Well............... Anyone out there with information about Joseph Jones, born about1822 in Pont Robert, Llanfairfechan, son of Evan Jones, and married Dianah Davies (born Llanfechin, daughter of Thomas Davies) in Meifod in 1843. By 1851 they were in Madeley, Shropshire.. Their daughter, Catherine, born in Madeley, probably 1849, was my Great-Grandmother. Have no access to Welsh records, as I live on the Sussex coast. I have asked before, but maybe someone might spot it this time.

Seasonal variations are at least part of the reason for the low activity on the Powys List in September, but there has been a gradual decline in activity on most of RootsWeb's mailing lists over the past decade. I've set out below the number of messages distributed in the month of September on the Powys List for the past dozen years: 2000 - 1058 2001 - 248 2002 - 239 2003 - 136 2004 - 129 2005 - 155 2006 - 248 2007 - 129 2008 - 107 2009 - 79 2010 - 45 2011 - 83 2012 - 22 The amazing figure for 2000 was clearly exceptional, but disregarding this figure, the decline over the period shown is obvious. What puzzles me is that the number of subscribers to the list has remained remarkably constant over the same period. It has only fluctuated between 410 and 430. It's clear that fewer subscribers ask for help via the List, and fewer subscribers contribute their thoughts to the List except in answer to questions posed.

There is a Llangattock-nigh-Usk, in MOnmouthshire, near ABERGAVENNY. "LLANGATTOCK-NIGH-USK, a parish in the upper division of the hundred of Abergavenny, county Monmouth, 3 miles S.E. of Abergavenny, and 2 from Usk, its post town. The river Usk flows through the parish. The village is a small rustic place. The tithes were commuted in 1840. The living is a rectory* in the diocese of Llandaff, value £274. The church, dedicated to St. Cadocus, has monuments to the Evans family. The charities amount to about £5 per annum." [Description(s) from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) from Genuki Maybe the confusion started here. Maybe this helps sort out the confusion re Gwent.

For example "A Gazetteer of Welsh Place-names" lists five: one in Breconshire, one in Glamorgan, and three in Monmouthshire. The name Llangattock is usually followed by a geographical descriptor that distinguishes it from the other Llangattocks; e.g. the three Monmouthshire Llangattocks are: Llangattock nigh Usk, Llangattock Vibon Avel, and Llangattock Lingoed. You need to study your records carefully to see in which Llangattock your ancestor was christened. Actually, none of the Llangattocks would be the 'natural' parish for someone born in Blaina: you would normally expect them to be christened at St Peter's, the parish church for Aberystruth. But if you are sure the christening record you've found is for the correct Elizabeth Davies, and the records indicate the church was in Breconshire, then the Llangattock you are seeking is the one on the opposite bank of the Usk to Crickhowell. This is the one I referred to in my previous e-mail. Powys Archives only holds the registers for the Breconshire Llangattock. The records for the Monmouthshire Llangattocks are held by Gwent Archives, now situated in new premises at Ebbw Vale - http://www.gwentarchives.gov.uk/ My copy of "A Gazetteer of Welsh Place-names", edited by Elwyn Davies, was published in 1996 by University of Wales Press, Cardiff (ISBN 0-7083-1038-9) Kind regards, John -------------------- John Ball, Brecon, Mid-Wales, UK E-mail: john@jlb2011.co.uk Website: http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/

Hi, I have always thought Llangattock was in Breconshire. Best wishes Sue in Suffolk.

William, Many thanks for your prompt and informative response. The information is very useful. I thought that John Williams had married twice (unless I had confused two different men with that name) and your message confirms that. It is very likely that John Williams and his first wife, Ann, were my 3 x great grandparents. Do you know if they were related to any of your Williams people in Llandinam? If so we might be distantly related! My 2 x great grandmother was Ann Williams who married Thomas Price in Llandinam on 16 July 1832. The witnesses were John Williams and Maurice Davies. The second mentioned seems to have been a witness at most marriages in the parish and therefore was probably not related to either the groom or bride but John Williams was quite likely a close relative. The couple subsequently moved to Dowlais, part of Merthyr Tydfil, but according to various censuses Anne Price (formerly Williams) was born in Llandinam in about 1808. There is only one Anne Williams in the parish record who fits the bill and she was the daughter of John Williams and Anne Hughes and she was christened on 20 March 1808. She was actually born and christened before her parents marriage but John Williams was acknowleged as the father in the christening record and the parents got married in Llandinam on 6 August 1809. John Williams and Anne Hughes seem to have 4 children. After Anne they had: John Williams, christened 6 August 1809 in the Parish Church, Llandinam. Thomas Williams, christened 23 February 1814 in Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Church, Llandinam. William Williams, christened 4 April 1816 Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Church, Llandinam. Elizabeth Williams, christened 21 September 1818 Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Church, Llandinam. Unfortunately neither John Williams nor his first wife Anne seem to have left a will (and neither did John's second wife Mary). I had hoped they would have left one which would have mentioned my 2 x great grandmother Anne Price to prove beyond any doubt that she was their daughter. However, since they did not leave wills I suppose I will just have to try and eliminate any other possible candidates. If there was another Anne Williams born in Llandinam in about 1808 she was not christened in the parish church (or the non-conformist ones included in FindMyPast) nor was anyone of that name with the right age buried in Llandinam before my Anne Williams married Thomas Price. As a final check I suppose I could try and find all the Ann/Annes of the right age whose birth place is given as "Llandinam" in the 1851 census and if they are married or widowed try and find out if their maiden name was Williams. Since I am about 90% convinced that the daughter of John Williams and Anne Hughes called Anne is the same woman as the one with that name who married Thomas Price, I would be welcome any information from anyone who is also (or has already) researched that couple. Thanks again William for the information about the head stone.
