Updates – Glascoed People & Places

21st October 2024.

A few days without an update! I must be slacking! I spent quite a while researching and re-vamping a page on a house that has some links to Glascoed via my Great-Great-Great Grandmother Maria Arnold (nee Jones) of Maesmawr Farm, Glascoed. The house in question is Llangwendwr farm, Llanishen (although it is actually now postally in Kingcoed). I think it’s a good read – especially an article featuring a nonagenarian who wanted to fly and go to watch a “talkie”!

I re-constructed the Chilton family page and added a page on William Chilton. I hope that you enjoy his story. I couldn’t resist finding out more so the new page is an improvement on the old one, with his story after leaving Glascoed being now completed.

14th October 2024.

I was visiting family today, so didn’t have time for much work on the site. I re-constructed the Bellamy family page and added an interesting biography page for Edward Bellamy, a distinguished Prison Officer who married a Glascoed girl (Rachel Kate Williams of Rose Cottage).

13th October 2024.

Today I worked on the Arthur family – creating the Arthur family page and also pages for the two Mary Arthurs who came to live at Glascoed. Mary Arthur (born 1764) who married Hercules Jenkins and came to live at Upper Trostra. Mary Arthur (born 1804) who married John Morgan and came to live at Hill Farm.

Today I started adding some People pages. So we have a biography for Ann Adams (and the Adams family page). Also the Arnold family page, with bios for Richard Arnold, 1832 and his daughter Mary Ann Arnold.

10th October 2024.

Over the past couple of days I’ve worked on the Upper Wernhir page. I came across some interesting information on the house and its residents – including a pair of “kissing cousins!”

8th October 2024.

One more House page today: Upper House, Glascoed. I also added an extra dozen or so records to the Glascoed School Register page.

7th October 2024.

Today, the Sunny Bank Farm, the Trychywmad/ Three Stiles and Ty Coch House pages were revised and added to the site. I always learn new things when I re-visit the pages for editing. I’m usually curious (as with this case) to find out just a little bit more about the families and properties before I hit the “Publish” button!
