Monmouthshire / Re: Rees-1901-Property Purchase Society

Shaun J - I did go on the National Library of Wales newspaper site - I'm not good with old newspapers.  And I'm especially not good with parliamentary debates.  It seems there was a parliamentary debate in 1899 about poor people having the ability to buy houses, and how much the government should or should not be involved, and tax implications.  But my mind got tangled.  https://newspapers.library.wales/view/3431715/3431720/102/Property%20purchase%20society 

Maybe this article has something to do with it - but I just don't have enough understanding to make it out.

Monmouthshire / Rees-1901-Property Purchase Society

Hi
In the 1901 Wales Census, Bedwellty, Tredegar, for Sylvanus Rees, his occupation is recorded as 'Agent:Property Purchase Society.'
Does anyone know anything about a Property Purchase Society? 

Thanks

Hi there,
I have recently arrived in Abergwesin with my family research.  The family I am researching is the family of William Evans and Catherine Jones.  My link is through their son John Evans who was born in the area between 1837 and 1841.  I have found birth records for his brother Thomas (15 April 1841), and sister Mary (17 April 1844) where the birth place is written as Garrgyfrân or Garregyfrân, Llandewi-Abergwesin.  I can find Abergwesin, but the first place (probably a farm) I cannot find.

I would love to know where this place is - find it on a map - see a photo.  Can anyone help?
