Here's some more on the Mantle family... My ancestor Evan Mantle was born in Radnorshire c1809. The actual parish of birth varies on each census but an Evan Mantle was baptised at Llananno in 1809. However, I'm aware that some parish records (eg for St Harmon) are missing so I've been unable to check the whole of the County. Evan Mantle raised a large family at Newchapel, Hengynwydd (Llandinam), near Llanidloes, Montgomeryshire and had a number of wives (due to various illnesses). Evan died in 1887 and is buried at Newchapel Baptist Chapel. Kevin, our ancestor's final address was, indeed, Caeglas which was situated near the Van Lead Mines (Y Fan). However, Evan spent nearly all his life on the south side of the Severn at Newchapel working as a lead miner and labourer. A number of Evan's sons migrated to the Rhondda (Ferndale and Ton Pentre) in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and worked in coal mining. One of them was my ancestor William Mantle (1840-1901) who married Sarah Lawrence (1843-1815) of Cwmdauddwr. They lived at Tylwch, Radnorshire from around 1870 to 1883. His first daughter, Sarah Jane (1872-1903), was born at Cwmbelan, Montgomeryshire (2 miles north of Tylwch). William Mantle once worked on the Mid Wales railway as a platelayer. His father, Evan, also worked in a similar capacity at one stage. Evan Mantle may well be connected to the Llanbadarn Fynydd Mantle family if I'm able to trace the family back to the 1700s. Graham, Tricia and Shirley - please contact me off list if you'd like to. Kevin - good to hear from you again. My efforts to fully document the life of our mutual ancestor, Evan Mantle, continue. Evan's epitaph reads: In Affectionate Memory of Evan Mantle, Late of Topypant, Llandinam who died December 17th 1887 Aged 79 years. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord" I'm sure Evan would be proud to know that he has descendants in every corner of the world! Thanks for reading.

My earliest ancestor was John Holmes from Yorkshire who ran a woolen mill in Beriew - late c18th. In the parish registers a John Holmes married Margaret Blayney in 1789 at Berriew. Gwynne's Marriage Index shows Margaret BLAYNEY, married (by banns) 17 October 1789 at Berriew, John HOLMES. His son, Richard Holmes, was Mayor of Llanidloes 1849 and owned the Cwmbelan wool factory, Llanidloes (SN 948 816)In C. E. Vaughan Owen 'An Arwystli Notebok', p.36 in 1852 one of the founding Directors of the Llanidloes-Newtown line was Alderman Richard Holmes [the line's contractor was David Davies of Llandinam]. Edith Holmes' g-grandmother was Hannah Titley of Glangynwydd (alias Titley's and Penpompren) Mill. Has anyone got an interest? Richard's g-grand-daughter Edith Holmes married David Thomas Mantle of Llandinam. His Grandfather was Evan Mantle of Cae Glas. Anyone encountered the Mantle's particularly Evan? David's mother was Jane Gravenor of Llandinam (father was Thomas).
