Greetings. I am new to the list and have much to learn, but eager to begin. I would appreciate any help that can be offered as to understanding the system of parishes, townships, provinces, etc. I understand these have been redrawn over the years--but I am lost at this time. Also, I am searching for two families: Edmonds, believe to be of Beguildy, and Harding (for which I have not barely a clue). I am enclosing what is known or suspected below, and would appreciate any suggestions for further research. I am searching for *Thomas Edmonds*, born circa 1805-09. Son of Thomas and Jane Loyd Edmonds. Siblings: John and Jane. Birth Dates cited include: 6 April, 1805 (biography), 7 April, 1808 (headstone), 1809 (1851 Wales Census, if correct). Married *Mary Evans*, born 1804-1808, according to his biography published in the USA. Her parents unknown. Children include: Mary (1833), Margaret, (?), Jane (1840), Anne (?) Jonathan (1842), Edwin (1845), Elizabeth (1848) and Sarah (1850). Mary married *William Harding*, likely after arriving in Wisconsin, USA as first child known to that union was born in 1856. Reputed to have sailed from Liverpool in 1851 and arrived New York. A family that appears a likely match is documented in the 1851 Wales Census: Radnorshire>Creigbyther>District 1a>7. This shows that Thomas was born in Beguildy and his wife Mary was born in LLangunlllo. Children all born in Beguildy. Thank you very much in advance for any assistance that can be offered. If I can in anyway return a research service here, please do not hesitate. Kind regards, Mary Ann Harding Lincoln Nebraska USA

Take a look at my web page on just this topic at http://www.jimella.nildram.co.uk/counties.htm It is mainly based on my knowledge of England rather than Wales but (subject to correction by those more knowledgeable of Wales) I don't think the differences are very great, if there are any.

Mary I have a mortgage document of 1848 for Tynycoed farm Beguildy showing a Thomas Edmunds as one of its occupiers up to shortly before that date. May be unconnected but the surname doesn't seem to appear in the parish much thereafter and I know that family of the adjacent property emigrated to Wisconsin around 1846. regards Jon Lloyd Cardiff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Harding" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 4:30 PM Subject: [POWYS] Seeking Edmonds, Radnorshire, Beguildy parish > Greetings.
