I'm trying to locate a place called Cwmgynfun or Cwmgyn Fair, or something
similar. It's probably located near Glasbury, Breconshire. The name appears
in the IGI and on a gravestone:
1. International Genealogical Index,
www.familysearch.com.
Thomas Williams and Anne Adams, married 21 Jun 1777 Glasbury, Brecon Wales.
Another entry for this marriage says the bride and groom were "of Cwmgynfun,
Brecon, Wales."
2. Pen-yr-Heol Baptist Meeting House, graveyard near Glasbury, Brecon.
The following inscriptions appear on one stone:
In the memory of Hannah daughter of Thomas Morgan ??? in the parish of
Llanigon. She departed this life February the 9th 1796 age 3 years.
In the memory of William son of Thomas Williams by Ann his wife who departed
this life April the 26th 1795 age 13 years late of Cwingyn Fair.
The IGI also has an entry for William's christening: William Williams,
christened 22 Nov. 1782, Glasbury, Brecon, Wales, died 26 Apr. 1795, a son
of Thomas Williams and Anne Adams.
A Cwmgwyn is located just east of Llandrindod Wells, but that doesn't seem
like the right place.
Is there a Cwmgwyn Farm near Glasbury? Thanks for any help.
