Hi Caio Researcher,
Yes that is the same place. The house is privately owned and he does not like trespassers due to the house being in disrepair and dangerous (I won't say anything!). As you would have looked to the Edwinsford, to the right is the river Cothi and all the houses which once served the mansion are located over the river (there is a bridge which the family and workers would have used yards from the mansion and the Farmhouse). All these houses are private residence but the Dairy Cottage is a holiday let and is now for sale, you can take a look at the house on-line. Search: Dairy Cottage, Llansawel. I will look through my paperwork to see if there is any reference to your family. Most of the letters i believe date back earlier, but I will look and will ask some of the locals who's families have lived here for years. It may take some time but I will get back to you, however I also have an ancestor who was illegitimate and lived in London. From what we worked out (some is factual and some guess work) a young girl worked in a stately home, became pregnant from one of the family members, she had a daughter. The family was looked after for quite some time after. My grandmother remembers some packages of food and clothing and money was sometimes sent, she remembers that it was from a Lord and Lady and packages was driven to the house by private drivers! Due to what was then a shameful and embarrassing act it was not talked about or documented, so we have never been able to have any evidence of that had happened. Your story sounds similar to mine, sometimes the mysteriousness adds to the drama of it all. I hope you have more success with your family tree than I did.
