Hi everyone,
These are my main areas of research, all of them spending their lives in the
counties that now make up Powys. Please note, not a Jones to be seen!!
BOUND Llangurig, Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire, Rhayader, Nantmel, St.
Harmon, Radnorshire
DAVIES Llanganten, Breconshire.
EVANS Llandinam, Mont.
HAMER Llandinam, Mont. Llananno, Llanbadarn Fynydd, Rad.
LEWIS Llanafan Fawr, Llanwrthwl Breconshire, Rhayader, St. Harmon, Rad. (My
Lewis ancestors also went by the names Simon and John owing to use of
patronymics)
MILLS Llandinam, Llangurig, Mont. Nantmel, Llananno, Rad.
POWELL Llanafan Fawr, Brec.
POWELL (different line) Abbeycwmhir, Nantmel, Rad.
PREES Llanafan Fawr, Brec.
PRICE Lanwrthwl, Brec. Rhayader, Rad.
They all lived on dwellings in rural areas of Mid Wales. The surprising
thing is that they nearly all moved northwards from farm to farm with
Llandinam/Llangurig/Llanidloes being the furthest north.
Regards,
Margaret Harvey
Hi,
Just adding my names - not quite sure where in Wales may of be in the north.
John Joseph and Sarah Anne Johnson (nee Bristow) - children John Francis Johnson and Catherine Johnson. John Joseph died before 1916, Sarah, John Francis and Catherine left for New Zealand, shortly after his death.

Hannah Maria ROBERTS born Llanyblodwel SAL 1882 moved to Llanystumdwy as a
child. She married Richard Emmanuel Pritchard from Abererch on Nov 14th.
1912. They had three sons that I am aware of, David, Thomas and William. They
disappeared somewhere in Caernarvonshire but there could be a link to
Criccieth as I remember visiting there as a child. Hannah Maria (pronounced
Moriah) had a brother David who married Hannah BORMAN and another brother
James ROBERTS b 1886 Llanymynech SAL (not found him either), and my
Grandfather Walter Wynn Roberts.
Can anybody please claim this family or alternatively tell me where my great
Aunt Hannah Maria went to. Its a long wait for the 1901 census and I am
getting very impatient!!
Keith Roberts.
I tend to forget that I am subscribed to this list as it`s generally very
quiet. So, shamed as I am by all you scribes emerging from the woodwork I
will now endeavour to stick some names up.
The search starts with Edward ROBERTS b 1763, Llanymynech married Elisabeth
JONES b 1764 from Llanrhaedr ym Mochnant. (Her parents are Thomas and
Catherine JONES) and some time after marriage they moved to Llanyblodwel
where the action starts.
Catherine b 1795, Anne b 1798, Edward b 1801, John b 1807.
Edward ROBERTS is the gggrandfather 1801-1878 Llanyblodwel. He married Hannah
LEWIS 1808-1892 from West Felton, (parents John and Mary LEWIS).They
succesfully reared 11 out of 12 children:
John 1834-1909 married Catherine OWEN 1856-1926 from LLangyniew (parents John
and Jane OWEN nee JONES) farmed at Adeney Manor, Edgmond SAL,
Edward 1834 tenant farmer/miller at Llwyntidman, Llanymynech in 1881, lost
him after then.
Mary Hannah 1837-1911 married William WHITFIELD and farmed at Abertanat Hall,
Llanyblodwel.
Thomas 1841-1919 married Hannah Maria Jones from Llanfechain(previous
marriage WILLIAMS) He move with his family to Llanystumdwy in 1889.
Catherine Elisabeth 1843-1927. Spinster schoolteacher at Llanymynech.
Sarah Jane b 1845 married Richard WALL.
Anne 1846-1936 spinster (stayed at home to look after her mam, bless her)
William b 1848 went to London to seek his fortune. Was a drapers assistant in
1881! I don`t think he made the big time!
James b 1851 married Anne OWEN 1850-1928 from Llangyniew (Catherine OWEN`s
sister).
Twins Maria and Martha b 1853. Maria married Robert EDWARDS, Martha remained
a spinster.All the above were born Llansanfraidd ym Mechain, Mont.
Thomas ROBERTS is the ggrandfather, and married to Hannah Maria. They move
with their family to Llanystumdwy in 1889 but left Edward ROBERTS b 1874 and
Thomas W. ROBERTS b 1868 behind in or around Llansanfraidd (they can`t be
found in the 1891 census for the area so must have moved on) and I am
desperately looking for them. Edward was born in Llanymynech and Thomas W.
(His middle name could possibly be either Wynn or Walter) was born in
Oswestry. Does anyone recognise any of my ancestors please?
So sorry for the pathetic plea for recognition but I must find those long
lost cousins befor the sands of time overtake them and me!
Regards, Keith ROBERTS, Llangwstenin, Conwy.
Thought I'd check in as well. Searching Richard HUGHES of Caernarvon, came
to US and settled in Ohio sometime around 1870. Married Mary THOMAS, family

