Sorry, I didn't realise replies would not go automatically to the list. Hi Gareth Bradney says Cardigan and I found there is/was a Vaenor in Llanbadarn Fawr Parish Cardiganshire using GENUKI. I checked Burkes extinct & dormant Baronetcies and found the Williams of Vaynor Breconshire that you may be thinking of. That family doesn't fit with Bradney's info which has the male line continuing until 1754, Burkes has it extinct about 1693 and apart from William Williams no other names fit. At first I thought the boundaries had changed but on my maps Llanbadarn Fawr is near Aberystwyth so I don't think that can be right but *please* correct me if I am wrong about anything. This is the first part of the tree that I have so far but I am sure there must be more to it.
