In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. • Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

  • A Welsh Classical Dictionary
    A WELSH CLASSICAL DICTIONARY DACHUN, saint of Bodmin. See s.n. Credan. He has been wrongly identified with an Irish saint Dagan in LBS II.281, 285. G.H.Doble seems to have been misled in the same way (The Saints of Cornwall, IV. 156). DAGAN or DANOG, abbot of Llancarfan. He appears as Danoc in one of the ‘Llancarfan Charters’ appended to the Life of St.Cadog (§62 in VSB p.130). Here he is a clerical witness with Sulien (presumably abbot) and king Morgan [ab Athrwys]. He appears as abbot of Llancarfan in five charters in the Book of Llandaf, where he is called Danoc abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 179c), and Dagan(us) abbas Carbani Uallis (BLD 158, 175, 186b, 195). In these five charters he is contemporary with bishop Berthwyn and Ithel ap Morgan, king of Glywysing. He succeeded Sulien as abbot and was succeeded by Paul. See Trans.Cym., 1948 pp.291-2, (but ignore the dates), and compare Wendy Davies, LlCh p.55 where Danog and Dagan are distinguished. Wendy Davies dates the BLD charters c.A.D.722 to 740 (ibid., pp.102 - 114). DALLDAF ail CUNIN COF. (Legendary). He is included in the tale of ‘Culhwch and Olwen’ as one of the warriors of Arthur's Court: Dalldaf eil Kimin Cof (WM 460, RM 106). In a triad (TYP no.73) he is called Dalldaf eil Cunyn Cof, one of the ‘Three Peers’ of Arthur's Court. In another triad (TYP no.41) we are told that Fferlas (Grey Fetlock), the horse of Dalldaf eil Cunin Cof, was one of the ‘Three Lovers' Horses’ (or perhaps ‘Beloved Horses’).

  • Flower Festival in a Tea Cup Saturday 29Th & Sunday 30Th September 10Am to 4Pm Celebration Service 3Pm Sunday Refreshments in Village Hall
    Friends of St Michael & All Angels Church Moccas Herefordshire HR2 9LH Welcome to our first Newsletter Autumn 2018 Flower Festival in a Tea Cup Saturday 29th & Sunday 30th September 10am to 4pm Celebration Service 3pm Sunday Refreshments in Village Hall Organ Restoration Project The organ at the west end of our church was designed and constructed by RW Walker & Sons Ltd in 1871, and installed by the Rector, Reverend Sir George Cornewall of Moccas Court. The red and green casing was hand painted by Kempe and considered to be quite unique. The historian, David Whitehead has described it as a “… wonderful composition, unparalleled anywhere else in Herefordshire”. At nearly 150 years old, it is not surprisingly in need of some refurbishment – both the organ and its casing, separately – and fund raising is well underway for this project. Quotes received are in the region of £60-70k for the organ and £20k for the casing; so far we have raised a total of £40k, with £5k from Church Care, £5k from the Prince of Wales Charitable Foundation, £10k and £15k respectively from two private donors, and £5k from a series of fundraising events.

N offering the present compilation of family data to those interested, I wish it to be clearly understood that I claim to no originality. It is intended—as can readily be seen by those who . read it—to be merely a gathering together of fragments of family history, which has cost me many hours of research, and which I hope may prove useful to any future member of the family who may feel curious to know who his forefathers were. I believe the pedigrees of the family I have compiled from various sources to be the most complete and accurate that ever have been published.
