Hi David,
Thank you for that info. I presume it came from the Llanbister Parish
Registers. I shall have to make another trip down to Llandrindod Wells to get
copies I think.
Regards
Michael.
Hello Ian
Thank you for your reply.

Hi Margaret, I think the name should be SWANCOTT, there were many of that
name in Mid Wales, and today. Yrs, Dennis in RAD and MGY

Hi Margaret,
i was interested in your reply as i have an Edward Bufton born 1849 in
Llanbister who married a Sarah surname unknown born 1851 in Llanyre could
this be the couple on the fragment that you have.
Also I have 2 Elizabeth Bufton's both born in Llanbister one 1740 and died
in 1740 but the second one was christened 15 Sept 1745 could she be the
one
who married Samuel Swancutt.Their parents were David Bufton and Mary.

Hello Veronica,
Is it the Griffiths or the Miles family which interests you? Or both?
I have been searching for years - yes, really years - for some information
which would lead me to the birthplace of James Miles circa 1790, probably in
Radnorshire.
Could your research provide any clues, please?
Margaret was not his daughter although probably the correct era.
Hopefully,
Gordon in West Midlands UK.

I think he was a Sydney Bufton in the RAF in WW2, his name was on the Roll
of Honour in our old Grammar
Shool in Llandrindod Wells, RAD, now sadly demolished, but the Roll Board
is now in the new School here, so I will check it tomorrow for you. Best
wishes, Dennis in RAD, Powys.Wales.

Hi Michael,
There are and were many Buftons in Radnorshire / Powys in the past
times. One was an RAF Air Commodore in WW2, and was a leader in the RAF
Pathfinder Squadrons bombing raids on Germany, another was a Police Supdt in
Llandrindod at that time, and I worked with his son Ivor who died in a recent

Thank You John for all of your efforts in our behalf....My grt grandparents moved from Llangamarch, Breconshire to Dowlais GLA in 1881 shortly after they were married. Their first son Edward Price was born Feb. 1882 while they lived at #6 Vaughan St. Dowlais. My grt grandfather lists his occupation as Iron Baller. Three months later they sailed out of Liverpool bound for the USA.
Anyway great pictures and information....thank you
Robert Price

Subject: HULL Family Notices
Forwarded by the List Administrator on behalf of Nigel Penton Tilbury
I have just launched www.familynotices.org which is a totally non-commercial
& privately-owned site and I hope to attract postings from the past as well
as new social events.
Following the death of a close family member, I was infuriated and worse, at
the outrageous charges the local newspaper made for posting just a small
obituary.
It made me think through the whole 'death notices' thing and I pondered how
some persons are at their lowest ebb when trying to attend to the small
details. I felt that possibly many were either disturbed at the whole
horrible process and therefore would say "Yes" to anything just to be able
to end the telephone conversation, or they were suffering the modern-day
piety/mawkishness and want to spend as much as possible 'to show how much
they cared...' - regardless the 'local rags' love it!
So I created FamilyNotices.org - which is an on-line repository for all
notices of Births, Deaths, Marriages, Engagements, Anniversaries and Missing
Persons.
This has the advantage of being world-wide, unlike the 'local rag' and
better still - is free. Also it doesn't get thrown in the rubbish bin after
a quick read!
Please feel free to help yourself and post anything which is relevant and
appropriate - and it doesn't have to be current. Details of 'Auntie Millie
born in 1896' is just as relevant as a modern-day wedding notice.
If you like it, please tell your friends
.........& if you don't just tell me!
Cheers for now,
Nigel

Does anyone know if the Sharon Chapel is still in existence?
==================
Dear Lona,
A Google search for "Sharon Chapel" found a reference to a Sharon Chapel in
Tredegar. This is very likely to be the one you are seeking:
I quote from a message on the Monmouthshire mailing list, dated 29 June
2001:
"Sharon is in Tredegar, between Queen Street and Harcourt Terrace just above
the Town. It is a Congregational Chapel and is Independent." (I think the
writer meant Queen Victoria Street rather than Queen Street.)
I believe that Sharon may also be spelt Saron - see the article at:
http://www.congregational.org.uk/content.aspx?id=6669
There is a nice photograph on Flicker at:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeremai/4373892264/sizes/l/
The Coflein database (www.coflein.gov.uk/) lists the chapel as Wesleyan
Methodist under ref NPRN 10886 and includes the following description:
------------
An attractive chapel and an early example of the use of Lombardic Italian
architecture for chapel design with a corbelled eaves line above the gable.
There is an arched Venetian window set over five small round-headed windows
as the central part of the gable-end elvation built of squared Pennant
sandstone rubble. There are pilaster projections separating the main facade
into three bays, the two outer have small circular windows at the upper
level set over round-headed doors. There is a later gabled Sunday School on
the north side with round-headed openingss. The original chapel of this
congregation was built in 1819 and modified, altered or rebuilt in 1825 and
1858. The present building is of 1858 and is of gable entry type. At the
time of photography on 25.01.2001 the chapel was still in active use for
worship and in apparently good condition
