Montgomeryshire / Thomas Alexander WILLIAMS (1868-1922) Brynpennod or The Pwll
« on: Saturday 05 April 14 05:58 BST (UK)  »
Hi my GGF THOMAS ALEXANDER WILLIAMS appears twice in the 1871 Census.
Brynpennod, Llansantffraid and Pool, Montgomeryshire, Wales. EDWARD WILLIAMS (34 - farmer of 39 acres - born Llanbadarn) is listed with his wife Elizabeth (29 - born Kinnerley) dau. Selina Williams (6 mths - born Llansantffraid) son THOMAS ALEXANDER (2 - born Pwll) and Samuel Lloyd (15 - domestic servant - born Blod.)
The Pwll, Maesbrook Issa, Wern Las, Parish of Kinnerley. THOMAS JONES (53 - head - farmer of 40 acres employing self and son) is listed with his wife Elizabeth (60) their 2 unmarried children Martha 21 - domestic servant) and Thomas (15). Plus grandson THOMAS ALEXANDER WILLIAMS (2)
That is he appears on two 1871 Census! But I still don't know where Brynpennod or The Pwll are located. Does anyone know them? Are they the names of farm properties? Were they near each other? A district map with them on would be really helpful.

Montgomeryshire / Miriam Evans (born June 1872 Bryn-y- hedrydd, Hirnant
« on: Saturday 05 April 14 05:28 BST (UK)  »
Hello. In my tree there is a Miriam Evans (born June 1872 Bryn-y- hedrydd, Hirnant, Montgomeryshire, Wales. I have all her census records and her 1912 marriage certificate. But we also have a photo of her parents Thomas (c1832) and Mary Evans (c1835) which she brought out to Australia when she emigrated in 1912. At least we think it must be them. Anyone related to this particular Thomas and Mary Evans? They had a large family all born in Hirnant between 1860 and 1880.

Radnorshire Lookup Requests / William Williams of Llwyngwilim, Township of Bronllys, Llanbister
« on: Saturday 05 April 14 04:57 BST (UK)  »
Seeking any information (other than 1841 and 1851 census) on WILLIAM WILLIAMS of Llwyngwilim, Township of Bronllys, Llanbister. Particularly trying to prove whether he is the father of DAVID WILLIAMS (c1808-c1874 of Llanbadarn Fynydd - see previous post). There seems to be a lot of William Williams in the area. He may have married twice. First to a Sarah (Pryce?) in Llanbister in 1789 (mother of David and his other children?) and then again to an Elizabeth (is it to Elizabeth Bufton at Beguildy? in 1816 or 1826 - depending on which record I access). Would love to know when and where William and Elizabeth Williams are buried and whether they are in fact even in my line. Edward Wilding Williams (1836-1914) son of DAVID WILLIAMS (c1808- c1874) and JANE WHILDING (c1806- c1883).

Radnorshire Lookup Requests / David Williams (c1808-c1874) living Llanbadarn Fynydd
« on: Saturday 05 April 14 04:00 BST (UK)  »
Any suggestions on where these places might have been?
In 1841 Census David Williams (35 - agricultural labourer) is listed with his wife Jane (30) and four children: Sarah (9) William (7) Edward (5) and John (3). Location is given as Main House, Parish of Llanbadarn Fynydd. In 1851 Census David is located at Great Main, LF. In 1861 at Middle Main, LF. In 1871 at Little Main, LF. and his place of death in 1874 is listed as The Main, Llanbadarn Fynnyd. Obviously variations on a theme but where were they? It sounds like they are in a village - not a farm. But how do I find them?
I have looked up Llanbadarn Fynydd on Visions of Britain and old maps websites and tried to work out where they might be by neighbours on census - but still no luck. Actually I would really appreciate any help whatsoever with any non census records about David Williams and his wife Jane (nee Whilding) and their family. Especially when and where they are buried.
