  • Thank you for looking for me. Is this something I can access? There maybe other family members who were farmers in the village.
    Also is it possible to find out what the population was in 1840 and how many marriages took place each year. Also who were the clergy. I’m trying to identify witnesses on the wedding certificate.

  • According to a “Religious Census: 1851” the population of Llanhilleth was 899, made up of 509 males and 390 females. Regarding clergy etc you may find what you’re looking for on the “Friends of St. Illtyd’s” website. There’s quite an extensive history of the church there, which I’ve not gone through looking for the information you are looking for. Something else that may be a source for you are the local “Directories”. I recently bought a disc on eBay from STEVEGARTONGENEALOGY.COM titled “Llanhilleth Directories” and contained 5 of them dated 1859,1868,1871,1914 and 1931. They list lots of names of various sections of the community, as does “Kelly’s Directory of Monmouthshire: 1901″and this is available online. Good luck in your search.

  • My ancestors wedding certificate says she lived at the farm when she married in Llanhilleth parish church. Can anyone tell me how I find out which family lived at the farm about 1840? Her name was Ann(e) Davies daughter of John Davies.

  • The Heritage Society have a Directory, dated 1859, that includes a list of farmers. There are a number listed as located in Llanhilleth but, unfortunately, it doesn’t give the names of most of the farms. I’ve looked at the list and there are no Davies’ listed. There was an Ann Lewis, Gilfach.
    I’m sorry we couldn’t be more help.
