[osprey]

there's a will on the NLW site from 1842 for "Penry Mathews otherwise known as Gwynne", exciseman of Talley.
He mentions his servant Rachel Jones and his son, Penry, a shoemaker now residing at Neath. Penry Mathews signed the will, Penry junior made his mark.
No mention of a wife or other children.

Looks like a match doesn't it!

death reg for Penry senior matching date on will

Pendry Gwynne sep qtr 1841 Llandovery vol 26 pg 369

He's going to be interesting to follow, varying surname and first name that transcribers find a problem.
