Hi Kelly, Looking at 1851 Census I notice your Thomas Richard was born Ystradfellte, Brecon. Perhaps more info on him can be found there. Not sure what you are exactly looking for and what info you have. Syljun

Hi, Not sure if you are still researching Thomas Richard of Ystradgynlais and if you found any info. on him, particulary if he owned a mine but  a family member of a Richard family of Ystradgynlais has been researching same family to see of any connection. Would be interested if you found any info. on him.
Regards, Syljun

I also have Ivar the Boneless in my tree d. 873.  I was given an extensive Family Tree a few years ago on the Welsh side going back to one line of Radbard of Russia but unfortunately no mention of brothers. I did try and confirm a lot of it but gave up after a while.
Good luck, Syljun

P.S. I did enjoy the series "The Vikings".

Hi Roger, I have the Glamorgan F.H.S. booklet and a few of surrounding Villages. All in alphabetical order. Evan just below Edward.
I believe according to wikipedia that John is an anglised name for Evan but I have both these names in several of welsh branches as brothers so would not think it was a second baptism.
Thank you for your time and interest, perhaps one day I'll find an answer. Syljun

Hi osprey, Thanks for pointing Evan bap 1893. He could be the one married to Sarah.If so he is not mine.
This has been a long standing search. The only one of children born to Thomas and Frances Hopkin I cannot account for, bap 31/10/1802 together on same day as his brother Edward at St. Illtyd,Llantwit Major.
I have the 1851 Census of Glamorgan on disc and have been through every Hopkin(s) household without finding him and have not found a death, although brother Edward died two months after baptism. I am thinking Evan was older than new born when baptised as it was common for children to be baptised together.
Will have to put him on back burner again. So frustrating.
Thank you for replying, Syljun

Thanks Osprey, Once again he is laughing. Yes he was married to Sarah. Every Census had a different birthplace but after years of searching I still come back to him.
Thank you for your help. Syljun

Trying to pin down Evan Hopkin b. 1794. Particularly interested in his birthplace. I know that he is buried in Gileston.He died in 1880. Have searched for years and hope to bring to end. 
Many thanks, Syljun
