Hi Chris I have referenced what I have on Ann Swancott to page 40 of Methodistiaeth Trefeglwys by Richard Bennett. It is in Welsh. I've looked to see if second hand copies are available, but can't find any. Methodistiaeth Trefeglwys, 1754-1814 : (cyfnod Daniel Rowland a Thomas Charles); gan Richard Bennett, Caersws by Bennett, Richard John Ellis, argraffydd, Heol y Bont Hir [1932?] There are copies at Newtown Library, which offers a research service.

Edward (Thomas) Evans born 1851 Trefeglwys.No information yet found about him..In New Zealand he named 3 of his childrens middle names Argoed.This I think may be the missing link in finding him. Also Owen family Trefeglwys...Edward married Elizabeth,daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Owen nee Brunt.

Anne Swancott b. 1742 was the heiress of Argoed, Trefeglwys. As the heiress she was married very young (6 Nov 1756) to David Humphreys of Machynlleth. He was buried 24 Apr 1769 Trefeglwys). I have noted that the genealogist Richard Bennett said that she married a second time to Evan Evans of Escerieth (chr 13 Sep 1734, m. 4 Jan 1773) and had four children, but I don't have the names of these children.

Dear list Would anyone have access to the marriage register of Meifod Church. I'm trying to ascertain whether I have found the correct marriage in 1864 between a John Hughes Jones & Catherine Evans. If I have found the correct marriage her father should be Robert Evans of Nantymeichiad, Meifod. If someone is able to look this up for me I would be grateful to receive the details of the marriage as supplied in the parish register. Thank you Angharad Williams

Hi all listers I too am researching Prossers in Breconshire.  My grt grt grt grandfather was Roger Prosser b 1753 in Aberyscir.  He married Margaret Havard in 1796 in Llanfihangel Tal y llyn.  They had children - Roger b abt 1807-09 (married Ann Price of Merthyr Cynog), Elizabeth (b abt 1799,), Thomas (b abt 1802), David (b abt 1803-04), Anne (b abt 1807- died 1807) and Anne (b abt 1810).  Roger senior died 1854 age 101 and is buried at Llanfihangel Tal y llyn.  Roger Jnr, my grt grt grandfather had four children - Margaret (b abt 1846 in Bedwelty), Thomas (b abt 1843 in Tredegar), William (b abt 1841 in Tredegar) and John (b abt 1833 in Merthyr Cynog).  I descend from Thomas who eventually moved to Pontypridd in Glamorganshire.   If anyone recognises bits of this tree I would love to hear from them - I am particularly trying to find out more information about Roger jnr's wife Ann Price (b abt 1806 in Merthyr Cynog) - her family may have been non-conformist as John, her eldest child was baptised at the Ebenezer Chapel in Upper Honddhu nr Merthyr Cynog. many thanks Sue ----- Original Message ---- From: Tomi Larson <[email protected]> To: Powys Rootsweb <[email protected]> Sent: Tue, 4 January, 2011 0:39:33 Subject: [POWYS] Roll Call Hi Listers, It's a new year - how about a roll call of the names we are researching?

Hi all I am researching the name of EATON in Montgomery town and surrounding areas. I have gone back as far as the early 1830s with THOMAS EATON and his brother JOHN who was the main butcher. in Montgomery. THOMAS lived in ROWES COTTAGES on Pool Rd I traced THOMAS to SALFORD where his daughter SARAH ANNE married JOSEPH BRADBURN. and moved their family to Toronto where a grand daughter Joan was born. This person is my second cousin. What I want to establish are the details of the marraige of THOMAS and his wife MARY So far I have been unable to access the marriage records of St Thomas's Church in Montgomery, the marriage having occurred before the 1841 census. Can anyone help?

Hello Ann et al Hilary's link to the author shows it listed at £13.50 - to be fair to Amazon the book available there is from one of their Marketplace sellers and not Amazon itself.  Many of the Marketplace sellers often sell unusual titles at exorbitant rates as they are seen as difficult to source.  If at all possible I would always try to buy direct for something like this.
