David, Having another look at FreeBMD with the 1881 Census entry details pulled up some interesting finds: Births June Qtr. 1862 ROGERS William Evans Rogers Knighton, 11b, p.175 It's puzzling -- perhaps Rees EVANS died long before you thought (see below). There was an Arthur ROGERS registered at Kington, Sept. Qtr. 1872, 6a, p.541 -- seems to fit the 8-yr-old listed in the census. Deaths - All counties - EVANS, Rees ??? Sep. 1862 Evans Rees Bedwelty, 11a, 52 There are a few other possibilities, if he didn't stay in Radnorshire. Julie Preston

David, Quite a mystery! Don't you find it odd that Arthur has both EVANS and ROGERS in his name but is *not* listed as "wife's son" so intimates he was the son of William ROGERS, yet you're using his birth as a guide to when his father (Rees Evans) likely died? Have you actually located a birth registration for Arthur and/or Lewis (or any subsequent children of this couple)? It may be that the ROGERS' used middle names -- there is one James Lewis ROGERS registered at Presteigne, Dec. Qtr. 1869, but that would make him older than 1 year for the 1871 Census. If Arthur (EVANS or ROGERS) was born at Walton, RAD, the birth should've been registered at Knighton, as should Lewis ROGERS' birth but neither are shown on FreeBMD. It may be incomplete so would be worth looking for it via one of the other pay-for sites -- may turn up the death and remarriage, as well. For what it may be worth, there were some marriage possibilities that turned up but you'd have to check with the registrar to see if there's a real match: Marr. Sept. Qtr. 1867 Camberwell Reg.

My great grandfather Rees EVANS married Eliza Victoria DAVIES in the parish church of Glascwm on the 24/11/1860. Rees was of full age, living inBryan as a servant,his father was David EVANS. Eliza was nineteen,living in the Cottages as a servant,her father was John Davies. They both appear on the 1861 census,Rees as head aged 26 a labourer and Eliza his wife aged eighteen.Both born Glascwm. The 1871 census finds Eliza aged 29 living with William ROGERS & her children John EVANS aged 9 wifes son born Glascwm,Price EVANS aged 5 wifes son born Old Radnor, Arthur EVANS ROGERS son aged 3 born Walton and Lewis Rogers aged 1 born Glascwm. So what happened to Rees EVANS,he was alive arround March 1867 as his youngest son Arthur was born 14/12/1867. I can find no trace of a death in Radnorshire. In fact the only death i can find that fits the bill is of Rees EVANS who committed sucide at Tythegston Bridgend on the 17th May 1867, the inquest was held on the 22nd May 1867 by Howell Cuthbertson coroner at Bridgend, The Bridgend Chronical reported the inquest on the 24th May 1867 which stated that he was found hung to a tree near Cefn works & that he had left his house to go to his work at the slip near Tondu,which i believe is a coal mine, he was aged 37 & left a wife & 5 children. I have not found a marriage cert: for William & Eliza ROGERS & no trace of any other likly death cert fot Rees EVANS. So again what happened to Rees EVANS ???,CAN ANYONE HELP ?? Regards DI Jones

Hi Tom At that time, I think it was part of one of the Marcher Lordships - as far as I can tell, the county of Breconshire did not come into existence until the Act of Union in 1536. The manor of Tretower is mentioned on the Archives network site at http://www.archivesnetworkwales.info/cgi-bin/anw/fulldesc_nofr?inst_id=1&coll_id=20252&expand= which will give you some history as to who owned it when. I assume you have seen the Castles of Wales page: http://www.castlewales.com/tretwr.html Best wishes Barbara Griffiths Coventry UK

Hi Folks, I would appreciate knowing what county the town of Tretower, located roughly 3 miles northwest of Crickhowell would have been in back in the middle of the 15th. century. Regards Tom Dunn, Kilbrittain, Co. Cork, Ireland

Tom, Tretower (Tretwr in Welsh) is/has been situated in the old county of Breconshire (now part of larger administrative county of Powys). As a parish, it appears to have been formed from part of the parish of Llanfihangel Cwm Du so you should look for early parish records under both parishes.

Hello Pete, I have the 1841 census cd so I had a look for the properties you mention.

Dear Listers, I mentioned this not too long ago but it bears repeating. I've received several notifications today from the Rootsweb system that several subscribers have been unsubscribed by the system -- so far, these involve subscribers using the following ISP's and there are likely to be more: wanadoo.co.uk freeserve.co.uk fsnet.co.uk If you get an unsubscribe notification or find you're not receiving any list mail, please contact your ISP and be sure they will cooperate and allow Rootsweb mailing list postings -- this is happening because the ISP is repeatedly 'bouncing' list mail back to Rootsweb and the system will automatically unsubscribe you after so many attempts.

Hallo, I am wondering if anyone has in their family tree a Rachel Maddy (obviously she will have a different married name). She was born Llyswen 1802. She is registered in the Llyswen Parish Records as being the daughter of Evan Maddy. I have tried to find her in the 1841 Census but have not been successful. I believe it is possible that she lived at Tregoyd Brecon around this time and may have been married to A ..........Griffiths but have no proof. I would be grateful if anyone can throw any light on this or whether they have a Rachel Maddy in their family possibly married to someone else but within the same timescale. It is also equally possible that they moved to the valleys for work and that is why I have not been able to find her. Thanking the list in anticipation. Sue in Suffolk --

Dear Listers, (Apologies to the list if this has already been mentioned.) An email from fellow lister Dennis Cleaton reminded me of this Wales-Ohio Project at the National Library of Wales and on their website. In the past, we've had much discussion of the Welsh who migrated from Wales (many from the Mynydd Bach area of Cardiganshire but others from elsewhere in Wales) to a specific area in Ohio but this project is much more ambitious and well worth exploring if you have ancestors who went to Ohio or through Ohio to ultimately settle elsewhere in the U.S. Includes 5,000 digital images. "The goal of the Wales-Ohio Project is to digitize a selection of Welsh Americana relating to the state of Ohio held at the National Library of Wales and to make them available to audiences world-wide via this website." http://www.ohio.llgc.org.uk/ Thanks to Dennis for reminding me of the article about this topic in the Dec. 2007 issue of Powys FHS' "Cronicl". Kind regards, Julie Preston juliefpreston@sbcglobal.net

Hi Julie, I've found a marriage reference for a Benjamin EDMUNDS to Margaret Ann REES Crickhowell 11b, 150, in 1904, which makes me nervous about claiming some of the birth records just yet. I'm going to have a look at the 1901 census to see if I can find any EDMUNDS in Llanelly Hill which might point me in the right direction. Many thanks for your help. Catherine.x

Hi Julie, I had a look at the original scan and the page number looks like 216 to me. So I searched for all marriages in Dec Qtr 1910 for Crickhowell 11b page 216. It turned up Emily HOPKINS? Possibly a second marriage for Emily or perhaps an unmarried mother would explain why she wasn't named as REES? You've certainly given me some thinking to do! Many thanks, Catherine.x
