Agree. It's nice to find others who shared the same places (and surnames) as some of my ancestors. Also, finding them there always makes me remember the times that I've been around those places

I now have a marriage cert for Edward Edwards and ELizabeth Roberts but I'm not too sure about it. They were married on 7 May 1842 in a chapel in Llanfyllin. She's 27 and he's 29. His father is Daniel Edwards and hers is Cadwaladr Roberts. The witnesses were Daniel Edwards and Gwen Roberts. If I had the correct people, they had two children before 1842 so this marriage is unlikely to be theirs. There's always the possibility that my research is wrong, though. I can't find a Cadwaladr Roberts that fits.  There is another marriage between Edward Edwards and an Elizabeth Roberts that is muddying the waters but this one is Edward Pryce Edwards. A bit more digging needed here!

My 2x greats (Robert Roberts and Margaret Ellis) married in Llansilin  in 1854. Margaret's abode was Rhydleos. 

If this is correct, I have some photos of the farm somewhere.
