Hello I am new to this list having confirmed that my great grandfather William HOWELLS (b. 4 March 1848) came from Breconshire. He consistently gives his birthplace as Brecknock but at last, on the 1891 census, he gives the more specific birthplace - Dukestown. William married in 1872 and settled in Ystumtuen in Ceredigion. On his marriage cert he gives his father's name as David HOWELLS; both of them were miners. I know about William's descendants but wonder whether anyone has links to his siblings? I have not yet been able to trace his parents. Best wishes Mary Bryceland PS I'm just off for a few days in the Ystumtuen area; this is followed by a few days in Brecon (a break I had booked before I had confirmed William's birthplace)
