Hi Rob

I was in Cwmyoy church the other day and noted that Rev. Lewis Lewis who died Jan 13th 1893 aged 83 years was the vicar there and Llanthony Abbey for 40 years, (His son Laskett who died in 1915 was also a vicar at Cwmyoy) Rev Lewis Lewis's father was Capt. Lewis Lewis from Tynllwyn Hall, Llanfaredd, Radnorshire, near Builth. Do you think there is a connection with the family you are researching in Builth? Perhaps Lewis Lewis and Ann baptised July 12th 1784.

Anne a  sister of Rev Lewis Lewis was a second wife to John Whittall, JP and plantation owner in St Vincent, West Indies who also farmed at Pipton 1851 and was late of Pontywal on his 1858 probate.

On his memorial in St George's Cathedral, St Vincent it also mentions his sister in law Rosa Jane Lewis who died there in the same year, the inscription includes Twnllwyn, Radnorshire.

Thanks

John

Hello All

Your research about the Morris family has been very useful to me and I have now tied up most of the loose ends with Agnes who emigrated to Australia in 1914, if anyone is interested, please let me know.

Hi Acer

Many thanks for your reply, I remember Elvet visiting my Mum when she was in the old folks home, I think he had a three wheeler if my memory isn't playing tricks, I remember visiting Erwood circa 50+ years ago. I wish I'd taken more notice of my late Mum when she as talking about the family.
I only have one Aunty left now and she had a stroke circa 2001 so communication is difficult.

Success! after one more attempt due to successfully posting here  :)

Hello All

I have just read this thread and it is of great interest as my Granny was Eliza Ann who is in the pictures mentioned

I also remember Elvet Powell from Erwood who may have been a son or grandson from Tyle heolog

I hope some of the original posters can contribute some more, maybe Chris, Emily and Osprey?

My great Grandmother Mary Anne Morris (Boore) has her name on two gravestones, on the boxed Boore family memorial in Franksbridge and on her own gravestone with William Morris in Cregrina.
