Hi John,
Thanks. The CDs produced by the Powys FHS are an excellent way of
searching the censuses and I have found them to be very accurate due to the
transcribers having some connection to the county and are also interested in
family history research. These unsung volunteers give their time for the
benefit of researchers who find it difficult to get the the National Library
of Wales, the Powys Archives and churchyards. Their work has allowed the
society to produce a wide range of items including Parish Records and
Monumental Inscriptions. A full list of CDs and booklets can be found on
or in the Cronicl Powys which members get free three times a year when they
join the Powys Family History Society.
Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society also produces excellent Census CDs and
booklets for censuses, Memorial Inscriptions and Parish Registers. A full
list is shown on
or in the Record which is sent free to members of the society three times a
year.
I am a member of both societies and am very grateful to everyone involved in
the compilation of the information for the CDs and booklets.
Regards,
Margaret Harvey

Excellent work, Margaret. I have a copy of Powys FHS's 1841 census CD and
never thought to use it!
Many thanks,
John

Hello Julie,
I have found as follows a transcription of the record for Mary using the
1841 Census CD issued by the Powys FHS:
Knighton Hundred
Township of Gollon in the Parish of Abbey Cwm-hir
PUGH, Stephen, 55, Bapt.Minister, Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
PUGH, Edward, 20, Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
PUGH, Stephen, 20, Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
PUGH, Frances, 18, Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
PUGH, Sarah, 14, Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
PUGH, Mary, 13, Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
PUGH, Price, 11, Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
GEORGE, John, 25, M.S., Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
SMITH, Richard, 20, M.S., Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
GEORGE, Edward, 15, M.S., Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
JONES, Martha, 65, F.S., No, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
JONES, Mary, 25, F.S., No, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
RALPH, Mary, 20, F.S., No, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
WILLIAMS, David, 45, Ag. lab., No, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
DAKINS, William, 14, M.S., Y, Brondre Fawr, f4/p1
Mary was employed as a "Female Servant" at Bondre Fawr the home of the
Reverend Stephen Pugh. One of the inhabitants was an "Agricultural
Labourer" so the land was being farmed as it is today. Descendants of
Stephen Pugh still live on the farm which is in Bwlch-y-Sarnau, Pantydwr.
The word "No" after Mary's name denotes that she wasn't born in
Radnorshire.
The age of those over sixteen are rounded down to 0 or 5 and you are
fortunate in that occupations are not always recorded.
I hope the above helps.
Regards,
Margaret Harvey

Hello,
I was wondering if someone can look at Ancestry.co.uk and look up a Mary
Ralph that was born circa 1818/1820 in St Harmon in the 1841 Census. I
found
a Mary Ralph in Abbeycwmhir, but I can't make out the name of the census
place (residence) or her occupation. It looks like "Brondry ??" and as
there
were people with different names in the same household, I'm wondering if
it
was a castle or mansion type home.
Can anyone shed some light on this and perhaps her occupation?
Thanks,
Julie
