My 3xG/Grandfather was David Price, He was born about 1785 in Llangamarch and lived and died at Gwebedog, Tirabad. He's buried in the Gelynos cemetery just outside Llanwrtyd Wells. Very little else is known of his origins other than the fact that his appearances on the census returns describe him as a mason. He was "chapel" and no other records have been found. He was married on 27th December 1816 in Llangamarch. The BT's give his residence at the time as "Tir Garw". His gravestone in Gelynos is photographed here: http://www.mypicshare.com/hyhquarxpic.html The adjoining grave is for David & Sarah Price: http://www.mypicshare.com/7u6sfsbtpic.html The two stones are separate from all the others and do appear to be "paired" together. The conclusion that I'm keen to make is that they are father and son. The rest of the cemetery is peppered with Price's. I've reconstructed many of the families: http://www.mypicshare.com/nlrcli4dpic.html There is a William Price who is buried here who I have traced on the 1841, 1851, 1861 & 1871 censuses. In the first two censuses his residence is Ty Newdd, Llangamarch & in the second two Ty Garw. He also has three sons, David, James & William who in turn on the census's are described as masons. So, I have the place name Tir Garw that re-occurs, the profession of mason and the two gravestones next to each other. This is tantalisingly close to demonstrating that the two Davids are father & son but not conclusive. Can anyone suggest anything? Andrew Andrew Price www.pricetree.net

Thanks for that Martin. Another brick wall falls!

Is anyone able to translate "Ty Garw" into in English? As far as I'm aware it's the name of a house in Llangamarch. Andrew Andrew Price www.pricetree.net

Hi Andrew, Ty means house and Garw means rough or bumpy. It would therefore possibly refer to the mature of it's original construction? Just an idea!!
