Have a wonderful visit! I live in England, close enough for day visits to
the place of my birth in Wales yet even after fifty year I still feel a
sense of excitement and anticipation as we drive through Montgomeryshire
along the valley of the River Severn bringing back happy memories of
paddling in the river in childhood. I was born just a few miles from the
source.

Cindy,
You can order the Bishop's Transcripts for Guilsfield from the nearest LDS
(Mormon) family history center on microfilm. There are some years missing
but, essentially, they cover 1667 to 1859. The original parish register is
held at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. There is no online
version of parish registers that I'm aware of.

David,
The entry below from the 1881 Census Index looks to be a good match for your
Joseph Evan JONES, but I would suggest you obtain the 1891 Census for
Llanfair Caereinion or Llanfyllin and locate the family that year
(microfiche available from the LDS Family History Centers) -- that
information would be the most helpful to corroborate this finding. Also,
obtaining the marriage certificate of Joseph Evan JONES and wife.

Hi Dottie,
I may be able to help just a little bit. Here are the Elizabeth GRIFFITHS of
around the right age at 1851 on the Powys (MGY) census transcription. 1. is
with her family but
2. and 3. I am afraid are not which is unfortunate. Re. the stated birth at
Oswestry, don`t be too concerned over that one as I have been tripped up on
it. All three villages
could very easily be classed as Oswestry as they are all `only just down the
road` as it were!! Can you imagine the conversation between the enumer
I'm new to this list and would like to post my interests:
My maternal ggrandmother was Elizabeth Roberts (latterly Edwards, formerly Griffith). This wording is taken from the birth certificate of her daughter, Jane Elizabeth Roberts, my grandmother. The
problem I have is finding where she came from. The information varies on the Llandudno census returns. The Roberts family lived in the Llandudno/Llanrhos area of North Wales on a smallholding called
Pant-y-Ffynnon. This house name was a family home sinc
Hello,
I'm trying to trace Joseph Evan Jones, a butcher and father to my

I would be grateful for any information you may have about Joseph Evan Jones
and his wife, Mary Jones, their family and their ancestors.

David Milton Jones

I know that there are a few list members who live in or near the county of
Powys. They might be interested to know that the PRO has told me that the
1901 Census web-site should be available from computer terminals in Powys
Libraries from this afternoon.

Thanks, Keith Roberts.
Could someone tell me where the records for the Guildsfild parish are

Hi Dottie, I am an EDWARDS with a great-grandfather, John Henry EDWARDS,
(not too uncommon, heehee) born in Newtown, Montgomeryshire in July of 1872.
He was the son of John and Martha COOPER EDWARDS. Possible grandparents are
Richard and Martha EDWARDS. John (1872) emmigrated to USA around 1890 and so
obviously difficult to trace. Thought I'd put the information out
there...you never know. Peggy Edwards in RI
