PS. Guildfield parish registers for the year 1835 reveal one Emma
Clarke being baptised 15 Feb to Samuel & Emma Clarke of Tyrynynech,
so looks like on the right track here.

Hi all
Getting back into it after the festive season, I have discovered lots
of marriages, baptisms etc. courtesy of the new digital images on FMP
for Montgomeryshire, which compliments earlier research from
microfilms, and was wondering if anyone has any connections to a
Clarke or Dudley family of Pool Quay area, in particular Tirymynech
just south of Pool Quay station, which seems to be spelt in the
registers as Tyrynynech. These families are connected through
marriage to my Peate people of Llandrinio and Deythur. Very exciting
this, hordes of images fit these families. Sorry LDS, looks as if I
shan't be visiting your libraries much in the future!
Emma Clark or Clarke, who married Elijah Peate in 1867 at Shrewsbury,
Shropshire, is shown to be the niece of one John Dudley (John Davies
Dudley) farrier of Tirymynech in the 1851 census and in the 1841 at
the age of six is listed at the same house as a female servant. My,
they taught them young in those days, eh? At the marriage of John
Dudley & his beau Lettice Clarke in 1824 at Guilsfield there is a
witness, Samuel Clarke, so I am working on the premise that this
character may well have been Emma's father. Anyway, that may take a
day or two. One of the other witnesses was a Pamphylia Green -
fascinating first name, that! Sort of sounds like a disease. Naughty Graham.
Anyway, just thought I'd post this to see if anyone was connected, or
just interested.
Happy New Year everyone, may all your brick walls turn to gold dust.

Hello List, I have found these two occupations listed for Nock men in Montgomeryshire in the 1700- 1800s:
Senior and Jnr ( assume that is Junior)
What occupations do these refer to?
Thank you,Tomi
Sharon, have you tried Googling Bodiach Hall? There are several references to it and some messages that might help you.......or may not as the case may be.
Ann.
Hoping to find others researching my family.
Richard DAVIES born Llangurig abt 1812 married Mary (surname unknown). This
Richard was widowed in 1881 and living in Glynbrochan (farmer of 160 acres)
with 2 unmarried children. Their eldest son Richard (b1832 Llangurig - 1918
Trefeglwys) is my gt gt gt grandfather. Richard married Mary (surname also
Davies) and had 10 children: Mary Jane b1861, Richard b1864, John b 1866,
Margaret b 1868, Elizabeth (Lizzie) b 1871, Matilda (Tille) b1873, Ellen
Louise (Nellie) b1876, and Thomas Edward b 1882. By 1871 the family were
living in Bodaioch Hall in Trefeglwys, raising sheep. Thomas' daughter Mary
still lives there.
Richard and Mary's eldest daughter Mary Jane married Richard EDWARDS in 1881
and had 3 children - Mary Eleanor (aka Nellie m Llew Mills no issue),
Richard Asaph and John Ernest (my gt grandfather). The two boys emigrated to
Australia and had 2 (both living) and 8 (3 living incl my grandmother aged
91yrs) children respectively. When Richard snr died in 1897 Mary Jane
married his nephew John Henry Davies and had 2 more children - Gwladys
Myfanwy (m Charles Ioworth Evans no issue) and Cecil Edgar (m Adeline Breed
no issue). This family lived in Talgarth House in Llanidloes.
I'm having lots of trouble tracing marriages/issue/deaths of Mary Jane's
siblings. I know that Thomas married Anna Mary Owen. I believe Lizzie
married James Fulcher and Nellie married Evan Evans, but can't confirm these
hunches as yet. For the others I have no marriages or deaths.
Please contact me if you know anything of this family! Any bit of info would
be helpful - contact with actual family members thrilling!!!!!

Hi Roger,
I have been told the following:
Preliminary work to connect Llangammarch Wells with the Neath to Brecon
Line is said to have begun in September 1864 with the intention of
completing the line by August 1866, but by May 1867 it was only half
completed. Then it was abandoned. Another failed attempt was made in 1882
but was finally abandoned in 1890. We hope to investigate this further over
this year
Best wishes,
Hilary Williams

John,
Following on from your note on the Brecon Railways Exhibition
On an investigative trip to the Sennybridge area I was told of the failed
attempt to build a connection from the Brecon/Swansea line to connect with
Builth Wells, apparently the money ran out when difficult tunnelling was
experienced up the Cillenni valley, they just closed off the tunnel and
left everything buried, whatever that means.
I wonder if the Breconshire Local & Family History Society (BLFHS) could
confirm this and the likely date

Dear Listers,
The Breconshire Local & Family History Society (BLFHS) has announced the
opening of an exhibition of photographs and maps commemorating the 50th
anniversary of the closure of railway passenger services in Brecon. I quote
from the BLFHS website:
------------------
Brecon Railways Exhibition
Brecon Library – throughout January 2013
Railway passenger services in Brecon ended in December 1962. To commemorate
the 50th anniversary of the closure of Brecon's passenger railways we are
running an exhibition of 'then and now' photographs in Brecon Library, Ship
Street, Brecon. The exhibition is curated by BLFHS Committee Member Rob
Eckley, who has provided many of the photographs. Please drop in and explore
the photographs for yourself. We hope they will evoke happy memories of the
railways in and around Brecon.
------------------
Further details are on the News page of the BLFHS website: www.blfhs.co.uk/
Kind regards,
John
