I hesitate to ask for help with Welsh on this list, but I am at such a loss
with the sentence below that I hope someone will be willing to give an
interpretation of it.
"Bron yr un dyddiau a Mr Hughes bu farw yn nhy ei mab, yn Llundain, fam A
Howell, Ysw, Trallwm, a D Howell Ysw Machynlleth, a chwaer olaf fy nhad."
The sentence is the first in a paragraph in an obituary of Edward Hughes of
Cwmcarnedd Isaf, Llanbrynmair (1783-1862) written by John Roberts (J R). The
next sentence is no help as it moves on to another point. I think I have
worked out who the Howells are who are referred to in the sentence and the
house referred to seems to be Correll House, Cambridge Heath, South Hackney,
but I am quite unable make a link between them and Edward Hughes. What is
more the sentence seems to refer to the "son" as a "mother". Any
ideas?
