Hello Listers, Just sent you a query concerning RevEdward Harries of Llandysilio but have now found him under UK and US Directories 1680 -1830 as a curate of Llandysilio beetween 1801 and 1825. He was also a bard who wrote in Welsh and had his works published at Carmarthen in 1824. Many thanks Yvonne Evans

Are you suggesting that this was a different person to the Rev Edward Harries whom the 1836 Ecclesiastical Directory states became vicar of Llandysilio in 1824? http://tinyurl.com/y99qp2z. Or the Rev Edward Harries MA, of Llandysilio, Narberth, who was a committee member of the Cambrian Archaeological Society in 1847? http://tinyurl.com/yccv9oy Or are you leaving that particular question open? Although the latter reference suggests that he was a graduate, he doesn't seem to be mentioned in the published lists for either Oxford or Cambridge (not that these are invariably complete or invariably accurate). Maybe he had attended a different university. There might be more clues to his career either in the Llandysilio parish records, or in the St David's diocesan records, or in the other proceedings of the Cambrian Archaeological Society. There could be various reasons why you didn't find him in the 1841 census, e.g. accidental omission from the schedule, indexing errors, absence from the county at the date when the census was taken, or the holding of an additional post elsewhere.
