Title: Thomas Family, Cynheidre and Surrounding Areas, Llanelly (Llanelli)
Post by: stesim58 on Saturday 22 April 17 13:46 BST (UK)

Looking for other descendants of the Thomas family from Glyn Hamlet in Llanelly,
especially the Cynheidre/Tyr Emmanuel areas. In the very early/mid 1800s, there was a John Thomas,
, another John Thomas and a Thomas Thomas. Connected families include Rees, Evans and Morris. Thank you.

In 1841 Margaret Edmunds is living at Herberdeg Farm, William Edmunds at Cae'r Brenin...in 1851/61 there's a swap!
Edmunds' also lived at Ystodwen farm Mynydd Sylen.
One Edmunds married into the Rees family of Croesnant Farm, Five Roads.... living relatives around.

Some of the Edmunds' emigrated to USA , another branch into the Law (one being knighted).

There is an alleged link between the Edmunds family and Lucy Walter (mistress to Charles II and mother to the Duke of Monmouth).
