Carmarthenshire Completed Requests / Re: Bronhelem and Hafdre

There isn't much information in the book about Bronhelem, but there is a picture of Rhys Jones, and Gwladys standing outside Bronhelem. I have scanned it onto my computer but I am unable to load it on to this site. I've loaded it Ancestry.co.uk though. You will be able to view it if you give me your e-mail address, then I can invite you to look at it, if you would like.

Rhys Jones' father Thomas Jones, was a brother to Rees Jones who is my great-great-great grandfather! Rhys Jones was one of 19 children, his father married twice. Thomas Jones went to Hafdre when  he married lived there at 1871 census with Magdalen. By 1881 he had moved to Bronhelem because Hafdre was falling down, so Hafdre became the cowsheds!

He married twice, 19 children
16 born in Hafdre
3 born in Bronhelem

Was married to Anne 1861, but was married to Magdalen in 1871 (who was their servant in 1861).

There is much written about the family in the book, 'Cymdogaeth Soar-y-Mynydd'. In our book, Gwladys has made many corrections and also given my grand-mother two or three pages of additional information.

You are quite right the Nantllwyd boys are a great source of information, and I also visited them last month.

Thank you for your information. Since I posted my question I've found Bronhelem and driven past it! The family were actually called Jones, the family moved from there to Tregaron in the 1950s, and the daughter Gwladys lived to be 100 and pasted away last year.

Thank you, but after much more searching we have found it in Caron Uwch Clawdd, although it is at least 10 miles from Tregaron!
Thank you for your help

Does anyone know what parish or county Bronhelem or Hafdre appears in the census 1841-1901? I know it is up near Abergesyn, but I'm not sure which county it is it.

Thanks
