Hi Dave,
Many thanks for your spotting - I will have another look and then hopefully at some stage
a walk around Rhulen.
If any info for Margaret Price comes along I will send it on!
Happy hunting
Angie

Subject: Re: [POWYS] Rhulen Mill - any ideas?
Hi Angie,
The 1891 OS map shows a disused mill at Hergest Bridge, about a mile to the
west of the centre of Rhulen. The parish boundary runs along the centre of
the river Edw here, so being on the south bank, the mill is in the same
parish as Rhulen.
There may have been another mill closer to the centre of Rhulen, though.
Page 3 of the 1841 census for Rhulen list the properties as: Llanowen, Mill,
Pant, and Cwmfillo. Llanowen, Pant and Cwmfillo are shown to the west of
Rhulen on both the modern 25K OS map and the 1891 OS map, but there is no
sign of 'Mill' on either and it looks very unlikely that the enumerator
would have travelled via the mill at Hergest Bridge.
My interest in the area is that Margaret Price, who was living in Cwmfillo
in 1841, became the second wife of my 3G grandfather. Her father, William
Price, became the destitute 'Old Price' referred to in Kilvert's Diaries.
