Surname EDWARDS posisble christian names Powell orPaul. Marriage of daughter Mary edwards to John Jones 1st April 1844 in the Parish Church of Aberystruth. Fathers name of bride stated as Powell Edwards.(a miner). Unable to trace this Powell Edwards any ideas? Thanks Mary.

I am pleased to announce that baptism, marriage and burial records of eleven more Montgomeryshire parishes have been added to the familyhistoryonline site. This takes the number of parishes to twenty, with more to follow when I have time to finish processing them! You will find the names of the parishes and years covered at: http://www.familyhistoryonline.net/database/MontgomeryGSprs.shtml These records are produced as part of the project of the Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society to transcribe and publish the county's parish records. Details of the society and a list of publications can be seen at http://home.freeuk.net/montgensoc/ I, and my volunteer transcribers, would like to see some feedback on this list about making these records available in this format!

For example, there are several copies listed on the Amazon.com website. >From what you say, it seems you are not ready to attempt to identify your Powell ancestors in Wales (or wherever they came from) because you haven't yet found the name and vital details of the Powell immigrant from whom you are descended. It is premature to dwell on Welsh records until you have accomplished that task. It may be that because of lack of records you will *never* be able to identify your Powell immigrant ancestor, in which case any link with a specific Welsh Powell family will be purely speculative. Genealogical research sometimes involves having to accept that there is a limit to how far we can go back. For many of us, to be able to prove links back to the 18th century, as you have done, would be a real achievement, while to link to an individual in the 17th century would be merely a pipe dream.

Hello Rhiannon, My 3x great-grandfather, Howell PRICE, was born in Llanfihangel Nant Bran, c1791. He married Anne (nee DAVIES) in Llandingat Church, Cmn, in 1814. Howell was a Stone Mason. Have you any more details about your Prices please? Thanks, Alison Malvern, UK "I have Price's from the Breconshire area e.g Llanfihangel Nant Bran ........."  Rhiannon

They are patronymic surnames, derived from "ap Hywel" (son of Howell) and "ap Rhys" (son of Rees). As patronymic names, they could arise in any location where families headed by men named Hywel or Rhys lived. There are therefore lots of different (unrelated) Powell and Price lines.

"The Surnames of Wales" was published in 1996 by the Federation of Family History Societies (Publications) Ltd., Birmingham; ISBN 1-86006-025-0. You will need to search for clues in US records to enable you to determine from which part of Wales your particular Powell (or Price) ancestors came. Just because a Powell family once lived at Castle Madoc, you cannot assume that they have any connection with your own Powell line.

Hello! I am researching a very popular Welsh name and I know a lot of the lines are unrelated, but I'm hoping someone might recognize these men. My 3rd great grandfather, John REECE/REES was born between 1812 and 1818. According to the 1851 UK Census he was born in Brecon, Breconshire and was 34. Although when he died in 1858 in Penygarn, Monmouthshire, he was listed as 46. (This record may refer to a different John REES, but Esther was a widow by 1861 and their last child was born in 1857.) He was "of full age" in 1846 when he married Esther DREW in Trevethin/Trosnant (also in Monmouthshire). His marriage record lists his father as Rees REES, a labourer. A possible match for John in the 1841 census in Monmouthshire lists him as having been born out of county. Does anyone connect with this line or have any suggestions on how to find John or Rees REES in Breconshire? Thank you! Susan Van Kirk Beyer familyseeker@everestkc.net

Hello list Is anyone connected to my Price or Powell families of Llywel, please? Rees Price son of Thomas and Sarah Price baptised at Llywel on 9 August 1767. Rebecca daughter of William & Mary Howell (Powell) baptised February 1769 All the best Heather

