Hello Rucha  :)

Pre-1858 Wills which were proved in the Welsh ecclesiastical courts can be searched and viewed free of charge on the National Library of Wales site:

You're welcome!   :D

It's an excellent resource, and NLW are currently digitising other documents, including newspapers, so watch their website!

Hi again :D, just wanted to say a big thank you to all that have offered advice. I think sometimes I need to accept that you can't always track someone down :'(, Perhaps he would have wanted it this way ;D. Maybe he never went to the states at all- maybe he changed his name and went and lived up the valleys!! :o.
Are there any on line records that I could look up myself concerning the sale of the farm?. Maybe then I'll know when that went ( they were still there in 1872 ) and some more facts hopefully ::).
Hope your not getting too fed up with me. Thanks again :)

I'm not sure you'll find info online. You could ask the record office in Cardiff if they have anything

I'd imagine it might have made the local papers, so you could try here

It was certainly possible to disppear without trace at that time. I''ve lost a greatgrandfather later than that & frankly I don't believe the family story of his death, there's no death reg for a start. Do I trust the memory of someone who was 4 at the time?
Well, no!

I'm taking an interest in this thread as I live in Radyr parish (so am on hand for photos if you'd like some local colour) but have to say that castlegarden website is very useful and interesting!!

Hi, I tried the castle garden site but couldn't find him. I'm saving all these sites though as they are all so great and I never knew about most of them. It's strange I lived in Radyr ( The Green) for almost a year when I went to college in Cardiff in '82. Never thought for one minute it would take up so much of my time now I'm older!.
By the way, I paid for the wills so I could down load them, print them off and spend ages trying to read them ;D. It only cost £3.50 I think and they were almost instantly forwarded. Great service.
I will recommend this site to anyone. Your all so helpful and know so many helpful hints. Thanks again.
