Ashton: Geseilfa

Ashton: Geseilfa

geseilfa.gifThis is the place where the Ashton dynasty at Trefeglwys, actually its more Llawr-yr-glyn, started from!

I must have been past this place hundreds of times, but I have no recollection of what the place looks like. I will go and have a look later. I'm wondering if the place has any Ashton connection today?

From a wider family point of view, it is a stone's throw from the Williams lineage. The Williamses come from Pleasant View, which is in the area marked 'Waen' on the map. I am very familiar with the names of the farms in that area, as my grandfather used to talk about them a lot. I just wish I could remember the stories attached to them ....
