Hello Jeff,
For some reason I did not receive the e-mail you sent to WLS Merionethshire
on 29 March 2004, but I have found it on the WLS Merionethshire Archives--
Many thanks for all the info.
It is interesting to note in the Llangar PR the following baptism--
9 April 1820. Richard s/o David Humphreys (definately my gt-gt grandfather)
and Elizabeth Roberts /farmer of Pen yGeulan, Llandrillo.
From your Llandrillo Church Baptisms info it appears that Richard was
baptised in Llandrillo church as well as Llangar Church !! It is also a
coincidence that another ? David Humphreys was living with his wife Grace in
Pen y Geulan one month earlier.
I have digested all the information that you, Doreen and John have sent me
together with the information from William Humphreys' birth certificate and
have come to the reliable conclusion that Barbara Humphreys (who died in
1965) was a descendant of Thomas Humphreys, born about 1786, and his wife,
Elizabeth Roberts .
TH was living in Llanfawr at the time of his marriage but it is still
possible that he was a brother of my David Humphreys from Llangar born 1783.
DH' father was Humphrey Cadwalladr of Llangar.
TH does not appear in the Llangar PR but he may have been baptised in
Llandrillo.Do your Llandrillo records go back this far?
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,
Elfed .

Elfed,
After sending my e-mail regarding RH a short while ago, I saw your message
acknowledging info from Doreen & John, & noting that you believed that
Robert HUMPHREYS of Llandrillo was the son of David & Elizabeth HUMPHREYS of
Penygeulan. I'm not too sure of this .......
1) Llandrillo Church Baptisms 1813-1836 : [in passing, not sure if
relevant]
134. 19 Mar 1820 : Grace, daughter of David & Anne HUMPHREYS of
Pengeulan
[sic], farmer.
135. * April 1820 : Richard, son of David & Elizabeth HUMPHREYS.
[no
further info given]
2) Llandrillo Church Baptisms 1761-1812 :
27 Nov 1811 (born 21st) : Robert HUMPHREY [sic] son of Thomas & Eliz'th of
Blaen y Cwm
[This seems to link with Robert's marriage details in May 1849]
3) Llandrillo Church Marriages 1720-1825 :
25 Feb 1811 : Thomas HUMPHREYS [sic] bachelor of Llanfawr and Elizabeth
ROBERTS
spinster of this parish, by Lic.
[Links with 1811 baptism above?]
Best wishes
