William Davies Thomas?
« on: Friday 16 September 11 15:42 BST (UK) »
Hi

I'm trying to look up a William Davies Thomas born about 1699 in Hendrevawr, Glamorgan, died 1738.  I know that he married Mary Williams but I don't know when or wether they had any children.  If any one can find any information on William it would be much appreciated as I'm really struggling.   ???

Hello  :)

Hendre Vawr (or Fawr) is in the Parish of Llangynwyd. Swansea Record Office have some information about transactions relating to the property. for example:

NAS C 9/11> Mortgage for £220 dated 18 Mar. 1662; (i) William Thomas of Llangynwyd, gent. and Sarah his wife, and Llewellyn William of Llangeinor, yeoman and Felice his wife, to (ii) Thomas Powell of Bettws, gent.; Lands called Yr hendre vawr, Y lliest vach, Tyle Crwn, the three acres in a close called Parke yr wytherw, part of Y wayn Rhydd, all in Llangynwyd parish, and fields at Ynys Nawdre in St Brides Minor

Perhaps you can trace the property transfer records?

Kind Regards
