Dear Listers, recently I visited the new records office at Ebbw Vale for the first time
and, of course, didn't find what I was looking for. Are there any more experienced
researchers who could help?
I'm looking for the origins of the above farm owned by the James family until 1891
when it was sold to Dan Albert Lewis the nephew of the widow, Margaret James.
I have traced the farm to the 1843-44 tithe map and the 1841 census and was mentioned in
the diaries of Lewis Edmunds in 1825 when he visited Beryn James of Glandwr to do some
work.
It isn't mentioned in the collection of Monmouthshire houses. There is an 1821 survey
of the area done for the Baron of Abergavenny which needs more investigation.
There is nothing in the farm card index. I am almost positive it was never owned by the
Llanover.
Is there anything else I could look at to find when this farmhouse was built and by whom?
Cheers, Luned presently in UK
