Presdees of Brynmawr
« on: Sunday 29 May 11 22:47 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have any info re Presdee family, moved to Brynmawr from Hereford/worcester in 1800s. Josiah born in Bromyard c 1828 & married in 1847 to Jane Price. I have found out quite a bit about the family but everytime I think I am getting  on ok someone vanishes from the records!  Doesn't help that the records wander between Breconshire & Monmouthshire. I know Brynmawr quite well - my father was born there.  Thanks

Hi I assume the people below are the one's you are looking for.

1851 Wales Census
HO107/2490/443 p 18

Twyn Blaenant (Between Nantyglo and Brynmawr ) in the parish of Llanelly

Josiah Presdee, B 1828, Bromyard Herefordshire. Head. Coalminer
Jane Presdee, B 1831 Llanelly Wife
Josiah Presde B 1841 Llanelly Son

Something a little strange in the age of the son. Census does say 10.

Hope this helps,
Cheers Tinker

Yep - Josiah was born in 1850 so it should read 1 not 10. Yes they are my lot, just can't find some of them in BDM, you would think Presdee/Pressdee/Presdy would be easy to find, much easier than Jones, my other brynmawr connection! Thanks for the contact.
