Hi Dave,
I am very happy to have helped find your connection.
There must be many other 'invisible' people in the chain of communication.
I am so glad that Alison found the URL that I had forgotten to note down.

It's a very interesting story and I imagine it accurately reflects the
lives of many ordinary folk of that time.
I suspect that the genealogical links described in the gravestones need
quite a bit of further research before assuming their connection.
I would be very pleased to add your data to my family shrubbery but I have
not so far discovered these Ashton links to my known branches.
Cheers, Tony

My thanks to you both of you Tony and Alison
Elizabeth married my great great grandfather EVAN MORGAN KINSEY he was the
parish clerk in Llanwnog for over 40 years born in Llanwnog 5 Jan 1805 and
died in 1891.They had a son EVAN KINSEY born 15 Feb 1838 in Caersws,
EVAN MORGAN KINSEY married again 16 July 1843 to JANE JONES born 4 Nov 1822
in Llanwnog she died 11Feb 1903 they had 3 children Mary Kinsey 29 Oct
1850,Sarah born 5 May 1858, Matilda born 6 July 1865.
Mary Kinsey married my Gr Grandfather Richard Whittall.So that is where the
Whittall line fits in.
I thought that I was the only Latter Day Saint in my line which now has over
20,000 individual people in it.So I am delighted with this news that you
provided that I have members connected to my family from the early days of
the church.It has really made a very dull Easter to an exceptional one.If
you need any other information regarding my branch don't hesitate to ask.
Thanking you once more for the lovely surprise.
Dave Whittall
