If they are from Glasbury then there should I believe be a George Jenkins as the father of Richard c 1776. Richard Jenkins and his wife Anne nee Moss married in 1800 at Bedwelty, Mons and their first child George was born in 1801. Going on the family naming pattern which seems very strong in my lines makes me think that Richard 1776 father was George. I did find one in Newland/Breams Green Gloucestershire who married Sarah Beach and their son Richard Jenkins was born in 1776 (the correct year) I thought I had him then but how to prove it - perhaps it is just a case of elimination. George J in Newland was not born in Gloucestershire - or I should say that there are no records of him being born there and I assume that he would have been born around 1750 1755. I have not managed to find a will for George Jenkins. The Beach family he married into were in trade - woollen merchants etc. which would be good for my Jenkins family. My other problem is that Richard is called 'gentleman' on documents and so it has to be someone 'middle class'. The Beaven's who married into the Jenkins/Marsden family were definately from Breconshire so it made sense that the Jenkins should have come from there as well - maybe not. My thoughts were reinforced by the fact that Richard Jenkins 1776 - 1843's son Richard Jenkins born 1808 Sirhowy went to live in Pen y Maes, Hay, Breconshire on his retirement by 1891.

Hi Kathryn, There is a small hamlet called 'Bank' about a mile to the west of Kinnerton village on the road to New Radnor. It is shown on both modern 25K series OS maps and the 1891 OS map available through the Old Maps website. My grandmother, Gertrude Alice Evans, was born at 'X Ditch', which appears to be a cottage in Bank, in 1890. The other properties on your census page don't appear on the map around Bank, though; Yonkin Farm, for example, lies about a mile to the north of Kinnerton. That said, I have come across other instances of discontinuous address sequences on rural census returns, so this may be the right Bank despite the adjacent addresses not matching. Bank sounds a safer place to take photographs of too in the light of Adam's advice.

A batch of emails has it seemed disappeared into space - sorry if you get them twice Arrived at Swansea, Mr and Mrs. J. HEARD, Mrs.TUCKER, Mrs. JONES, Mr BINGHAM, Capt. JONES, Mrs. PORTE & c. Carmarthen Dispensary - Patients admitted during the last year, 121 - Cured, 90 - Discharged for non-attendance, 4 - Died, 7. On Monday the 15th ult. James GILMORE, Geo. EVANS, and William LAWRENCE, were convicted before the Mayor of Pembroke, of travelling with carts and packages on the Sabbath Day, and severally paid the penalty for the offence. On Saturday, the body of a boy, three or four years old was found in a very putrid state, in some water by the road side leaving from Newtown to Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire; and, as no inquiries have been made after him, there is great reason to believe that he has been murdered by those under whose care he was. Lyn Nunn Brisbane Australia

My ancester Henry PRITCHARD was born abt1849 in St Mary's Brecon. His sister is also listed. I believe his mother was Keziah PRITCHARD. He is first shown on the 1851 Wales Census, Pencally District, Parish LLanfigan. He is listed on his grandparent's census return. (David & Kezia Pritchard). His mother Keziah Pritchard is not shown on the 1851 and I believe she had died. She can be found on the 1841 census living with her parents David & Kezia Richard (sic) . The Pritchard lived on the Cornwall Farm. There are family rumors on the name of Henry's father but nothing I have seen. He did not list his father's name later on his marriage certificate. Can anyone help me crack this one. Thanks for taking a look. Regards John

Hi Maureen, Yes - I had a look on the NLW website and there they are! I will have to send off for a will of course to prove or disprove anything. It was a shame that this Williams family is not part of my Williams of Llanelli, Carmarthenshire! best wishes Diana ----- Original Message ----- From: <MJen512444@aol.com> To: <powys@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 9:10 PM Subject: Re: [POWYS] Selina Beaven Breconshire > Hi Diana, > > Angie did us both a good turn I think.

