Old Talgarthians

Sons & Daughters of Talgarth

 

 

This page is dedicated to any Old Talgarthians who have left the Talgarth area and set out to make their way elsewhere: to those who have moved to other areas in Britain or even further afield. Over generations, many people who were born or grew up in the area have moved away due to work, family, or other reasons and have spread to all parts of the UK, and indeed the World. Many Agricultural workers emigrated and took up offers of assisted passage schemes to countries including Canada and the USA in the 17th and 18th centuries; later on, others have simply seen Australia as a place for a new home and a new life.

With the emergence of the Internet, families in any country can set out, using online census records, to plot their family trees. In this area we have the Powys Family History Society and the Brecknock Group as good reference points to start to research.

If any Sons and Daughters of Talgarth, or even their Descendants, would like to email us with an update of where they are now living and a few memories or stories of past generations, we would be very grateful and will periodically update any we receive on to this page, and plot on the World map above, where their new homes are.
