Is there anyone on the list that can tell me anything about the Lead Mines or
Lead Miners around Hyssington, Montgomery? Are there any books or other
literature on the subject? In fact, does anyone know if there are any books
or articles on Hyssington and its history? The information is needed for a
project combining family history and social history.
My interest in the area centres on the BAILEY family who farmed in Hyssington
for generations. They became Primitive Methodists providing the land for the
present PM Church in Hyssington built in 1889. The farms associated with
them were Bryn House, Runnice Gate, plus another farm at Hyssington Point.
The BAILEYs married into the BOWEN, MOUNTFORD, HOTCHKISS, SIDES, LAWLEY,
THOMAS and CASEWELL families.