Hello Diana, How interesting that you have Williams in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire. I was there last week on some personal quest. However, I also have roots in Llanelli. A marriage ook place in `825 between my 3 times great grandparents, James Driver and Margaret Bassett at St. Elli's Parish Church. Further back on the Bassett line, I found a Vaughan connection. It would be interesting to see whether there are any Williams in the picture as well. I have several books on Llanelli now because I wanted to know more about the place. Part of the reason why I am in the Rhondda, is because my 2xgreat grandfather John Driver, born in 1825 at Llannon, Carmarthenshire, firstly went to Aberdare to get married and then became an innkeeper in Miskin, Mountain Ash. My great grandfather was born in July 1866 at the Bush Inn, Mountain Ash, the baby of the family. His name was William Bassett Driver. A year later, the family moved to Blaenllechau, near Ferndale in the Rhondda Fach, and John Driver and his eldest son were killed in the explosion of 8th November 1867. There were 178 men and boys killed. So, there you are, a little family history thrown in. Best regards, Maureen Rhondda

Hello listers I'm researching my grandfather ARTHUR HODGES who enlisted in the South Wales Borderers in 1912. He said he was 18 but in actual fact he was just under about 17. I have information about the museum, etc so am not really looking for that unless it is about him. I am interested in him as a person and what he was doing there. He lived in Kingswood in Bristol. I do know that a lot of the HODGES family, such as his great uncles and aunts and their families lived in South Wales. We believe he may have been in South Wales - Coedkernew in 1911. My question is - is there anybody out there who has any HODGES in their family tree or knows anything about Arthur or even Coedkernew in 1911? I have a picture of people in Coedkernew in 1911 if anyone wants to look at it. Lesley

Dear Listers I need help with my researches into Joan GRIFFITHS, born Breconshire in 1831. In 1852 she married Thomas JAMES, born Merthyr Cynog, in 1831. The marriage was in Breconshire. By 1851 they have a five year old daughter Jane, and are living at 13 Rhondda Road, Llanwonno, Glam. In 1865 Thomas married Emma Jane GRIFFITHS, born 1835 at Dixton Newton, Monmouth. (I think it may be coincidence that Thomas's first two wives shared the same surname). Wife Joan and daughter Jane were both born in Breconshire, I wonder where, exactly? By 1851 they have completely disappeared from the scene, did they die, or was there a divorce? I have looked on Free BMD for their deaths,but cannot find them. Obviously I can order the marriage certificate of Joan, and birth certificate of Jane but I only want to do that as a last resort. Regards............................David

Hi Kathryn, regarding your trip to England I was in Kinnerton recently researching various Hargest and Hergests who had lived in the area .Yonkin house was a point of refence I used from early maps to try and locate various places that they had lived at,as it is still there today.But I will warn you the current owner is really snotty and bad tempered so If you take any pictures of the area make sure he is not around :-) Best regards Adam of the Hargest/Hergest & Bindoff One-Name Studies registered with the Guild of One Name Studies 4334 See below http://www.one-name.org/profiles/hargest.html and Member of the Society of Genealogist's number 033515

Thank you Angie - I will follow that up along with Maureen's suggestion. with best wishes Diana ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angela Jones" <angieprobertjones@hotmail.com> To: <powys@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 3:43 PM Subject: Re: [POWYS] Selina Beaven Breconshire Hi Diana, Not sure if this will help at all but there looks as though there is a family pedigree from the Williams family based at Skynlas, Glasbury in the Powys Archives.

Dear Maureen, thank you your email and for all the information you have given me. Glasbury is a good place for me to start so I will do as you suggest and go on to the NLW website and see what I can find. I am coming to the end of chasing my Jenkins all over Wales - I have eliminated most lines of Jenkins families. I do have a problem as they may been in Llanfair Clydogau at some stage and I was told that the records there are destroyed, which means that I will never know. I try to find all the branches of the family such as the Beavens as that I find is often a clue as to where the rest came from. Thank you again and do keep me in mind if you do ever find anything or anything comes to mind. The main one I am looking for is Richard Jenkins 1776 and died 1843 gentleman of Tredegar. with best wishes Diana ----- Original Message ----- From: <MJen512444@aol.com> To: <powys@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 16, 2007 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [POWYS] Selina Beaven Breconshire > Hello Diana, > > The best way for you to find out about Skkynlas I suppose, is to look at > the > National Library of Wales website, and type in Skynlas. > > For now though.

Hi Diana, Angie did us both a good turn I think. I did not know there was a Williams connections with Skynlas. My great grandmother's sister married a Thomas Williams. They went to Howton Court in Herefordshire. A daughter of one of my greatgrandmother's sisters, married the son of Canon Buckley of Llandaff, sometime in the early 1900s. Good fun this. Maureen
