Hi Ken et al,
My John Price [the family also uses Pryce and Pryse] is causing me problems
as well. He appears on the 1861 Census aged 28, born in Nantmel.
According to his Marriage Certificate his father was a Benjamin Pryse who
was a farmer. His age on the certificate ties in with the census details.
I found a birth for a John Price in 1833 at Nantmel but he was not a son of
a Benjamin. I have tried to find Benjamin on the 1841 census when John was
about eight but there is no one who fits.
The Price family moved between Cwmdeuddwr, Rhayader and Llangurig in
Montgomeryshire but a search there hasn't turned up Benjamin or John on the
1841 Census.
The Prices in Radnorshire seem particularly difficult to unravel. I have
also "lost" a Joseph Bound in Llanbadarn near Nantmel. He was born about
1810 and was the son of a Joseph Bound. I too would welcome any
suggestions.
Regards,
Margaret Harvey

John Price is at the head of one of my Price branches and has been
causing
me problems.
Anne Lewis probable mother of John Price b. Knucklas 1810 Census (PReg.
Beguildy c. 29 Oct 1809 /Anne Price) married John Price on 19/Feb or
Mar/1803 at Llangunllo.
At NLW. the PReg. of Llangunllo does not show this marriage and NLW. did
not have a non-conformist register. The suggestion that it maybe was a
non-conformist marriage partially inspires this query.
Examining the IGI Llangunllo records I observe there are two batch/film
numbers quoted (7328901 and 7412911). The 911 series seems to be
christenings only with the relative column showing women, while the
901 series shows both marriages and christenings (the relative column
lists
both parents).
I have read somewhere that sometimes only the female parent was recorded,
as both sets of records cover the same time frame, were there two
churches/chapels in Llangunllo (St Cynllo's and *?*) or is there another
explanation?
I've been stuck on this for a couple of years, so any assistance in
finding
John's (1810) ancestors would be most welcome. John had moved to
Old
Radnor
by 1841.
Thanks
