Penygraig Rowlands family

[robert186]

Does anyone have any information about the Rowlands family of Penygraig? They owned and ran a number of mines in the area. There's quite a lot I've managed to find just by googling them, including their involvement in the 1884 mining disaster, but I just wondered if anyone else was related to them and perhaps had any personal information (or even better, photographs) that I haven't been able to find online.

Thanks! 

The names are:
Moses Rowlands (1790-1837), a schoolmaster who married a Mary, born in Caio.
His son Morgan Rowlands, (1816-1884), colliery manager, married a Mary in about 1836.
Morgan's son Moses (1843-abt 1896), colliery manager, married an Ann (possibly Evans) in about 1868.

Sorry none of those names are listed, there are quite a few Rowland/s marriages in the Ystradyfodwg area.

Have you got them on a census years?, so that I can check other names in the family. Please give full census ref if you have got it.

Dear Robert 186,

Don't know when you posted request have only just come across it.
Mary Rowland(s), sister of Moses (Mine owner) was my great great grandmother. Have prepared a 25 page booklet on the Rowlands family that focuses on Mary's family from 1790 to about 1890.
Some detail on Moses and his brothers Morgan and Rowland together with their father Moses (1790-1837).
Welcome to a copy which I could forward as a pdf
