Dear List, I wonder if anyone can help me. I can find nothing out about a John Jones Crier of Brecon and Breconshire. I have searched everywhere that I know. He was the bondsman on the marriage licence of John Owens to Frances Jenkins at Y Faenor in 1820. The only Jones links I think I have in my family are the Jones family of Dolfor Hall, Newtown, Kerry, Montg. where William Marsden Jenkins (born 1841 Tredegar son of Richard Jenkins 1808) vicar of Dolfor died on 13th Aug 1869. David Jones of Church house was in attendance at the death. There is a John Jones and family farming at Dolfor Hall in 1861 and 1871. So I know that the Jenkins were linked to the Jones. The Rev. John Jenkins 1770 - 1829 was vicar of Kerry and he married a Miss Jones of Crosswood House. In the 1841 census I also have David Jones 1791 of Dolfor Hall in 1841 being married to a Tryphena c 1791. I believe Tryphena was an Owens. I cannot seem to tie anything up at present and wondered if anyone had the parish records for Kerry/Ceri. with thanks Diana

Hi, I have had a look at the excellent Glascwm parish records CD published by Powys FHS and there are quite a few references to Havards! Unfortunately nothing close to a Thomas in 1804!

Hi I have been to Llandrindod Wells Record office several years running (only being able to get there once a year) but cannot check every Parish. I am wondering if anyone has access to the Parish records of Llandefalle, Brecon and can tell me if there is any mention of an Evan Maddy either a birth around 1730-40s or a death around late 1700's. If a birth, and there is also a record of the father and mother I would be grateful for that too. Thanking you in anticipation. Sue in Suffolk

Hi Snowy, I have visited Pen-yr-Heol Baptist Chapel and as John Ball says it is a long way up the road from Velindre to Tregoyd. It seems like it goes on for ever but it is well worth the trip. You have to go over the cattle grids and keep on going always up. You will find it on the right hand side just when you think there is no more road. I didn't exactly find what I wanted but it is such a lovely little Chapel and it is still used. In fact I know of a couple who are going to be buried there when their time comes. Her family come from the Glasbury area as do mine. In fact, we believe we are related.