Hello John, Thank your for your information about my post, about my Powells. Would the book that you are talking about, be found in the United States?????? I am sorry that I will not be able to find the the "where abouts" of my Powells in the USA. I have no parents for my Lewis R.Powell, born in 1792, Virginia, and that is listed in the Walker County, Georgia USA 1850 Census. He died around 1865-1870, so any Censuses after that would not have his nationality listed, but he died before the 1870 Census came out. I have no records of he and his brother Pressly Powell before 1820, but do have them as of the 1820 Hall County, Georgia Census and also the 1830 Census of that County. The USA did not have anything but "Head of Household" before 1840 or 1850, so there is no way to tell just what country my Powells came from. That's the reason I have been trying to find a link in Wales, England, or Ireland, because someone in the family, felt that they were Irish, and another person that went over to Wales to show Bearded Collies, told me that she had a cousin in the USA, that left with the Powell History of our family, changed his name, and had never been heard of, but her grandmother told her that our line of Powells came from Breconshire, and maybe from Castle Madoc. All I have to go on are first names, and stories of some of the older people that are left, but not a lot has been said about the family, except they were land owners, and handed down land, but there is no link in this area either. We have also joined the Powell DNA Project, through Family Tree in Houston, Texas, and have found out that we are considered in Haplogroup K2, this means that we are considered in only 8% of the world population. To match our 37 marker DNA Test, and our Haplogroup K2, would be the only way to find the families or family that we came from. So far, we only have 1 outside Surname, and that is Sizemore, and another Powell from Durham, North Carolina, that wrote a book telling about a story of 3 English Powell Brothers, Robert, Edwin, and William Powell, being on a English Ship, and the French took it over, hauled all the people to shore and let them go. So these 3 brothers from England settled in Durham, North Carolina USA for a while. This was during the French and Indian War time. The only way we can find a link, I guess is go back to those records, and see if these 3 brothers had any desendants. That is the only clue, so far, but the book does not follow each one of the brothers children. These brothers entered the USA in the 1790's. My Lewis is not mentioned as one of their children, nor a Pressly, but both are mentioned in the Silas LucasJr. Book, "The Powells of Virginia, & The South" in Hall County Ga. Census USA. This is the reason for me asking for help, and if I could just find some original Powells from England, or Wales on some sort of old records, that would tie in some of the names, I would be the happiest person in the world. Am thanking you for your kind help, and hope to be able to find some old records over the big pond.

Hello Heather, I am a Powell, looking for the beginnings of my family in Wales, Ireland, or even England, but so far have just been guessing, as to where my Powells really came from. I have heard that the Prices, Powells and many other old English, Scottish and Irish names, came out of Virginia to all the southern states, and some went north west also. Are you in Wales or in America????? Do not know if I have talked to you before or not, because the last bit of info onn my Powells was about Castle Madoc and the Powells in that Castel. I am still not for sure that I am related to them or not, but they are suppose to have been the first Powells here in the USA, think it might have been Nathaniel Powell, who was killed by the indians in 1623. The whole family were wiped out except for one brother of Nathaniel, and think it was William Powell. I just wish there was info on people from Europe on the net, for Genealogy use. All types of Surnames, including Powell. Wish I knew how to help you, but if you need any lookups of any of your Powells in America, please let me know. I can find them through Heritage Quest.

Hello all, I am trying to find the burial place for a child named Elizabeth Price. She was christened in Dec.1858 at Rhydbryw Church near Sennybridge and probably born that same year. Elizabeth was the d/o of Morgan and Jane Price. Elizabeth does not appear with her parents on the 1861 Breconshire census or any census therafter. So I conclude she must have died before 1861. I have looked at LDS films for Saron Chapel, Brychcoed, and Rhydbryw but no luck. I have the BT's via the LDS for Llywel parish church but the recording of burials stops in 1858. She may be buried at Llywel church but I have no way of finding if she is there. I have ordered many birth and death certs but can find neither for Elizabeth. So recording her birth and death may have been "overlooked" by her parents and leads me to think she may have died shortly after birth. I would very much like to find her burial place as she may be buried with grandparents or other relatives and locating her grave could help me establish another generation back. Morgan Price and the rest of the family left Breconshire for Glamorgan about 1865...all except little Elizabeth. Thank you for any help or advice you can offer. Gwen (USA) gisaac@netins.net

Maureen, Can you give me any further information on Thomas and Maria Williams, please ?? I have a Thomas and Maria Williams, (on my father's side) Maria's maiden name unknown. Thomas was listed as an agricultural worker, and was my gt gt grandfather. He was born around 1795/6, and Maria around 1789. Both in Montgomeryshire. This is all that I know at present, I'm afraid. This just might be the break-through that I'm looking for ! A long shot maybe, but they do pay off sometimes.

Thanks Graham, I hope you all have a nice day together in SY. We were in SY last Saturday with my daughter and family in Bayston Hill, and I will try to call on you next Saturday if possible. I never heard any more from the SY lady doing Cleaton research. The oldest Cleaton I have seen listed in SY Archives via _www.a2a.org.uk/search/documentxsl.asp?com_ (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/documentxsl.asp?com) was a Roger de CLEATON at Shelve near MGY in 1414., plus many others in Myddle,etc, in the 1600-1700 era and later, with some at Myddle linked to Guilsfield property in MGY......... Best wishes to you all, and to the MGY MGS folks with you on Saturday.
