Edwards Family of Hirnant/Llanrhaiadr
« on: Sunday 18 September 11 07:51 BST (UK) »
I am seeking information about my g-g-grandparents. Robert Edwards was born 1839 in Merionethshire, and his wife Leah Jones in 1845 in Merionethshire. Some time after 1885 they moved to Montgomeryshire and settled near Hirnant. They later moved into Llanrhaiadr where Robert died on 7 Dec 1921 and Leah on 4 Apr 1932. I know very little about them and anything anyone had to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Free BMD shows a marriage for a Robert Edwards and Leah Jones 1868 December quarter, Bala district, volume 11b, page 649.   Bala district includes Llanfor among other parishes.   You could obtain a marriage certificate with this information.

Possibilities of birth registrations.........
Robert Edwards 1838 dec qtr, Corwen dist, 27/357 - Corwen includes Llangwm
Leah Jones 1846 Mar qtr, Ruthin dist, 27/213 - Ruthin includes Llanrhaiadr
This is all speculation however.
It looks as if Rice Edwards was the son's name as there is a birth registration 1873 March qtr, Bala dist, 11b/414 and Bala includes Llandderfel

I am new to this website.  How would I go about getting in touch with bsundeen who first posted on this forum?  Will he automatically be notified that a new message has been posted?

Thanks
