Yeah I have, it was Dorgloyd farm that was throwing me as all I could see was Maes-Eglwys.

I have the same for Thomas Thomas in census 1841
Strange that there is another Pontpren with a Francis family but they do not appear consecutively on the census. I would have presumed if it was the same property the entries would be next to each other.

The tithe maps show The farm Maes-eglwys for Morgan Grey which is just west of Dorglwyd. 
Is Maes-Eglwys an additional farm for Morgan Grey as he shows as being occupier for a lot of plots

Not had any wills for my ancestors. Davies’ very much working class so wouldnt have had anything. 1920’s/30’s  in Merthyr they are all unemployed miners as there was 80% unemployment at the time I believe.

Thanks for all this, its fascinating.

I've managed to get the wills regarding Evan Grey. Also I have ordered a Marriage cert for Thomas Davies (John Davies, and Eleanor Thomas' son)
 It was mentioned that you were getting Eleanor's death cert, could you let me know details when you get it.

thanks

Paul

No I haven’t seen the wills. I could see them being mentioned in posts.

Also I don’t have a Sylvia in my tree but I actually live on Barry Island. Do you know what street the shop was on?

Richard John Davies ended up in Barry and died there in 1919. I liked for his and his sons grave a few weeks back

Hi, fantastic to have received a reply from you.
I have been trawling through some of your posts as you seem to have a lot of information on the Davies family.

I came across your post by chance as I was attempting to google the residence on the marriage cert of John Davies and Eleanor Thomas. Today I found their marriage cert online as I was about to purchase it along with John Davies' death cert.
I decend from their son Thomas Davies b1845
I started researching the Davies family as my grandfather was adopted and I knew nothing of his real mother. Luckily he retained his birth name.


I am also in contact with a decendant of their other son Richard John Davies 1849-1919

Who is it that you decend from?
