Hi Andrew, I see from this message that you had wrongly stated Ty Garw instead of Tir Garw for this small holding (as it turns out to be!). Tir Garw means rough land or rough ground. This makes more sense! So ignore my previous reply!! Regards, Hilary -----Original Message----- From: powys-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:powys-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Price Sent: 20 June 2007 22:36 To: powys@rootsweb.com Subject: [POWYS] Am I assuming too much - Price, Llangamarch 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?
