Just wondering why you use a different spelling for 'Llanover' in your e-mail as compared against the website?

Hello, In the past two days I have not been able to view any Parish records on Find My Past. Is anyone else having difficulty? I have a 'world subscription' and have had access. Tomi

I have been researching the lives of Lord and Lady Llanover for several years and have put much of it online at http://augustaladyllanover.coffeecup.com

Hi John and List, As John posted, I hope he won't mind this note. Thanks for the Top 100 list. However, there is one site that is already going to that Big Recycle Bin in the Sky. (Can't find out why - it's not important.) The only site for South Africa, Ancestry24, has a closure notice on it for the end of February 2013. Premium subs are being refunded. http://ancestry24.com/closure-of-ancestry24/ If anyone is just starting South African research I am putting together a 10 minute talk on SA Internet Resources. Please contact me OFF List for a copy, don't know what format it will be in yet, which will be ready in about a week. (I only started on Saturday night and it won't be a big list!) Cheers Mike Yegwart Branch Chairman Bromsgrove BMSGH Both Bromsgrove and Stourbridge branches can now be found on the one site, http://www.bromsgrovebmsgh.co.uk/ On 21/01/2013 08:00, powys-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > Today's Topics: > > 1. 100 Genealogy websites for 2013 (John Ball) > 2.

OK Graham Enlighten me as to where I can find these marvelous records. I've obviously missed something. Love to kitty. Justine On 12/01/13 3:32 PM, "Graham Price" <genetree@tpg.com.au> wrote: >PS.

Hi Justine. Ah, at Find My Past, you have to subscribe. Costs the earth, well almost, not really. Six months sub for Britain only (don't know why they changed it from UK, but they did) will get you there. Kushi sends greetings from herself, being asleep beside me on the desk as I write. Gives a little snore now and then, can't be called a purr. Good health, good finances, good luck for the New Year. Cheers Gra & Kushi the clever cat as well.

PPS. I can see why Emma was 'farmed out,' because there are another seven children born to this couple. 1830-1847, and Samuel may well have re-married later to a Martha - need to check this - with another child being born. Poor Emma, looks as if she got the short straw, then again life with the Dudleys might have well have been a hoot. Certainly shows she was set on a path of discipline, and no doubt righteousness! Grin. Gra

PS. Guildfield parish registers for the year 1835 reveal one Emma Clarke being baptised 15 Feb to Samuel & Emma Clarke of Tyrynynech, so looks like on the right track here. Cheers Graham

Hi all Getting back into it after the festive season, I have discovered lots of marriages, baptisms etc. courtesy of the new digital images on FMP for Montgomeryshire, which compliments earlier research from microfilms, and was wondering if anyone has any connections to a Clarke or Dudley family of Pool Quay area, in particular Tirymynech just south of Pool Quay station, which seems to be spelt in the registers as Tyrynynech. These families are connected through marriage to my Peate people of Llandrinio and Deythur. Very exciting this, hordes of images fit these families. Sorry LDS, looks as if I shan't be visiting your libraries much in the future! Emma Clark or Clarke, who married Elijah Peate in 1867 at Shrewsbury, Shropshire, is shown to be the niece of one John Dudley (John Davies Dudley) farrier of Tirymynech in the 1851 census and in the 1841 at the age of six is listed at the same house as a female servant. My, they taught them young in those days, eh? At the marriage of John Dudley & his beau Lettice Clarke in 1824 at Guilsfield there is a witness, Samuel Clarke, so I am working on the premise that this character may well have been Emma's father. Anyway, that may take a day or two. One of the other witnesses was a Pamphylia Green - fascinating first name, that! Sort of sounds like a disease. Naughty Graham. Anyway, just thought I'd post this to see if anyone was connected, or just interested. Happy New Year everyone, may all your brick walls turn to gold dust. Graham Melbourne Oz

I wonder if it is a knocker-up, persons who used to go around with a long stick to awaken people for their early shift at work? Graham Melbourne, Oz

Hello List, I have found these two occupations listed for Nock men in Montgomeryshire in the 1700- 1800s: Senior and Jnr ( assume that is Junior) What occupations do these refer to? Thank you,Tomi

Sharon, have you tried Googling Bodiach Hall? There are several references to it and some messages that might help you.......or may not as the case may be. Ann.   Hoping to find others researching my family. Richard DAVIES born Llangurig abt 1812 married Mary (surname unknown). This Richard was widowed in 1881 and living in Glynbrochan (farmer of 160 acres) with 2 unmarried children. Their eldest son Richard (b1832 Llangurig - 1918 Trefeglwys) is my gt gt gt grandfather. Richard married Mary (surname also Davies) and had 10 children:  Mary Jane b1861, Richard b1864, John b 1866, Margaret b 1868, Elizabeth (Lizzie) b 1871, Matilda (Tille) b1873, Ellen Louise (Nellie) b1876,  and Thomas Edward b 1882. By 1871 the family were living in Bodaioch Hall in Trefeglwys, raising sheep. Thomas' daughter Mary still lives there. Richard and Mary's eldest daughter Mary Jane married Richard EDWARDS in 1881 and had 3 children - Mary Eleanor (aka Nellie m Llew Mills no issue), Richard Asaph and John Ernest (my gt grandfather). The two boys emigrated to Australia and had 2 (both living) and 8 (3 living incl my grandmother aged 91yrs) children respectively. When Richard snr died in 1897 Mary Jane married his nephew John Henry Davies and had 2 more children - Gwladys Myfanwy (m Charles Ioworth Evans no issue) and Cecil Edgar (m Adeline Breed no issue). This family lived in Talgarth House in Llanidloes. I'm having lots of trouble tracing marriages/issue/deaths of Mary Jane's siblings. I know that Thomas married Anna Mary Owen. I believe Lizzie married James Fulcher and Nellie married Evan Evans, but can't confirm these hunches as yet. For the others I have no marriages or deaths. Please contact me if you know anything of this family! Any bit of info would be helpful - contact with actual family members thrilling!!!!!

Hi Roger, I have been told the following: Preliminary work to connect Llangammarch Wells with the Neath to Brecon Line is said to have begun in September 1864 with the intention of completing the line by August 1866, but by May 1867 it was only half completed. Then it was abandoned. Another failed attempt was made in 1882 but was finally abandoned in 1890. We hope to investigate this further over this year Best wishes, Hilary Williams Chair BLFHS -----Original Message----- From: powys-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:powys-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Roger M Evans Sent: 05 January 2013 11:53 To: powys@rootsweb.com Subject: [POWYS] Brecon Railway John, Following on from your note on the Brecon Railways Exhibition On an investigative trip to the Sennybridge area I was told of the failed attempt to build a connection from the Brecon/Swansea line to connect with Builth Wells, apparently the money ran out when difficult tunnelling was experienced up the Cillenni valley, they just closed off the tunnel and left everything buried, whatever that means.
