Author Topic: 1851 Census Talgarth William Powell COMPLETED with thanks (Read 12490 times)

MarMnkly · « **on:** Tuesday 16 June 09 21:48 BST (UK) »

Please can you help find some information from the 1851 census?
I am looking for William Powell, born about 1821 in Llanspyddid and his family - wife Gwenllian, daughter Jennet born about 1845 and son Richard born about 1850.
I have just downloaded the information from the 1911 census for the son Richard [above] and he gives his place of birth as Tre*** Farm, Breconshire. Unfortunately I am finding it really difficult to read and I am hoping that the place listed on the 1851 census is the same place?

Hopefully

Thanks Ricky

I'm going to try to post an image of the address from the 1911 census to see if I can get help making it out.

Ricky, you may have helped

I'm not very good at uploading images, but I wonder if the place of birth in the top line reads Breconshire Tredus [and above it 'tan']
I can read Pwllgloyw and Garthbrengy easily below!

Any ideas?

Hi MarMnkly

Looks like it to me, I know on the 1861 his father was a farmer, do you have the census for the 1861

Hi Ricky

yes thanks; I first started on this in 2005, but got stuck so left them alone. Here is the previous rootschat link for the same family

Hopefully I can add a bit more into this side of the family now

thanks again

Tredustan Hall OS map reference is SO 13903240. Thought you might like to see this photo (photographer: Humphrey Bolton) of the house. Not only is the house quite ancient, but there is also a medieval motte and bailey adjacent.
