Hi Sharon
I have the Edwards family of Cyll in a distant branch of my family tree.
I make Richard Edwards (abt 1808 Trefeglwys - 1878 Cyll) who married Eleanor
Hamer (Abt 1806 Llangurig - 1886 Cyll) the son of Edward Edwards (Abt
1771-1855 Cyll). Edward Edwards is named in the will of his son in law
Zacharias Davies (1781-1838 Cyffiau, Trefeglwys) probated 1839.
I make Eleanor Hamer the dau of Henry Hamer of Delfarch, Llangurig (I have
not sourced my reasons for this adequately) and Ann Lewis (1766 Llangurig -
). Ann Lewis was the dau of Richard Lewis (-1804) by his first wife Mary
(-1769). He left a will as did his second wife Elinor ( - 1823
Bontrhydgaled, Llangurig). In her will Elinor leaves a bequest to Ann the
wife of Henry Hamer. At first "my" had been written into the will but was
then crossed out. This is clearly because Ann was a step daughter, not a
daughter, though she had been under 10 when her father remarried.
Hope that's useful

Hoping to find others researching my family.
Richard DAVIES born Llangurig abt 1812 married Mary Jerman b 1814. Their
eldest son Richard b 1832 Llangurig is my gt gt gt grandfather. Richard
married Mary (surname also Davies, parents Thomas and Elizabeth) and had 10
children. By 1871 the family were living in Bodaioch Hall in Trefeglwys,
raising sheep.
Their eldest daughter Mary Jane married Richard EDWARDS (b 1842 Cyll,
Trefeglwys to Richard EDWARDS and Eleanor HAMER) in 1881 and had 3 children
(Mary Eleanor aka Nelly m Llew MILLS, Richard Asaph, and my gt grandfather
John Ernest). When Richard died in 1897, Mary Jane married his nephew John
Henry Davies and had 2 more children (Gwladys Myfanwy m Charles Ioworth
EVANS and Cecil Edgar m Adeline BREED). This family lived in Talgarth House
in Llanidloes.
Please contact me if you know anything of this family!
