Thanks Lynne...have tried to find LODGE LLANDINAM ESKIIRMAEN but can not.Wonder if it either does not exist now,or has been renamed.Was it a very big farm.Wonder if there are any old photo's of it........

Chris, I've got a photo of a cottage that I was told is called Eskir. It's on the roadside on the way up to Newchapel and is a black and white cottage. I've no proof that this is the farm you are looking for, but will send you the photo off list. This cottage always fascinated me as it's so beautiful but very run down. Did stop one day and have alook through the windows but it was obviously unoccupied. The back garden was occupied though!

Hi Stringer, Llandinam Eskirmaen (now called Esgair Maen) is tricky to find because although it was part of Llandinam parish in 1841, it was a detached township located about three miles south-east of Llanidloes. Lodge is still there - it is marked on the modern 25K Ordnance Survey map at map reference SO001799. Most of the other properties listed in Eskirmaen on the 1841 census are still there too. A road passes through Lodge farm and Google Maps has a street view which shows that some of the outbuildings are original, although there doesn't appear to be any sign of the original farmhouse. To find Lodge on Google Maps search for Tylwch and look for the buildings 1500 metres due east from there. My interest in your question stemmed from the fact that my GG grandmother, Jane Lewis, was born in Llandinam in 1816. I have never managed to find any record of her Lewis family in Llandinam, though. As Jane married Edward Meredith of Bwlch-y-sarnau, which is just a few miles south of Eskirmaen, I suspect now that my Lewises may have lived in Eskirmaen rather than Llandinam itself.
