Breconshire / Ancestral relevance on Old Chalice
« on: Monday 01 September 25 08:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I have this record of a silver Chalice that was give  to St Michael's Church in Llanfihangel Nant Bran in 1615. Please see attached..

There are two inscriptions on the Chalice that I would like to clarify..
They are:
   G       and          G
T     P                T     B

The incumbent Priest was David John Gwilym and I think the donors of the silver chalice had their own initials inscribed when it was presented to him

I think the "G" in both inscriptions indicate that they were members of the Gwilym family, possibly David John Gwilym's sons. They had initials  T P and T B, so may have had the patrynomic names
TP Gwilym and TB Gwilym, but were better known as Thomas Pugh and Thomas Beavan, both around Merthyr Cynog at that time.

Any Comments will be much appreciated..!
Thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: 1574 Welsh Will of Gwillam ap David Thomas Merthyr Cynog Snippet

Hello Vance Mead,
Thanks for your speedy reply!

According to the Internet 1 pound sterling in 1550s is the equivalent of 346 pounds today, so the inheritance is worth about 40X346 pence = 13,840 pence. about 60 pounds. A bit more than a pittance but not much, Gwillam ap David Ap Thomas was quite a wealthy man so it was a token amount to the Parish Priest.

Best Regards! :) :) :)

Hi,
"Sir" Hughe Evans (a priest) was bequeathed a sum of money in this Will.

I can't decipher or interpret the amount he was given... Please see attached.

How much was it?

All replies will be gratefully received!

Hi!

Please decipher the name underlined in this old Welsh Document

I think the name is John Hugh in the text but the signature is John Hughes?

As always, all information will be gratefully received

Thanks!

Hello Goldie61 1nd GR2 😊The other Bounder was Humphrey Williams Gent of Battle, so it is likely that Hugh Beavan was also a "gent". The squiggle before the "gent" may have been "idem"  latin for "same" (In the same Parish of Battle, Breconshire.

Thanks for your help and expertise!

Hi, Please have a look at the underlined text in this 1674 Bond downloaded from the Library of Wales.
Is Hugh Beavan a Yeoman or a Gentleman?
