchurch and a short distance from Carmarthen.

Now I cannot find where I found this record and I would like to find it again and hopefully find the names of his parents:o:o.

Help appreciated again. Thanks. Julie

It's on Findmypast, Julie.
