Title: Llanfiangel Nant Bran records
Post by: MyHowells on Thursday 11 October 12 11:12 BST (UK)

Hi,
Does anyone know of any HOWELLS living in Llanfiangel Nant Bran around 1832.
I have a William Howells "groom of Llanfiangel Nant Bran" who married Margaret James in Dyffynog 21st May 1832.
All my census returns for William say he was born in Senny, so do not know why he would have had a connection with Llanfiangel Nant Bran.
I have totally failed to find any HOWELLS connections with Heol Senni although he and his family lived there most of their lives.
Thanks

Wm.Howells was living in Lfhnbran at the times of the banns. Margaret James was the d/o John James & was chr. at Cefnarthen 1810, aged 2y 3m. This couple had 6 dau. & 2sons. One daughter died before chr. 1 son died in Ballart, Australia, the other son was a blacksmith at Godrewaungoch. There is a M.I (23.8 in my survey) at Brychgoed. John the blacksmith was the gt.gd.father of Mrs Thomsd, nee Howells, Bryncoch.
