  I can't remember where I got the record from. I gathered the details of this family a long time ago, certainly before the will of Edward was found but I'm sure that it must be there somewhere. The registration of marriages began in the Lledrod area in 1775 and the registration of births at around the same time. We haven't found a marriage for any alternative couple and no birth records for anyone born in the 1700's either.

Two things I am going to try to look at later,both revolving around the family of Joseph Davies(1780 will).He refers to another son Edward,who may be the subject of a will from Llanyre,Radnorshire.He refers to a son Joseph but the timing is awkward for the stated 1794 of the censuses and impossible for "Aurelia",unless his wife remarried,so that she was a sort of half step sister.
Of more interest,we now have two Rhyd Lwyd "records".
Margaret Richards in 1762
Margaret,sister of David Davies(1806 will)(therefore daughter of "1780" Joseph Davies)
Could they be the same person,providing the Davies/Richards link?

 Just spotted a snag in my details for (my) Jane. If the age at death on the grave is correct, (my DoB was 1758, (should be 1754), ( I thought at one time that she and the Rev, John were twins), then she would have given birth to Joseph at the age of 40 and Jane at 41, quite late for a first child. If they are not the correct couple, then they wouldn't have been living in such a remote  area or be that old.
 Keep tracking the link between the folk at Rhyd Llwyd. (Where is it by the way?)
                                                  Regards, Peter

Additional thought. We mustn't forget that Joseph Davies is described by Edward as "nephew". This could, of course, indicate another sister of Edward. one that we haven't found yet, married to a Davies!
Dates for the birth of the children are; 1754, 1758, 1759 and 1763.

I've just "remembered" - the quote:

"John Davies married Margaret,daughter of Joseph Davies of Penlan"
(I think this applied to the 1760 freeholder from Llangeitho with interest in Scrygos.

There seems to be so many connections between these Richards and Davies families,just need to pin down the precise details.

Again,the will of Peter Davies Glynne Ucha (will 1746 ),has his daughter Ann Williams at Derigaron.

I've just found a snippet giving Edward Davies and his wife Ann at Rhydlwyd in 1806.

RHhyd LLwyd is the site of the Calvinist Methodist Chapel at Lledrod which I think was used for a school.I think a Rev.Thomaa Richards(Aberystwyth?) was headmaster there at  some point.

  Thanks for the info,.
 Don't forget that I'm on CET here so I'm an hour in front. You may notice that I go "off line" at about this time. It makes me laugh when people say that 'Sudoku' keeps the mind of old-folk occupied. They need to try finding their forebears from Lledrod in the 1700s !
                                               regards, Peter.

I'm trying to resolve the apparent anomaly in which the following(left page)appears to give a completely different wife for the Reverend Thomas Richards of Scrygog

The "Jane Austen" reference gives a Mary Morice as the niece of Thomas Richards.Going out again shortly but  the connection is through James Morice(1765-1839,will available),Mary Morice(1761-1845,will available) and this
