Gloucestershire / The Bennett/Maylett Families of Pontardawe and Swansea
« on: Monday 17 June 13 16:32 BST (UK)  »
Hello I am trying to find out some information about my 3rd Grandparents, Charles Samuel Bennet born 1850 in Morton in the March Worcs and Elizabeth Maylett born 1847 in  Mickelton, Glos. The family moved to Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley in the late 1800s as Charles had a job on the railway.
Any information on the Maylet or Bennett families would be appreciated.
My 2nd Grandmother Sarah and husband David Williams lived on a Farm called Plas Newydd near Cwmgors in the 1900s.

Many thanks for that info, I thought it odd as there are no dates on the Tree.

Thanks for that info.

I have been given a copy of a Powell Tree (I think it is from book THE HISTORY OF BRECKNOCK)

On it it lists a Elinor Powell who married a William Powell of Cwmpadest, her sisters are Sarah, Mary, Margaret and a brother Walter. The name Walter, is in my line my Grandfather, Ggrandfather and GGgrandfather.

Will try and find further information at the weekend.

Garfydd,

 

Many thanks for the info on the Powells of Cwmpadest, all very interesting. What a coincidence that your Grandmother was a caretaker there. I would be grateful for any further information.

 I googled a few names at the weekend and got in touch with a lady from NZ who it seemed was researching the same family back in 2006. I seems that her ancestor Mary and my Elinor were sisters and the brother was Walter Powell Attorney for Brecon. The parents being David and Margaret Powell of Abersenny. It seems there is a connection with Clydach Ironworks.


 I have been told that there should be some information in the Book History of Brecnok by Theophilus Jones (must have a read of this book) Do you know if the Morgans were related to the Jeffreys of Llywel?

 

I wonder if you can help with Elinor's daughter Margaret who married Morgan Morgans from Llywel, the daughter Rachel married a Thomas Powell who I believe might have been a Blacksmith in Devynock. I would love to find out where they are buried. I have visited Devynock Church on a few occasions but at the time the graves I found with the surname Powell did not ring any bells.


Thank You.
