Hi Ellen,
Type "nevill family abergavenny" into Google and at lot of sites come up.
Further more, if you bring up the Internet Archive website and search for
"Abergavenny", a number of books come up which will include history of the
town and of county families. Search each of these books individually for
Nevill.
Hope this helps,
Hilary

Subject: [POWYS] Nevilles from Abergavenny
Hello, Ruth and Listers,
If anyone has time, would you please check those ancient books on Welsh
gentry and send some info or resources on the Nevilles from Abergavenny?
My Aunt married a Ralph Nevill. Apparently many were named Ralph or
Randolphus...Their son is also named Ralph.
She has always remarked that her Ralph was descended from these aristocratic
Nevilles, but his line couldn't afford the e on the end!
My Aunt is now 97, and asked me last week for information. I've given her
pictures and histories in the past, but she has lost them now with her move
to a Care Home. (This tiny feisty woman was keeping her wood stove burning
in her house up the mountain, until 2 years ago. After a heart attack the
doctor would not allow her back home).
Please help if you can. I'll print off the responses, and take her a little
booklet when I visit her mid-July. (She lives 3 hours away).
Thanks from Ellen

Hi Hilary
You are lucky to have ancestors who were gentry! Their monuments, Wills etc
are so much better than those of ordinary folk.
Following up your source, Theophilus Jones, I looked him up in the
wonderful, fantastic Google Books, & found that the whole of his History of
Brecknockshire is there for all to read. By adding Talgarth to my search
words, I found on page 334, not only the Latin you quoted (BTW correctly
written on the tablet) but also mentions of memorials of other members of
the same family - Williams, Delahay etc. If you haven't done so already,
have a look at page 334 & the next page or two.
The Latin tablet is - or was - above the door of the porch. Perhaps someone
local to Talgarth may know if it is still there.
All the best
Ruth
