Wm.Howells was living in Lfhnbran at the times of the banns. Margaret James was the d/o John James & was chr. at Cefnarthen 1810, aged 2y 3m. This couple had 6 dau. & 2sons. One daughter died before chr. 1 son died in Ballart, Australia, the other son was a blacksmith at Godrewaungoch. There is a M.I (23.8 in my survey) at Brychgoed. John the blacksmith was the gt.gd.father of Mrs Thomsd, nee Howells, Bryncoch.

Treat the Theo.Jones Powell tree with caution. He gives few, if any, dates and I cannot always match all of his with the church registers. The tree on p.252(vol.4?) can be used but I have detected errors-he used gravestones at Defynog Church for some help.

Will check reconstructions for the Morgan Morgan thing.
The connection with Abersenny is by marriage?, will check my recons.  I am not confident that Walter Powell family is linked with that of Cwmpadest, will check my records . Powell is a very frequent name in S.W.Brecs-most unconnected. All Welsh surnames were patronymic up to ??? Garfydd

My gd.mother was a caretaker in Cwmpadest in the 1920s-1940s, for Miss Powell W.S.Mare.  David Lewis farmed at the time. I have a lot of data on the family. A will of ca 1700 divides up a large estate in Defynog & the Powells got Cwmpadest, Cwmnewynydd, Gochgarreg & Pentreucha. My cousins now farm Cwm---& Goch---. I have covered all the areas which you mention. Much of my data comes off the deeds of Pentreucha.
Elinor 1836 left a will. My surveys for Defynog P.Ch. & Horeb Cray contain graves for this family. The family has a Rev. who seems to have been without a church! This email comes from my local library.
Cefncoedycymmer is not in Defynog, it is on the N.edge of the coalfield close to Merthyr Tydfil.
