[generalNote]: Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note The first occupant of Plas Machynlleth (or Greenfields) was John Edwards (d. 1789), a Machynlleth solicitor, who purchased the property in the 1750s. He was the third son of Lewis Edwards of Talgarth, Merionethshire. His third wife was Cornelia Owen, daughter and heiress of Richard Owen of Garth, Llanidloes. This marriage bought to the family the Garth estate and the profitable Van lead mines. On the sale of parts of the Peniarth estate he acquired more property along the Dyfi Valley. On the death of his son, Sir John Edwards, in 1850, the estate passed to his daughter, Mary Cornelia. In 1846 Mary married George Henry Robert Charles Vane-Tempest (d. 1884), second son of Charles William, 3rd Marquess of Londonderry. George succeeded his half brother, Frederick as the 5th Marquess of Londonderry in 1872. In 1873 the Marquess of Londonderry owned an estimated 10,084 acres in Wales (in Montgomeryshire and Merionethshire), with an estimated rental of £6,082. However, although owning estates in Ireland, County Durham and Londonderry House in London, the family made Plas Machynlleth their principal home. After the death of George, 5th Marquess of Londonderry, Mary continued to reside at Plas Machynlleth until her own death in 1906. Her third son, Herbert Lionel Vane-Tempest, continued to live at Plas Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 GB 0210 PLAETH Plas Machynlleth Estate Records (formerly Plas MachynllethMachynlleth MSS until and his Documents death in 1921. and TheLondonderry estate then Collection), passed to Herbert's nephew, Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart, 7th Marquess of Londonderry, who did not reside at Plas Machynlleth. This, together with the burden of heavy taxation, forced the sale of most of the estate. In 1948 the 7th Marquess presented Plas Machynlleth and the parkland comprising some 40 acres to the town of Machynlleth. The estate was finally liquidated in 1951. Natur a chynnwys | Scope and content Records of the Welsh estates of the marquesses of Londonderry, mostly in the Machynlleth area of Montgomeryshire, 1604-1923.

  • '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. For those researchers puzzled and confused by the thought of dealing with patronymics, when looking for their Welsh ancestors, a few are to be found here and are ' indicated by an asterisk. A simple study of these few examples may help in a search for others, although it must be said, that this is not so easy when the father's name is not given. 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.

    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. M19 - LLANDRINIO Introduction 1. The community of Llandrinio lies in the northeastern corner of Montgomeryshire, in a landscape that is defined by the confluence and flood plains of the rivers Efyrnwy and Severn. Settlement in this community is defined by the routes that lead eastwards, out of the county, with most settlement and considerable new development following the course of the B4392 through the large village of Arddleen, along the A483(T) and the B4393, through the community's other large village of Llandrinio. Away from these large villages, further settlement is found in the small village of Sarnau and in the rural settlements of Burgedin, Deuddwr, Penrhos and Rhos Common. Both Arddleen and Llandrinio have seen a significant amount of development in recent years, and each large village has a good range of community services and facilities. Many of the communty’s boundaries follow watercourses: the river Severn in the south-east; and the river Vyrnwy and its tributary the Sarn Wen brook in the north, and the Montgomery canal in the west. The key settlement of Four Crosses in the neighbouring community of Llandysilio abuts the community boundary at the Sarn Wen brook, and is separated by that brook from the continuation of settlement that leads through the rural settlement of Rhos Common into the large village of Llandrinio. 2. The community has a population of 1,137, an electorate of 1,115 (2005) and a council of 11 members. The community is warded: Arddleen with 652 electors and six councillors; Llandrinio with 463 and five.
