A parish called "Pantygamell"?

[jwynne]

Can any kind soul please help me find a parish called "Pantygamell" (or something that looks like that)?

It appears in a Non-Conformist Births And Baptisms listing (attached) of the 1817 and 1814 baptisms of Sion & Ann JONES, the children of Evan and Jane JONES [Calvinistic Methodist Bethel Chapel in Llanidloes].

The father's parish is listed as Trefeglwys, the "Parent's parish" (I assume this was the mother's parish) looks like "Pantygamell".

Thanks.

If he was a miller, Pant-y-gammell would be the name of his mill in Trefeglwys.

There is a brief reference in 'The London Gazette':- http://www.rootschat.com/links/01oqo/

"BY order of the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors– the petition of Evan Jones, late of Pant-y-gammell, in the parish of Trefeglwys, in the county of,,,"

I looked at the https://www.old-maps.co.uk/ and a few mills are named but some just say 'corn mill'

Brilliant!

I was actually looking for an Evan JONES who was a weaver, rather than a miller, and your link proves it was the right guy.

FYI: I made a slight error in my original posting the "Parent's parish" of "Pantygamell" was actually "Parent's residence".

Thank you so much.

I found another reference on the National Library site which states 'Pantygamell near Staylittle', not far from Trefeglws

I think it may be on the old maps with a slightly different spelling - pant-y-gamallt
