Many thanks John, and a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to You and All our Listers. I have been studying the Llanidloes Edmund Cleaton family for over 20 years and have yet to find a positve link to Edmund (1805-1881) He is in the large Cleaton family Tree and photographs with many others in the book "Llanidloes Town and Parish" by Mr ER Morris a retired teacher and a local Historian. My father William Harold Cleaton was born in one of the cottages by the Glyn and Peters/Cribine factories by the Clywedog River that you know now.The book is on sale at the Great Oak Bookshop in Llanidloes, mine is lost for the moment!! Edmund was a CM Minister and twice Mayor at Llanidloes, and those records are in the Llandrndod Powys Archives here, wilth copies of many Cleaton Wills in NLW Aberystwwth. Edmund died at his daughters house in Liverpool in 1881, and I found his 3xgt grandaughters in Liverpool University links just a few years ago, and I have Emails with one Suzanne Easton in Wiltshire. I have also found that four of my1841 Cleaton Trefeglwys people went to Ohio and Wisconsin by 1860, others were ithe Newtown and Dolfor area up to recent times on Census records,etc, One is in South Africa, and one in Sydney in OZ, and two ladies in LA USA, also on Emails now. The Cleaton name is in Llanidloes records for 1573 and at Shelve in Shropshire in NA Records with a Roger de Cleaton , and at Myddle in Salop, and in Herefordshire, with one I knew in Shefield, and two in London, Some in South Wales in 1881 ex Montgomeryshire to the coal mines..... There are many Cleatons on the Bill Barker CD for MGY Familes 1675-1825, all very good with 550 other records that I can lend you... .With Best wishes, Dennis, Please ring me on 01597 824082 for more details.....I have a Y DNA. E 3b1a Group that links me to Roman Soldiers in Chester and N Wales, and Prestina in Kosovo and North Africa!!!, ETC.

Recently, I've been studying some of the 'Montgomeryshire Collections' published by the Powysland Club looking for references to Griffiths families in Llanidloes and Llandinam in the early 19th century. While reading an article on Llanidloes in Volume 5 yesterday, I came across a reference to a Mr Edmund Cleaton who built the 'Glyn Factory' circa 1838. Tha factory was: "on the left bank of the Clywedog . . . on a piece of land leased from Mr Mytton of Pen-y-lan. It has been enlarged on more than one occasion, and is now [1878] one of the largest and most commodious mills in the neighbourhood, fitted up with machinery for all purposes connected with the manufacturing and finishing of flannel. A large fulling mill, and cottages for the work people are attached. It now forms part of the Welsh Flannel and Tweed Company." There are several other references to Edmund Cleaton in the pages following the above quote. He seems to have been an important man in Llanidloes in the mis 19th century. I wondered if you know about this Edmund Cleaton, and whether he is a relative of yours? The full citation for the above reference is: "A Parochial Account of Llanidloes" (Chapter 2), by Edward Hamer, in "Collections Historical and Archaeological Relating to Montgomeryshire - Volume 5", published by the Powysland Club, London 1872; page 39 et seq. A full set of these early Montgomeryshire Collections is held by Newtown Public Library and probably other libraries in Powys.
