Hi Angie,
Have seen your e-mail, again about the Proberts but am rather interested in
the fact that they lived in a Mill because according to my records my
Probert (Elizabeth) gave her place of birth as Llanfilo Mill and her
daughter's as Talgarth Mill.
Am I right in thinking that this Rhulen is near Aberedw, as you speak of the
River Edw being near by.
Have you thought that the Mill might be a Cider Mill as there were a lot of
them about at one time in this area and yo did not need to have the Mill
positioned near water.
I was very interested in Dave in Oz's reply to you as I have in my papers an
Evan Maddy marrying a Margaret Price in 1760 in Llanigon. I know there
were a lot of Prices around but I am clutching at straws as I can't find her
anywhere. I think I have said before that this Evan may have re-married in
1766 in Llanigon to an Ann Price. I had surmised that perhaps she and
Margaret were sisters but having scoured the Llanigon Parish records there
are no entries for either of these two ladies other than for their
marriages. There does not appear to be any record of children for the
first marriage so I surmised that Margaret may have died and he then married
Ann but again looking through the Registers there is no record of a death of
a Margaret Maddy around the 1760-66 era.
If there is any information about this Margaret Price I would be most
interested.
Best wishes and happy hunting.
Sue in Suffolk

Subject: [POWYS] Rhulen Mill - any ideas?
Hi List,
In the 18th C one of my Proberts lived at Rhulen Mill. I have searched for
info on the mill on Google, looked at the OS map and found the brook
(couldn't find a name for it) that runs through Rhulen into the River
Edw. No sign of a mill though.
I remember reading about an organisation/society that had info on mills
(both in use and not) but cannot remember what the address was? May be
that they might hold some information on it.
Has anyone got any ideas about how I could find out more?
Many thanks
Happy hunting
Angie
