Tomorrow night, on 1st. December, on BBC Wales at 7.30 p.m. the second programme in the new series of 'Coming Home', will feature the BBC presenter Sian Williams, whose family can be traced back to the Rhondda in Glamorgan. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00wbg9p Apparently, there will be reference to William DAVIES of Cwmsaerbren (Ystradyfodwg) in the programmme. If you can't get BBC Wales, the programme can be seen on http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ by U.K. residents. When I first saw mention of this forthcoming programme, I rooted around our family papers and found a detailed 24-page booklet on the Trust Accounts of Dr. David DAVIES, deceased, which is dated 25th March 1935. Dr. David DAVIES was the son of William DAVIES above. There is a very distant link in my husband's family tree to this DAVIES family. Dr. David DAVIES was the brother-in-law of Ann LLEWELLYN, who was the sister of Llewellyn LLEWELLYN, the husband of Ian's 3x great-aunt, Sarah LLEWELLYN nee EVANS (1823-1909), the landlady of the Baglan Arms Hotel, Treherbert, Glamorgan. Sarah LLEWELLYN was the sister-in-law of Benjamin JEREMIAH, Ian's 2x great-grandfather. So, what has this all to do with the Bristol_and_Somerset area? Well, Benjamin's father another Benjamin JEREMIAH, who was a bachelor of Caerleon, Monmouthshire, and Jane LEWIS, a spinster of the parish of Walcot St. Swithin, were married, by licence, on 30th. January 1811 at Walcot St. Swithin, Bath. You can make all kinds of links if you try hard enough! -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
