    3. Dear Sue I haven't really understood your question. If you are suggesting that good web-based resources you have used in the past no longer appear to be on-line (which itself seems unlikely) then can you list those you have been looking for? www.familysearch.org is still very much available, along with many others. What are the precise difficulties you are experiencing?

    3. Thought I'd follow up for those who took an interest in this one. I have just discovered the following death notice for Florinda Beavan daughter of Henry Williams Beavan The Standard (London) 18 October 1875 records the event "Beavan - 10th, at Tenby Florinda Elizabeth Beavan, only daughter of the late Cap, Henry Williams Beavan, 18th Royal Irish, in her 71st year. Irish papers please copy. Monday, October 18, 1875; pg. 7; Issue 15983." This proves my suspicion that the two men called Henry Williams Beavan are one and the same. I already knew that the one in London was a Captain in the 18th Royal Irish...see below.

However, Eglwysilan isn't a village. There are two houses near the church and the Rose and Crown is still next to the church, but that's it. The church stands on the ridge between Abertridwr in the Aber Valley and Rhydyfelin in the Taff Valley.

    3. Dianne asked: "Can someone tell me if EGLWYSILAN in the Glamorganshire is near MERTHYR and what denomination is St Illan." It isn't too far away, Dianne: it's between Pontypridd (where I live) and Caerphilly. Have a look at this:http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Eglwysilan/ for more details. The church belongs to the Church in Wales. Margaret Wales Representative, The Guild of One-Name StudiesVisit the CLOSE page at http://www.one-name.org/profiles/close.html
