Thanks for the extra info. I must appologise for not getting back to you sooner but I can't get back home before 7pm at any time or any day.
Thanks for all your help.
Maybe I should research more on the Lewis side.
I have written to the Brynhonddu Country House to enquire whether or not they still have any contact with the people who donated the photograph.
Again, many thanks

Pps.
From the info I have found so far re Ely, I'm sure it is the Rev Edwin Ely. The problem is that in a family group photograph the ages dont seem to match up and that is why I was wondering if it is of his son's family, which doesn't match up either.
I can't find anything regarding the Rev. Morgan Morgan family and how they connected with the Ely family. Maybe they appear in the photographs.
Kind Regards

Ok, back again. Apparently the photo on that site was donated by the Lewis family who visited from The States and who are descendants of the Ely line.
I have researched the Ely family of Edwin A Ely, b. Edwyn Ely 1838 Gloucester.m. Maria Ely b.1846 in Stafford (her maiden name not given).This information I found in a probate research of Rev. Edwin Ely.
I do not want to put you to any trouble. I have scanned all photographs at 400 dpi & after resizing could send to the relevent descendant.
I was hoping that a descendant somewhere out there may have photographs to compare for identification.
Many thanks for all the information.

do you have the Rev. Morgan Morgan's will?

Does the Lewis in your title refer to the family of Peter J Lewis, vicar of Cwmyoy, who married Tirzah, the daughter of the Rev. Morgan?

Is any of this the sort of info you're looking for? To save me wasting your time & yours.

Gosh, this is my first post ever. I can't be sure about the Morgan side. The way I got involved with the Lewis family was when I typed in the search engine requesting any photo of Edwin (Edwyn) Ely. A site appeared called "The History of Brynhonddu Country House". It is the same house as in my photo, (an earlier version with the conservatory). Sorry, my message space is disappearing. I will send another post.

I am researching the connection between the Morgan Morgan and Ely family at the time when they were living at Bwlch Trewyn House, Pandy, Abergavenny. I have photographs of the family house at the time when there was a conservatory attached, presumable, from records found, where the stone steps led up to the ballroom.
There are a few clues which may help with identification.
On the back of the Bwlch Trewyn House is written; Katie M Ely.
On the back of a photograph of a man of about 50yrs is written; Wife Katharine Ely Dec? 1880. The photographers card is W M Gillard Clarence st, Gloucester, award 1879.
On the back of a photograph of a young woman holding a baby is written; Lillian Haselden Antonia Ely. The photographers card is W H Bustin, Hereford.
On the back of a photograph of a baby is written; E.H.R.B. aged 5 1/2 months. The photographers card is Lock & Whitfield, Ealing. W.
On the back of a photograph of an older lady is written; Silvester. The photographers card is Hugh Watson, West Bromwich.
I would dearly love to put names to all these faces. There are about 30 in total including 3 soldiers.
Any information would be much appreciated.
