thanks for sending the image - I am going to have a drive up to Tredustan on the weekend to get a feel for the place. The house looks quite grand, I expect my ancestors lived in the little house next door

Please could you give me a bit more help 
I have just looked back in some old notes from 5 0r 6 years ago, and found a reference [that may now make sense] to my families address in 1861 as possibly being at a place called Tredustan Mill? RG9/4223 [Hay Talgarth] Fol 53

Is anyone able to look at the 1861 census to see if Tredustan Mill is written down as the residence?

Hi
They were living next door to it on the 1861, a William Davies and his wife Mary and son Randell? were living at the mill

Hi Ricky

I think I can locate it now from googling Tredustan Mill, which seems to be a ruin on the River Llynfi. It may have been a farmhouse if Richard's father was farming 16 acres and may still be there.

This is so good 

thanks again

Aerial view of Tredustan, not sure which is the Hall though, can you see a motte and bailey

Hi MarMnkly

Here's an old map of the place, was trying to work out if the mill was on the bottom lefthand side

I can't be sure what's where either - so I'm off to look on Sunday!! and will come back to say where it really is 

lets hope the road is wider than it looks on the maps

Really interesting link to the maps, I ve not seen that before, I can spot the motte and bailey on  this one, `tumulus` so it looks like the Hall is just below the name  Tredustan.
