Thanks for that.
All my searches are in and around Mynyddislwyn - Given that Risca is just a few miles away - especially if you are on the mountains, then this could well be the lead I am looking for.
Can I ask - Did you use the OPC for this?
I did go on to the Monmouthshire OPC but I struggled to find my way around.
I've been using the Cornwall OPC for my side, and find that site so much easier to use.
Any links much appreciated.
Also, this week Husband (Aurelius) and I taking the Ancestry DNA test, so we hope that this may throw a bit of light on the search too.
This name change really does make life hard - I can deal with 20 versions of the family name (mine) of Flamank, as they are quite a documented Cornish family, but when it's a lesser-known
 family you really do have to throw yourself on the mercy of the OPC, and of course, the kind people
 of Rootschat!
I did actually stumble on the fact that AURELIUS has a Swedish history, and I have looked at a lot of Swedish records but none that would like me to the father of HARRY AU(RELIUS) B. around 1730. I have tracked is son, my husband's direct descendent right down to him (husband) so Harry/ Henry is the last in my trackable line at the moment. I have married to MARY HARRY, and that's it.
The change to RELIUS is very interesting though.
I was born in Cwmfelinfach and I have extensively walked Twmbarlywm in Risca and Mynyddislwyn so having local knowledge of the area has really helped.

Hello
I have a direct descendant called ELIZABETH ROUS OR ROWSE as it is sometimes written.
Born: in Edmerston, Devon
Marr: 27 Jul 1622 in Modbury, Devon
Buried: 9 Oct 1632
She married
Barnard FLAMANK OF
BOSCARNE
Bap: 27 Aug 1598 in Boscarne
Died 27th October 1658

Their marriage was celebrated in a shield which is now stored in Bodmin Museum and heres the link http://www.bbc.co.uk/ahistoryoftheworld/objects/zislk_AfRM21OI9fR6fHbw
The shield was part of a BBC programme called "Cornwall in 100 Objects" so it is viewed as typically Cornish.
They are my 10th great grandparents.
As I am following someone else's "tree" I am attempting to verify my direct ancestors, namely grandparents at this point, so have no details on siblings and parents for Elizabeth Rowse/ Rous at the moment.
You have her birth date and location, so this may be of help.

It is user supplied information with no sources so view with extreme caution and verify all data you find there or don't use it.

That's exactly how I would view it - as a guide only.....once you get the "hints" then the spade work has to be done to back this up.

Try googling it and reading what the BBC magazine has to say about it,  fantasy land is one persons opinion.

Is the BBC magazine "Who do you think you are"? If not, which magazine are you talking about?
I am googling it, and reading through what I am finding - looking for input based on experiences here too.
Thanks
