Shon o'Lan/ John Phillips
« on: Thursday 25 August 22 19:55 BST (UK) »
John Phillips, Shon 0'r Lan, was born in 1786. One of his siblings was Abraham Phillips, first son of  Shon's second marriage to Deborah Thomas. He was to have fourteen children in the two marriages (his first wife was Gwenllian Llewellyn who died in 1820) and more than fifty grandchildren. I know he lived in Ystrad Dyfodwg and that he moved to Llan farm around 1820. After a stay there , he moved into the village, then called Pentyrch, now called Gwaelod y Garth, in the 1840s What I can't establish is where he lived in this village. Is it feasible to search this? If so, I would be most grateful. It's the missing bit in his history. He died in  1871.

Thank you for reading. Fingers crossed someone has she answer.  :)

Newspaper articles sometimes mention the street or area where a person lives. If he made the papers for some reason, there might be information there.

Thanks. For some reason, I never quite know where I should post. I have read the directions and still get confused. I will do as you say. Nx

I’ve found no mention of him in the archive press. Thanks for the idea, though.

Thank you for this. While I have read the local history piece I had not seen the Genuki material. I live in what is now Gwaelod y Garth in a cottage previously leased to John Phillips’s son Abraham. I am not familiar with the ‘Hamlet of Garth’ terminology, but understood that John and Deborah moved to the area around the date given there.

Are you able to suggest where an actual address may be found? You have helped me a lot so far. Thank you! :):):) Nx
