I am trying to see the baptism page for Trostre(y) for 1745 - according to FreeReg, there is a Richard Jones baptised at Trostre on 6th October 1745 with  parents John and Mary - but when I look at the Trostre registers on Find my Past there appear to be no records for that decade.  Any ideas??  Any other original source?

Thanks

My Great Great grandfather was John Davies (1834 - 1883).  He moved from Blaenresgair farm, Llansawel to Merthyr in 1851 and was landlord of the Crown Inn Merthyr from 1856 until his death in 1883.
His father was John Davies (1809-1891) - a Llansawel farmer - who had 8 children - David, John, Mary Jane Elizabeth James Margaret and Daniel. Of those, as well as John, I know that David and Elizabeth also lived in Merthyr. e.g. Elizabeth first married a David Williams, and then remarried John Price Lewis one of the printers in Merthyr.
John Davies (1809- 1891) was the eldest child of James David (about 1780 - 1867);  James other children were David, Jane, Daniel, James, Ann and Mary.  James senior was a deacon of Bethel chapel in LLansawel and is buried in the graveyard there; he died at Ffosgotta on 1/3/1867.
James David's origins are a bit unclear / from the age on his death certificate, he would be born in 1780 - the most likely relevant trace I can find is a baptism record in 1783 that names the  father of James David as Lewis David.
I have checked the Bishops transcripts at Aberystwyth as well as the Llansawel parish register (which starts 1751) but cannot clarify it further.
The same Christian names keep coming up in each generation which makes it quite difficult to track things.

Sorry.  I have looked but haven't found any proof (one way or the other) to add to what I have already mentioned to you about my thoughts on Henry Clements.

 :)Thank you very much.
 I hadn't seen the St Tydfils' burial details nor the newspaper details of the change of licence.  My ancestors were licensees of various Merthyr pubs - I knew that Richard Jones was at the Rising sun in the 1840s but didnt know the date of change of licence.
