daughter Mary. [local information: Mary M (dau) lived in cottage then
at Bridgend (now called Gwylfan): this is SW of bridge over

He is described on documents as a sawyer (also
agricultural labourer then road labourer), and Mary as agricultural
labourer.
Wern Chapel (Welsh Indepenedent; founded as a branch of
Penrhiwgaled, near Synod Inn), Gilfachrheda, was built in 1851 and the

Thomas (bp 27 Sep 1812 LNTH f: John David m: Elizabeth) died of fever 23 Nov 1841,
buried 26 Nov 1841 aged 29 at LFY, address Talsarn [2 km east of Ystrad
Aeron], Trefilan. Occupation (carpenter: crossed-out) labourer. John Davies (signed X)
was present at the death[father presumably].
Mary Davies lived in Mydroilyn (Gilfachisa, near the woolen factory, NW of centre) at censuses
1851-1891. She died there 8 Nov 1897. She described herself as pauper (labourer's widow); hosier;
baker. Her mother, Mary Michael, died at Scyborwen, nearby, in 1847 and MM's death was witnessed
by Mary Davies - most probably her daughter.
Mary Davies's unmarried daughters Mary and Elisa were hosier and dressmaker.
Her unmarried daughter Mary had a son (father John James of Newquay(?)) Evan Davies/James
(b 1867) who lived with her at Gilfach-isa and became a teacher then baker.
Mary Davies's son, John Davies, was at school aged 13 and by age 23 was a
mariner. Crew lists give at least 4 different "John Davies" born 1838-9 at New
Quay (Llanarth born seaman were usually described as born New Quay). One of
them is described as carpenter and seaman - maybe carpentry skills came from
John Davies's grandfather. It does seem, however, that this John Davies remained
a seaman and did not become an officer - unlike his cousins David Michael and
John Michael.
The other John Davies was born to the family [f: John Davies, m:
Elizabeth] at Llwynrheol farm [between Mydroilyn and Oakford] and became a
master mariner and shipowner: he lived at Henfynyw and then built Manor House
in Aberaeron in 1885. He married Mary Enoch who died in 1873 after their
children Magdalen, John(d young), John Rees(b 1869) were born. He then married
Margaret Jones and had further childen Mary Jane, James Thomas(b 1877), Osman,
Elizabeth and Madeline. John Davies became owner of a vessel [barque Ella] and
a respected master mariner, he died 6 Nov 1901.
Both of John Davies's sons John Rees Davies and James Thomas Davies
went to sea: the former
in 1883 aged 14 and was lost at sea on 8 Oct 1884; the latter made a first
voyage in 1891 aged 14 on the Ella, owned by his father, became a master
mariner and died, aged 30, of diphtheria (also reported as scarlet fever)
while serving as mate on board the London-owned steamship River Plate
returning from Buenos Aires on 24 July 1909.
