  [S32] Birth Certificate: Margaret Ann THEOPHILUS. [S66] THEOPHILUS family, Llanbadarn Fawr (Reliability: 2). John Theophilus was a butcher with premises at Aberystwyth where he lived, at Princess St, with his wife, Magdalene, and six children, Mary Jane, Sarah, John, David, Morgan, and Margaret in the early 1870s though he appears to have moved to Llanbadarn Fawr by 1890. Magdalene was the daughter of John Evans of Blaencarrog and was living near Myrthyr Tydfil when she married John Theophilus in 1860. According to the terms of her father's will she was to inherit one-third of his estate, amounting to £60 on her marriage but for some reason she did not receive her share of the inheritance in full from her sister after her father's death in 1863 and, despite sueing her sister she never got her full share. Her husband, John, was also involved in several court cases and in 1871 came close to a prison sentence. He was involved with one John Morgan who was accused of stealing four sheep and selling them to John Theophilus for £2.15s.10d (£2.79) as a result of which Morgan was transported for seven years. The Chairman in passing sentence on Morgan was very critical of John Theophilus and intimated that he had narrowly avoided being sent to prison. Magdalene Theophilus was the aunt of Mary Davies, a quiet 38 year old member of Soar Methodist Chapel in Borth who was suffocated in her bed with a pillow by her brother-in-law, Thomas Richards. He was hung in November 1894 in Carmarthen. Morgan Theophilus was a horse dealer who was mentioned in the Cambrian News in April 1894. It seems that his father, John, had sued Evan Jenkins, the landlord of the Black Lion at Llanbadarn, for £50 as compensation for a black eye he had received during a vestry meeting when he claimed he was assaulted; he was awarded £4 with costs. After the case John Theophilus wrote to 'Baner ac Amserau Cymru' alleging that the Black Lion supplied drinks to drunkards even early in the morning and on Sundays; apparently John Theophilus and his three sons had taken to standing around the Black Lion on Sundays to prove their point but Evan Jenkins sued for libel and was awarded £75 damages against 'Baner'.
