    3. Hello All. Here's mine: Ann Jones, b. 1833/6, Pen Y Gaer, Llanwyddelan (on border of Adfa and possibly part of Llwyncoppa farm just over the township border in Adfa). Ann Jones' mother Ann Gittins, daughter of Thomas Gittins of Llwyncoppa (who married Mary Pryce at Llanfair Caereinion on 7 February 1790). John Jones, b. 1835/6 in Llanfair Caereinion. Married Ann Jones sometime in the late 1850s. Despite searches, birth and marriage records cannot be found. In 1861, John and Ann are living in Welshpool with their family. Both are servants at an Inn. Later, John's full time occupation was with horse drawn transport. Ann is down in the census as a 'sausage maker.' In the early 1870s, the family migrated (walked?) to Llandudno, N Wales. John went first as a taxi driver. They died there but their death records have, so far, have been hard to find. Heddwch. Mike.

    1. [POWYS] Roll Call - MORGAN AND Thomas
    2. Lona Boudreaux
    3. Good Morning from cloudy, cold northeast Louisiana. I'm researching Henry Charles MORGAN and his wife Ann THOMAS. Henry was born Oct. 1, 1822 Breconshire and died Sept. 20, 1884 Altoona, Blair County, Pennsylvania. He is buried in the Fairview Cemetery in Altoona. Ann was born Jan 30, 1821 Breconshire and died Feb. 28, 1898 Altoona, Blair County, Pennsylvania. She is buried next to Henry in the Fairview Cemetery in Altoona. Henry and Ann were married Jan 30, 1843 Shanon Chapel, District of Abergavenny, Counties of Monmouth and Hereford. And they came to America in 1865 and settled in Pennsylvania. Henry's father was John MORGAN and I believe his mother was Mary ______. Ann's father was Samuel THOMAS. I don't know her mother's name but would like to. I feel I have found Henry's siblings and and have that information, if any one is interested. I'm always wanting to learn more and appreciate the help I've received from others on this list. Happy New Year. Lona Laughlin Boudreaux Monroe, Louisiana

I have been reading the excellent book book Epynt Without People.... and Much More and noticed that the author mentions that his wife is the grt grandaughter of  David Price of Gwybedog farm in the parish of Tirabad. It is possible that this David Price is my grt grt grandmother Elizabeth Price's father. I was wondering if anyone know's if Ronald Davies or his wife are still alive?? Perhaps one of you also tie into this David Price of Gwybedog ?? Thank you, Robert Price

    3. That is just the first stage. The summary books can actually be quite useful when you are trying to work out where someone lived. 1911 census pages only show one household so you get a better picture of the area on the summary page than you would with a census page on other censuses because more households are shown.
