I thought I'd better follow up my first response with a belated admission that there is indeed a Vainor/Vaenor in CGN. My own CGN Genuki pages, see below, show it as a township in Llanbadarn fawr ! Can anyone help Lyn with some more useful input ? ############# "VAINOR ISA (VAENOR - ISÂV), a township in that part of the parish of LLANBADARN-VAWR. which is in the lower division of the hundred of GENEU'R GLYN county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 1 rnile (N. N. E.) from Aberystwith, containing 186 inhabitants. It lies on the sea-coast, and contains several pleasing residences. The Duke of Leeds, as lord of the manor of Vainor, receives five shillings per ton on the coal brought coastwise to Aberystwith, by virtue of a grant made by Charles I. A portion of the township is included within the new boundaries of the contributory borough of Aberystwith. The poor are maintained by a separate assessment, the average annual expenditure amounting to £90.11." "VAINOR UCHA (VAENOR-UCHÂV ), a township in that part of the parish of LLANBADARN-VAWR which is in the lower division of the hundred of GENEU'R GLYN, county of CARDIGAN, SOUTH WALES, 2 miles (E. N. E.) from Aberystwith, containing 384 inhabitants. The northern part of this township is partially wooded, and here are a few large upright stones, standing apart, which are apparently of great antiquity; it is bounded on the south by the river Rheidiol. The poor are maintained by a separate assessment, the average annual expenditure amounting to £ 86.14." ################ Gareth List administrator for DYFED, CGN & PEM Genuki Wales http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/ Lookup Exchange http://home.clara.net/tirbach/lookup.html Help Page http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gareth" <Roots@johngareth.freeserve.co.uk> To: "Lyn Nunn" <lnunn@bigpond.net.au>; <WLS-CARDIGANSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 1:59 PM Subject: Re: [WLS-CGN] Williams of Vaenor > Hi Lyn > Is this not Vaynor/Faenor parish in Breconshire ? > > Gareth > List administrator for DYFED, CGN & PEM > Genuki Wales http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/ > Lookup Exchange http://home.clara.net/tirbach/lookup.html > Help Page http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html > . > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Lyn Nunn" <lnunn@bigpond.net.au> > To: <WLS-CARDIGANSHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2003 9:44 PM > Subject: [WLS-CGN] Williams of Vaenor > > > > Hello everyone, > > > > New to this list and I am wondering if anyone has information regarding > the > > Williams family of Vaenor.
