Hi Joseph Martin
I haven't done any research myself into the lives of drovers but your
question seemed an interesting one and so I've hunted around online and
come
up with the following:
1/. Llanwrtyd and district: The cattle drovers [same modern county:
Powys]:
http://history.powys.org.uk/school1/llanwrtyd/drovers.shtml
2/. Powys Archive Catalogue. Use 'drover' as the search term:
http://calmview.powys.gov.uk/CalmView/
3/. The historical county for Llangammarch rural ecclesiastical parish,
centred on the village of Llangammarch Wells, was Brecknockshire (or
Breconshire).
4/. Historical Memoranda of Breconshire: A Collection of Papers from
Various Sources Relating to the History of the County by John Lloyd [III]
[interesting information about drovers in the county]:
https://archive.org/stream/historicalmemora01lloyuoft/historicalmemora01l...
5/. 'Breconshire Drovers' records in the National Archives Discovery
Catalogue:
https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/results/r?_q=Breconshire+Drovers
I hope this helps!
Best regards
