The Journal of Edward Roberts, 1845-1865 A Mormon Testimony - The Journal of Edward Roberts, 1845-1865 Davrn A. PnnrrY F.o.* rtz Mo Ud*W-t W, r f . DTtvJt A MORMON TESTIMONY - THE JOURNAL OF EDWARD ROBERTS. 1845-1865 D,q,vro A. Pnsrrv' Gladstone's description of Wales as a'nation of nonconformists' was well exemplified in the county of Montgomeryshire. Denominational allegiances according to the 1851 Census of Religious Worship show clearly how dissent had triumphed at the expense of the Established Church.2 Differences of belief marked out divergent paths in the same way that differing interpretations over points of theological doctrine and practice gave rise to sundry minority sects. Although the absence of Quakers and Unitarians set a limit to the sectarian diversity in Montgomeryshire, small groups of Primitive Methodists, Arminian and Campbellite Baptists struggled to maintain their distinctive identity. So too did members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons as they were more commonly known, who are credited as having one congregation at Machynlleth in the official returns of 1851. Whereas Anglicans accounted for almost 20 per cent of those who attended a place of worship in the county, the Mormons, ostensibly, amounted to a mere 0.3 per cent of adherents in a single parish. That so few a number should have maintained a peripheral presence in the face of innumerable difficulties underlines the tenacity of their basic religious convictions. Yet, as is too often the case, they command but minor historical interest and are usually overlooked in standard works that devoutly chronicle seemingly greater causes. For the most part, Mormonism was synonymous with Merthyr Tydfil and Captain Dan Jones. Until very recently the only specialised work on the history of the Mormons in Wales came from the pen of T.H. Lewis.3 By now we are much better served. During the last few years Professor Ronald D. Dennis has produced scrupulously researched studies that have opened a new window on the subject.a Every major aspect of Welsh Mormonism has been explored, with special emphasis paid to emigration and the compilation of Mormon literary output in the Welsh language. Tracing the vicissitudes of the Mormon cause at grass-roots level in rural Wales, nevertheless, remains severely restricted as no local records have survived this side of the Atlantic. Mormon activists who emigrated to Salt Lake City took great care to include church records among their few belongings. Within this context, the journal kept by Edward Roberts deserves attention. Edward Roberts came from a humble working class background. Along with other members of his family he was one of the earliest Welsh converts to Mormonism. Indeed, the Roberts family intotowastoprovideadevotednucleusofbelieversforthefaithinmid-Wales.Edward Roberts did not figure prominently, yet he fulfilled an invaluable local role. A list of 94 Mormon meeting houses in Wales in 1857 appended to T.H. Lewis's account includes Dinas Mawddwy and the name of 'Ed. Roberts'.5 In accordance with a church directive in 1855, instructing members to keep written records, he began compiling - in Welsh, and in a fair hand - what was essentially a work of personal piety.

    CYLCHGRAWN MISOL MONTHLY MAGAZINE Rhagfyr/December 2016 50c/50p BRO CYFEILIOG a MAWDDWY. Rheithordy Mallwyd Advent is the time of preparation for a journey, the beginning of Jesus' journey home to his Father, our God. The journey begins with planning and prophecies, and then a joyful send off – the birth of Jesus in the Bethlehem stable. This is the incarnation, “God with us” Julie and I had a week's holiday in Yorkshire recently, staying in the very pleasant town of Skipton. It is nice to have time to read, and so, perhaps appropriately, I read a book by the poet Simon Armitage, called “Walking Home,”describing his walk along the Pennine Way, which passes not far from Skipton. He walked for 2 weeks, in mid summer, through mist and heavy rain. Simon Armitage's book is full of vivid anecdotes, one in particular has stuck in my mind. He tells the story of friends of his, who were also walking the Pennine Way. Setting off one morning from a small Yorkshire Dales' village, to walk the 15 – 20 miles over the moors to their next overnight stop, they are joined by an ever so friendly dog, a golden retriever. They give it such a fuss, that it continues to follow them up the hill. As their village passes out of sight the first twinges of concern begin. “Hey Goldie, it is time that you turned back for home.” But no, Goldie is perfectly happy tagging along! Well surely this dog knows what it is doing, probably follows walkers every day.

  • 'IARRIAGES Introduction This Volume of 'Stray' Marriages Is Published with the Hope That It Will Prove
    S T R A Y S Volume One: !'IARRIAGES Introduction This volume of 'stray' marriages is published with the hope that it will prove of some value as an additional source for the familv historian. For economic reasons, the 9rooms' names only are listed. Often people married many miles from their own parishes and sometimes also away from the parish of the spouse. Tracking down such a 'stray marriage' can involve fruitless and dishearteninq searches and may halt progress for many years. - Included here are 'strays', who were married in another parish within the county of Powys, or in another county. There are also a few non-Powys 'strays' from adjoining counties, particularly some which may be connected with Powys families.

I would like to thank all those members who have helped in anyway with the compilation of this booklet. A second collection is already in progress; please· send any contributions to me.
