Richard,
My connections to Long Ash Bishopston in Gower is through
My CRADOCK family of that Place.
William CRADOCK of Long Ash born about 1540 was married to Mawd BOWEN of
Courthouse.
Mawd was born about 1540.
Her mother was Ellen FRANKLEN of Parc le Breos.She was the wife of Harry[Henry]Thomas
BOWEN of
Courthouse,who died in 1582.I have his "Will".
Ive got the FRANKLEN Line back 5 generations to William FRANKLEN who was around in the
1300's period.He held lands in Caerwigga.
Anyone know where that was?
I have the CRADOCK's in Long Ash up to Anne CRADOCK who was born there around 1630.
Her husband was Robert GETHIN probably of Nicholaston Hall who died in 1683.
These two were my 9 x great,grandparents.
The above from J.B.DAVIES revised edition of Limbus Patrum et Morgannie,
and Thomas NICHOLS book on Glamorganshire Families.
Cheers Graham.
