Hi Dai in the 1841 census there is a Barbara Thomas living in Bonvilston born 1876, she is living with her 20 year old daughter Mary, I believe Bonvilston and Pentrych are very close together, so possibly she is your Barbara


Best Wishes Bethan

Hi Dai

There's a copy of the will of William Thomas on the National Library of Wales site  http://hdl.handle.net/10107/827118.  It mentions five children - Evan, Iseiah, Mary, Noah and Martha, a brother John and his wife Barbara.

Best wishes

Ruth
