Title: Swedenborgian church Pontardawe - COMPLETED THANK YOU.
Post by: bevbee on Friday 12 January 07 19:19 GMT (UK)
Hi,

Does anyone please know any history of the forming of a Swedenborgian church in Pontardawe in the second half of the 1800s?

I understand that John Harris and others formed the church and he was excommunicated from the Church of England because of this. He was born in 1854 and emigrated in 1891.

Any help gratefully received,

Thank you,

Bev.  :)

Hi Bev,

There's a Link that mentions a Swedenborgian Church in Kelly's Directory for South Wales, but I don't know if its the one that you mean.

I was interested because I used to live near to a Swedenborgian Church in Crystal Palace, London.

Cheers, Romilly.

Hello Bev,
Found your inquiry about John Harris/Swedenborgian Church.  John Harris was my great grandfather and I have much of the American information.  Would love to hear from you!!!!!

Hi sphb,

This info wasn't for me but for my uncle by marriage who has since sadly passed away.

Thanks,

Bev.

Hello again Bev,
Curiousity has me in its grasp and I was wondering if your late uncle might be a Harris descendant by the name of Daniel G. Harris?  I am searching for living Welsh descendants and hoping to make a connection.  Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your quick response.