girl.

Family believed to have lived in a small village called Bryngwran
HUGH HUGHES-----relationship to this family is unknown...was witness at
Thomas David Hughes wedding on April 23, 1910
WILLIAM ROBERTS: born c. 1851 or 1852 -Machynlleth, Montgomery,Wales
Occupation listed as a Tailor Journeyman Death date unknown....but do know
he was deceased in 1910 at the time of daughters wedding.
JANE ROBERTS,nee ROWLANDS.....b. 1851 or 1852 in Portmadoc , Wales

ELLIS ROBERTS.....born in Portmadoc, Wales in 1878
MARGARET ROBERTS....born in Portmadoc, Wales in 1874
ELLEN JANE ROBERTS....born in Portmadoc, Wales in 1880
Would very much like to find the marriage of Thomas and Ellen Hughes., nee
Jones ...to one another. Think this would provide some clues as to my
HUGHES....AND JONES .
Know that this information is scanty at best...but is all I have to go on.
Would appreciate anything you can find out about any of the above listed.
Thanks so much for your offer to help.....I appreciate it. Living in the
United States makes researching Hughes, Jones, and Roberts very hard.. Just
recently have acquired the Rowland branch of my tree.
Thanks Again for whatever help you can be to me.
Regards,
Lynn
Here I am, too. My grandmother, Jane Elizabeth Roberts, and her Roberts family were all together on Llandudno census in 1881 (she was 2). In 1891 only Jane, her mother and sister, marianna, were at the same
address. I seem to have lost the rest of them. I know where Jane was after 1911, but the rest are lost. Also closely connected to the Owen family of Llandudno, with a marriage to an Edwards and a Hughes. Connected
also to Eglwys Rhos area of Llandudno. I got busy and have not been working on family history, but am hoping to get back to it again really soon. My main goal is to find living relatives, but failing that to fill in
some blanks in my history.

Hello Brian
Yes you are still getting through - I got your message so it looks like
there might be 2 of us on the site :-)
I thought I would take this opportunity to post some interests.
I was wondering if anyone has any connection to a William SPARKES born
Norfolk, England who married a Sarah ? from Wales. Sarah didn't like living
in Norfolk so they moved back to Wales to Nantemole, Rhonda. As far as I
know they had 3 children including Eddie who was or is living in Letchworth.
Also if any one is researching PARNELLS or WILLIAMSONS I would love to hear
from you as I believe there is some family connections with Wales.
Hope to hear from you all soon
Hazel

Dear listers,
A friend of mine (Geoffrey White) who has helped me
several times regarding my own research (natural
father John Phillips) has been a lot more successfull
with his own family tree, which seems to be missing
one last branch - namely, the Welsh side. So I offered
to post this on some Welsh lists.
Here goes:
He's looking for a Sarah Evans possibly born around
1813, perhaps in Wellington, Salops.
She married William Bennett, born 1813 in Wellington
and they had whom he thinks is their first child,
William, in 1844, so they could have been married up
to one day before the birth. The chances are that they
were married much earlier, though and William was not
the first child. (31 might have been a bit old to get
married and have a first child.)
Anybody out there recognise Sarah Evans, I think I've
seen her name on a couple of messages, but was not
searching for her then.
THANKS a lot,
Jonathan Hutchings (born, John Hugh Morgan Phillips)
Researching Albert JOHN Phillips, born Cardiff 1923/4.
ps: I have a photo of my father if anyone might be
interested - who was around in Cardiff in the
1940's/50's. I can't send it in to the list, but just
email me ALL those PHILLIP's out there!
