Dear Sue I'm a recent member of this list and have corresponded with you briefly about my Llannon Mainwarings. The Llannon Mainwarings are all probably inter-related but as yet I don't know how my lot may link in with yours. I haven't traced as far back as you yet, but in brief this is the info I have in case you or any other Mainwaring researchers find a connection. My Mainwarings lived at Brynteg, outside Tumble in Llannon at least from 1821-1851. A "c" in front of any dates below indicates that I have no birth record for that apart from the censuses. As yet I have virtually nothing from parish records on any of this family. EDWARD MAINWARING (c 1788-1851), farmer and collier, married MARY WILLIAMS (c 1799-1863/5) in Llannon in 1815. Their children were: Thomas (1821-) John (c 1826-1881) moved to Swansea, married Mary?? Mary (c 1827-) Rachael (c 1832-) Daniel (c 1837-1894) moved to Swansea, married Mary Perkins Robert (1838-1917) moved to Swansea, married Catherine Williams After Edward Mainwaring's death in 1851, his widow Mary nee Williams, moved to Swansea and lived with her son Robert. The story of her sons continues in the coal mines of Swansea and the Rhondda Valley. I hope that we can eventually find the links between our Llannon Mainwarings and would welcome information from anyone about the parentage of Edward Mainwaring and Mary Williams, or details from any of the parish records for their offspring. Also does anyone know what happened to their two daughters: Mary who disappeared from the records after the 1841 census (there are several possible deaths for her and one possible marriage on Free BMD between 1841 and 1851): and Rachael who disappeared after the 1851 census (I can find no trace of her in the 1861 census or on Free BMD between 1851 and 1861).
