NANTMEL (NANT-MAEL) is a parish in the hundred of RHAIADR, county of RADNOR, SOUTH WALES. The property of -- Evans, Esq., is in this parish. MAESGWYN forms the south-eastern portion of the parish, and was formerly called Uwch Coed. At the base of the barren eminence termed Rhiw graidd, on the north-western side, is a fine sheet of water, about a mile in circumference, called Llyn Gwyn. Near this, and close to the left bank of the Dulais river, is Llwynbaried House, now the property of - Evans, Esq. www.ancestry.co.uk 1841 Wales Census Name: John Evans Age: 20 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1821 Gender: Male Where born: Radnorshire, Wales Civil Parish: Nantmel Hundred: Rhayader County/Island: Radnorshire Country: Wales Registration district: Rhayader Sub-registration district: Nantmel www.familysearch.org (I am doubting this one) MATTHEW SULLIVAN Birth: 19 OCT 1856 Ballingarry Rc Parish, Tipperary, Ireland Father: MATTHEW SULLIVAN Mother: MARY CAHILL 1881 British Census Matthew SULLIVAN Birth Year <1856> Birthplace Pultney St, Middlesex, England Age 25 Occupation Bricklayer Marital Status U <Unmarried> Head of Household Matthew SULLIVAN Relation Head Dwelling 3 Spring Street Census Place London, Middlesex, England www.rootsweb.com--This John Evans born in different place in Wales. He had 3 sisters named Mary and a brother named Thomas (born between 1809 and 1818). John EVANS Birth: 1821 in Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales Baptism: 26 DEC 1821 Cardiff Father: Edward EVANS b: 1792 in Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales Mother: Hannah MORGAN b: 1796 in Cardiff, South Glamorgan Are you sure that Matthew Sullivan is the father to John Evans (b. 1882)?? Could it be through adoption?? I couldn't find either of the John Evans that listed Matthew as a father or son. You probably have already tried these, but I'm going to suggest them just to make sure. Have you tried to find John's baptism information? (Nantel baptisms from 1742-1992 are available on microfilm) Have you tried to find Mathew's will? If not, these sites can tell you how to do so: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/RAD/ind... http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/RAD/Nan... http://www.powys.gov.uk/index.php?id=653 Here's more re: finding wills: From 1858 wills have been proved at secular district probate registries. For Montgomeryshire wills searchers should contact the Shropshire Records Office, and for Breconshire and Radnorshire searchers should contact the Herefordshire Record Office. Both offices have compiled indexes to the will volumes. Alternatively wills and letters of administration for England and Wales from 11 Jan 1858 are available from the Principal Probate Registry of the Family Division, First Avenue House, 42-49 High Holborn, London, WC1V 6NP (tel: 020 7936 7000). |
