I visited Rhulen Church a couple of weeks ago and purchased there a 12-page
booklet called 'Three Parish Churches", - A guide to the parish churches of
Glascwm, Rhulen and Gregrina - by JB Sinclair and RWD Fenn.
I would not know if the booklet is available elsewhere.
I am looking forward to visiting Glascwm and Gregrina churches soon.

Hello List
I keep on coming across 'Gwynne's Marriage Index' on my Montgomeryshire CD
~ can anyone tell me what it is and if it is available for searching or
buying please?
Best wishes

Dear Listers,
The message below appeared yesterday on the Dyfed and Glamorgan mailing
lists.
What Gareth Hicks's modesty fails to point out is that Gareth himself is
responsible for ten of the thirteen Welsh county pages on GENUKI Wales (over
4600 of the 5000 pages), so it is he who should take most of the credit for
its success.
Well done Gareth!
Kind regards,
John

Subject: [Dyfed] Genuki Wales
A real pleasure for me to see that Genuki Wales got a nice write-up in the
September issue of Your Family Tree magazine.
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/
It contains about 5000 separate pages and is of course maintained by 3
volunteers;- John Ball, Vic Roberts and
myself.
Also, under a heading of "Top three; Unsung Heroes" and a reference to
'hidden gems' - lo and behold is my very own Timeline !
Now that is really flattering :-)

Hello John.
This isn't a criticism of you but In the interests of accuracy,
especially for our overseas members, surely your site should be
entitled Images of SOUTH Wales. The regional variations in culture
and construction are important.

Hello Jean.
My all time favourite is `Home-made Homes` by Eurwyn William, Keeper
of Buildings and Domestic Life for the National Museum of Wales. The
book, a gem of just 36 pages, was published by the NMW in 1988 but it
is now only available from second hand bookshops. It's fast becoming
a collector's piece.

1861 Census, Gelligason, Montgomery, Borwydd, Llanfair, area Llanfyllin

listed with the above.
Have not been able to find these two children.

Dear Jean,
All the farmhouses in my 'Welsh Farms' retrospective were constructed of
stone. In the fairly primitive examples on my website the stones were
roughly dressed, but in more substantial buildings they were shaped more
accurately. Various binding mixtures were used, from dried mud to a sand and
cement mortar.
There is a good description of the construction of typical Welsh farm
buildings on the website of the Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust (CPAT) -
see the article entitled 'Spite Inn Farm, Tirabad' at
http://www.cpat.org.uk/projects/longer/spite/spite.htm
The on-line essay 'The Traditional Cottages of West Wales' by Ross McCabe is
also worth studying - see
http://www.underthethatch.co.uk/essays/essay-traditional-cottages.htm
There are good examples of various types of construction at the National
History Museum (formerly the Museum of Welsh Life) at St Fagans, near
Cardiff. Some of these are depicted on my 'Images of Wales' feature

I can also recommend the book entitled ' Save the last of the magic....
Traditional Qualities of the West Wales Cottage", by Martin Davies,
published by the author in 1991 - ISBN 0-9522704-0-4.
I hope Powys List members will be able to recommend even better sources of

Hello List
Could sks look for a marriage between Thomas Higgs and Elizabeth maiden
name unknown abt.1787 please?
It is thought that Thomas was from Radnorshire and Elizabeth from Chirbury,
Shropshire, I have looked at my microfilm of Chirbury and they weren't
married there.
Any help much appreciated.
Best wishes
Shirley
Dear List ,
I have found the marriage of my Welsh ancestors.(with help by others on this
list)...ELIZABETH BUXTON and WILLIAM EDWARDS, 11th of October 1828. in
Trefeglwys and I have located them in the 1841 and 1851 census, firstly at
Clodhall in Maestrefgomer and Bodaioch, then Trefeglwys in Tynwtra
(paupers). Then I loose them. My GGGfather's father was still alive in 1855
The stated ages would imply William was born in about 1806 and Elizabeth in
1802. After a year of research I cannot locate a reasonable birth or death
entry for either. My great great grandfather, ( their son) left for
Australia in 1856. Can any one help with this last issue for this
family....if I ahve their births and deaths I would be happy ...their
parents, I accept, are not identifiable.
Many thanks for reading this mail
Regards,
Jill Cummins, Melbourne Australia

Hi Angie
Thanks for this. I was aware of the NLW database, as I've used it
previously - but wondered what the arrangements were post 1830. I
can't check the Powys Archives site atm, as the entire powys.gov.uk
website is down for the weekend.
"We are sorry, but www.powys.gov.uk will be unavailable on Saturday
15th and Sunday 16th August 2009 due to essential IT improvements and
maintenance."
The Wales Archives website doesn't return me any results for MGY,
however I did see CGN listed (at Ceredigion Archives) which I will
follow up ..... as I know a relative featured. I'm lucky enough to be
working with a rare surname.
Thanks once again.
Alison

How were the homes made? Were the rocks cut to a size?
Did they use a type of mortar? These homes were quite large. What did the common worker use for construction purposes?
Thanks for the answers.
