Records of the Jeremy Family in the Carmarthen area go back to the 17th century, and my family branch is linked to Blaenige and Trefynys farms in the Newchurch area, and later to Cwm du Mawr near Carmarthen. Thomas Jeremy (born 1844) came to London about 1860 as an apprentice to Henry and Robert Parnall who were wholesale drapers. He eventually established his own draper's shop at 165, Camden High Street. He married Jane Mary Cutchey in 1868, and had seven children. Of the five boys, Walter and Henry emigrated to Queensland Australia, but the other three boys helped to run the family business.
