    3. Melanie, The Owens of Orielton descended from Hugh Owen of Anglsey died out in the main line in the mid 1700's and the estate was inherited by a great nephew (his fathers sisters son) who adopted the name Owen. He was the last of the name at Orielton which was sold to pay off his debts in the mid 1850's. The Orielton Estate was extensive and the owned several properties in the Fishguard area. The Owen you have traced, may be descended from either the Original, or Named Changed Owens, and it might a small part of the original estate, they managed to hang on to. Anne, The Owen Family were at Glog from the 1650's. The first was Thomas Owen, Rector of Llanfyrnach, but his ancestry is unknown. John and Thomas were the favourite names, but also as you say in the 1800's Arthur, Stephen appear, together with Hugh and William. Some of these went to New Zealand. The last of the line at Glog were two sisters daughters of a John Owen who if I remember correctly was the son of William Owen. One of the two sisters was Anna Louisa Owen but where the Louisa comes from I don't know. Her mother was by Grandmothers sister, and I know it does come from that side of the family.

However my Owen originated in Mynachlogddu Pembrokeshire. It seems they were very religious and attend the Penygroes Independant chapel at Whitchurch parish near Crymych. John Owen of Glogue farm was very influential in commencing the Whitland to Cardigan railway - the "Cardi Bach" This was in the mid 19th century. I believe he owned the quarry at Glogue(Llanfyrnach) and wanted the slates transported. Have you any connection with Owen of Glogue farm? I have no idea if the Glogue Owen branch were descended form Owen of Orielton Yvonne Evans From: melanie stark To: dyfed@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, 3 March 2014, 17:36 Subject: [Dyfed] Owen family Pembrokeshire Dear listers. while doing some research on my great great grandmother’s siblings I’ve found that her half sister married an Alfred Owen who it appears descended from Hugh Charles Owen JP who lived in Goodwick. Further research had taken me much further back and I’m wondering if anyone on the list is researching that tree – which I believe connects to the Owens of Orielton? I’ve found various references to Sir Hugh Owen 1803-1891 but am curious as to why his son lived in Goodwick and it looks like his son Alfred married the miller’s daughter Alice. Any pointers gratefully received.

    3. Thank you for these replies. I am unware of any connection to Glouge with MY Owen family, but it makes very interesting reading from a family research and local history points of view.I did read that John Lord changed his name to Owen in early 1800's. Shall continue reading/researching.
