The Barnes of Pembroke, Wales

In researching the Barnes family from Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire, Wales I have come across several listings of  Barnes families in the Pembroke, Tenby, Monkton and Milford Haven areas who are not (as far as I can tell so far) related to my ancestors or are under consideration as probable additions. Here is a collection of some of those stray listings for the interest of fellow Barnes researchers, I would be pleased to add information on any other Barnes families from the area.

Some notes about Monkton church and churchyard

(may have something to do with the lack of records for the birth of George, John & William?)

Up to the year 1834, the inhabitants of what is now Pembroke Dock had the "right" of burial in St Mary's Churchyard, Pembroke, but that place being very limited Monkton Churchyard (with the exception of a few buried at  Bethany Chapel) became the burial ground.

Monkton Churchyard contains by far the greater number of the 'honoured ''dead  of the early dockyard. On the west side of the churchyard they were laid side  by side from the Churchyard gate up to the Church door, close alongside  that pathway.

When the Rev David Bowen, who was also an architect, was appointed Vicar in 1877 the church was partly in ruins and had been for some time. At that time the congregation worshipped in the nave, a photograph of which shows that the chancel and side chapel were in ruins with no roof or windows and covered in  vegetation.

 

The first part of the restored building was reopened on 8th December 1882
