  • Community No
    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B32 - TRALLONG Introduction 1. The present community of Trallong is a community of two valleys, that of the full length of nant Bran as it flows southwards from its source on Mynydd Epynt, and that of a length of the main river valley, the Usk. For much of its length, the nant Bran valley is bounded by moorland at over 1,300 feet which rises to a number of high points including Gwrhyd and Crug-du in the Epynt. At its confluence with the Usk, however, a more hill and vale landscape is encountered. While the community is traversed east-west by the A40(T), the roads that hold this community together are unclassified county roads which bridge the river Usk at Aberbran and Pont-y- commin. The southern part of Trallong is defined as a 3rd tier settlement in the Brecon Beacons National Park Unitary Development Plan. The remainder of the population lives in scattered farms and dwellings and in the rural settlements of Llanfihangel Nant Bran and Trallong (its northern part), so classified in the Powys Unitary Development Plan, and the unclassified settlement of Aberbran within the Park. Much of this community - especially northwards - comprises uninhabited moorland. 2. The southern part of this community, to the south of the unclassified county road from Aberbran to Pentre'rfelin, lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park. 3. The community has a population of 364, an electorate of 279 (2005) and a council of 8 members. The community is warded: Llanfihangel Nant Bran with 96 electors and three councillors; Penpont with 63 and one, and Trallong with 120 and 4.

  • Family History and Genealogy
    THE PROLEGOMENON: FAMILY HISTORY AND GENEALOGY (Collected Family Charts are found on www.aias.us on my personal page accessible from the home page by clicking on “Myron Evans”). Appendices are being added gradually with details (see end of this file). In the direct line, my paternal great great grandfather, Edward Evans, is recorded in the 1851 Census as having been born in Llanigon in Powys in 1812. However this is a recorder’s error, the correct date from other records should be about 1802. My cousin Chris Davies kindly provided his date of death, 1874 in Cleirwy. Llanigon is a small village near Gelli Gandryll (Hay on Wye), founded perhaps in the sixth century by the British Celtic St. Eigon. It was a centre of Dissenter learning for leading figures such as Howell Harris and William Williams Pant y Celyn. The 1841 Census records a labourer called Edward Evans, aged 40, living at “Great Hendon” in Llowes, just across the river Wye from Llanigon, and just south of Cleirwy, with two sons, Richard aged 12 and William aged 11. Also recorded there is Esther Beavan, aged 60, possibly the mother of his deceased wife. In the 1851 Census for Cleirwy he is recorded as aged 39 (sic), but from other records this a recorder’s error, and the age should have been 49. At the time (1851) he was a widower and was recorded as a farm servant working on a 70 acre farm called “Cwm” owned by 35 year old James Morgan and situated near Cleirwy. The latter is recorded as employing one labourer, Edward Evans, and James Morgan originated in Brilley in Hereford, just across the border and five miles from Cleirwy, now in Powys.
