Hi Mike , There is a baptism of a Robert Humphreys in Guilsfield July 8th 1821 to John Humphreys and Prudence. Lynne.

Hi Folks, I'm struggling to find the burial of my 3 x gt grandfather. In the 1841 Robert (Robt) HUMPHREYS was a 'farmer' in Meifod. By 1851 his wife, Mary, nee JONES, was a widow and housekeeping in Stredalfedan, Welshpool. (The 1851 census for Stredalfedan &Tydyn Prydd was less than 3 pages.) Robert and Mary's last son, Joseph was baptised in the Parish of Welshpool on the 14th November 1847, so Robert was probably alive for his conception. And there was no indication on the Baptism that Robert has already died. I have found a second quarter death in 1849 on FreeBMD for a Robert HUMPHREYS in the District of Llanfyllin, aka Welshpool. Using the newly released FindMyPast, parish records I cant find a burial. (Robert doesn't appear to have been baptised either, although his 1838 marriage to Mary gives his father as John, and is described as full age, making a birth before 1817.) Has anyone any ideas, please? Regards Mike

Hi, Another request. I am looking for LEWIS THOMAS c 1786 mason and his wife CATHERINE c 1791 both born Merionethshire in the 1841 census along with their son THOMAS THOMAS age 12 born Pendryn Brec. I am also looking for RICHARD THOMAS born c 1821 Merionethshire in the 1841 census. In the 1851 census he is also in Treaman with his wife Elizabeth whom he married in 1845 at Brynmawr Brec. In the 1851 census they are at Treaman 1851 census piece 2460 Folio 321 Schedule 085 Ref HO 107/2460 ED 2J Glamorgan.Merthyr Tydril Living at Treaman Fforchaman Aberam Lewis Thomas 65 mason by trade born Mer Dolgellan b c 1786, his wife Catherine 63 c 1788 Mer. Dolgellan Thomas son 22 unmarried puddler by trade c 1829 born Brecon Penderryn Catherine Jones grandau 13 servant born Llanelly Brecon c. 1838. I can't find them in the 1841 census Many thanks for any help Re my last email re Margaret Davies born 1832 I discovered by having another look at Elizabeth's marriage cert that it was indeed her sister Ann who married Thomas Williams. Who would I contact to get those details? As you can tell I am floundering a bit here any help is indeed welcome Cheers Marilyn from Western Australia

Good hunting, Clive Hilary -----Original Message----- From: powys-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:powys-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Clive Gardener Sent: 27 June 2012 23:08 To: powys@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [POWYS] Good News! - BRE, MGY and RAD parish records on FindMyPast website Hi Hilary Thanks for your reply. In the end I simply tried the name, plus the known year, leaving the county and place fields blank, but there were still NO results for the first two quoted examples! I've built up quite a list of BMD enquiries concerning Llangattock residents, so the visit to the Powys County Archives Office should be quite productive. I don't know what it is, but putting the name and year into a search form and then clicking on the button 'Search' doesn't quite have the same resonance as running your eye down a list of names in a register (on paper or film) and then coming to a halt at the actual name of the person you are looking for, written in ink, in the original handwriting . . . Many thanks for the information about the three separate parishes in Brecon.

Hello, Off the "top of my head" I think there are two Llangattock - one in Brecon and one in Monmouthshire. My Thomas Williams was in Llangattock, Monmouthshire in 1840 when he married Amelia Williams. She came from Cwmyoy.

Hi Hilary Thanks for your reply. In the end I simply tried the name, plus the known year, leaving the county and place fields blank, but there were still NO results for the first two quoted examples! I've built up quite a list of BMD enquiries concerning Llangattock residents, so the visit to the Powys County Archives Office should be quite productive. I don't know what it is, but putting the name and year into a search form and then clicking on the button 'Search' doesn't quite have the same resonance as running your eye down a list of names in a register (on paper or film) and then coming to a halt at the actual name of the person you are looking for, written in ink, in the original handwriting . . . Many thanks for the information about the three separate parishes in Brecon.

Hello everyone, I thought that you might like to be reminded of the existence of our Breconshire Local & Family History Society (BLFHS), established just over one year ago. Currently we have just over 100 members. We meet monthly, usually at Brecon Library, at 2pm on the first Wednesday in the month. Our next meeting, on Wednesday, 4th July, will take the form of a talk by Len Ley on "Farming in the 1780s". His talk is based on contemporary farming diaries from the Abercrave area of Breconshire. Everyone is welcome to attend: there is a £1 entry fee for non-members. As well as local members, our membership comes from many other parts of the British Isles as well as overseas. Our main medium of communication is our website, at www.blfhs.co.uk, which helps even distant members to feel part of the Society. The website's members' section offers sound files of most of our monthly talks, and in some cases slide shows of visual presentations, enabling even distantly located members to enjoy our monthly talks. But this is just a taste of what is on offer to our members. For example, our volunteers are busily transcribing nonconformist chapel records, which we then make available to all members' via our website. A visit to our website, at www.blfhs.co.uk, will give non-members a good idea of what is available. The membership fee is £8, renewable on 1st January. A membership form is available to download from the website. All the very best, Hilary Williams (Chairperson, BLFHS)

Hi John I was pleased to hear, until . . . The thought occurred to me to test the findmypast search facility, by checking the baptism for Henry Thomas Payne at Llangattock, Brecknockshire, on 30th November 1760. However, I have received the message that there are NO results! Another entry that I understand is present in the Llangattock parish records (from past correspondence via the POWYS list) is the burial of Edward Kendall at Llangattock in March 1807 - but, again, no results . . . ! I'm also interested in the burial of William Williams, who died at Brecon on 27th April 1812, but there also doesn't seem to be a record for him, either. On first trial it would appear that the coverage is not quite so wide or so accurate as claimed . . . ? Looks like I'll have to make the anticipated journey to the Powys County Archives Office after all!

Dear Listers, Yesterday afternoon (UK time), the Powys Mailing List received another message containing a suspicious link. As previously, the e-mail's subject line was "[Powys] (no subject)", and it contained no message other than a hyperlink to a suspicious website. On this occasion, the message appears to have originated from Tom Evans <tomevans11@yahoo.com> - a bona fide member of the List - but without his knowledge. Please DELETE all such messages as soon as you spot them. DO NOT them, and DO NOT click on the links they contain. I report each incidence to RootsWeb as it arrives. Previous experience shows that these spam attacks do not last very long, and the messages are harmless if you do not click on the links they contain. Kind regards, John -------------------- John Ball, Brecon, Mid-Wales, UK Administrator - Powys (& BRE/MGY/RAD) RootsWeb mailing lists E-mail: john@jlb2011.co.uk Website: http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/ Images of Wales: http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/walespic/ Welsh Family History Archive: http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/wales/ Joint Webmaster - Breconshire Local & Family History Society http://www.blfhs.c.uk/ GENUKI Breconshire Maintainer: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/BRE/
