If anyone knows anything about the Davies family of Bryn Crug, I'd be more that grateful for anything that you might be able to pass on.
Edward Davies was born around 1792, in or near Bryn Crug. In 1813 he went into the Army and fought with the Coldstream Guards at Waterloo, being discharged from the Army in 1826,. He married twice and the second marriage produced (probably amongst others) my great grandfather Hugh Davies. Hugh married my great grandmother - Jane - in or close to the October quarter 1873. From that came my grandmother Ann Davies, who married my grandfather William Williams (who was a railway guard at the time) in October 1900. Hugh died in 1902 at the age of 50 and is buried in the same grave as my great grandmother in Towyn cemetery. Also in the same grave is Edward himself and also his mother who died around 1843 at the age of 91. William Williams later became a driver on the Cambrian Railway, and died in 1958, my grandmother having passed away of cancer in April 1940. Both are buried in the church of St John the Evangelist at Pool Quay Powys (known before as Montgomeryshire.
Hugh Davies is listed on the 1901 census at a public carrier, though before this he was an agricultural worker.
The family does seem to have stayed around the Towyn area for some generations, so it is likely that I have some living relatives in the area. So, if anyone does have any information of the family please contact me via the site. In turn, I'll pass on any details I have in my possession - which aren't too extensive at the moment.
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help re siblings of gt grandfather Hugh, and any of the famiy who might still be in the area.
