Google john Howells rector new radnor.
the first site I got gave dates,who sponsored him and the fact of deprivation. I have been researching my family history around that time in the area and I have a feeling I have read some where something about him encouraging the dissenters ( my lot ) in some way. However I cannot say this for certain as I can't recall where and there are lots of howells around here any way.

It doesn't make you look dumb, please believe me when i first started researching i found a site with important info on it - but forgot to note  the site down . I have just re-found it 5 years later. Now that is dumb as it was so important and although i noted the facts down i need to read it more than i did the first time as i grew to know more - happy hunting  :)   vic

Thanks Vic1 - know what you mean.

Once you lose a website its the devil to find again.

Also I am revisitig our Enclosure Award after about 10 years.  Did some basic research before but feel I might understand it and the places and people named a bit better now.
