Hi Angela You recently replied to an email from Pam requesting information on the Powell family of Brilley. I have been tracing my husband (John Evans) family line over the last five or so years, and found his 4+ grandfather to be Samuel Gwyn - mason. Born approx 1780 and married to Esther Jones at St Mary's church in Brilley in November 1815. I was unable to find a parish record at Brilley for either of their births, but found a Samuel Gwyn born Feb 1779 in Cregina (very close to Brilley) to Samuel Gwyn and Hannah Meredith. Samuel Gwyn and Hannah Meredith were married at Cregina 7th July 1771 in the presence of Humphrey Meredith and Mary Meredith. My research falters at this point and after seeing your reply on the Herefordshire website, I wondered if perhaps you might throw some light on whither the Cregina Merediths are in fact related to the Brilley Merediths. Hopefully Lena Evans
