Hi Barbara,
Yes it is fun sometimes. I don't think there's a connection with Thomas Howells afterall. My Thomas was born in Shropshire 1819, married Martha Watkins in Llangattock 1844. They had several children, my grandfather George was born in Llangattock 1852 before Thomas and Martha moved to Blaenafon.

I've been trying to connect with other branches of Howells for many years without success.

Best Wishes

Hi,
Thanks for your help, will send for the birth certificate you found reference to. It would be great to find him on an earlier census. George has been a bit tricky to trace because there are no details within the family regarding his parents or siblings. Can't find his wife's maiden name either.
Thanks again
Kind regards

Hello There,
I am searching for information on a George Howells from Brecon. He was an iron puddler on census returns. Some census show his birthplace as Crickhowell but 1901 has birthplace Blaenavon. He was born 1852, there is little info on family,apart from a brother called William and sister Mary Jane. George is a boarder in Llanelly Brecon on 1871 census. 1891 living in Middle rd Swansea occupation Puddler. in 1901 he is in Sheffield with his wife Mary and their family:Thomas George Howells, Edith Howells, Lavinia Howells, William Howells,Mary Jane Howells and David Howells who was killed in action in WW1. Does anyone have any info on this branch of Howells family? All requests to date have hit a brickwall.
