MARRIAGE BONDS AND ALLEGATIONS
At the National Library there are documents called bonds and affidavits relating to about 90,000 marriages which took place in Wales between 1616 and 1837. There is an index to them.
Marriage by licence
Better-off people could avoid publicity and delay by marrying by licence. If you had a licence from the Church authorities there was no need to have the banns called. In Wales a licence would usually be issued in the bishop's name, but it was also possible to obtain a licence from the archbishop of Canterbury (`common licence').A licence was also needed for the marriage of a minor(i,e under 21years old) - see Elizabeth Jones below..
Marriage bonds
Until 1823, the bridegroom and a friend would also enter into a bond, a document obliging them to pay a sum of money. These bonds are known as marriage bonds. If an impediment to the marriage should come to light, or if the conditions of the licence should be breached, then the bridegroom and his friend would forfeit the considerable sum of money noted in the bond. Under normal circum-stances the sum would not be paid

In he National Library of Wales Archives the marriage of Thomas Hughes and his sister Mary Hughes are recorded both by Special Licence..Note that Thomas Hughes is marrying a minor i.e Elizabeth Jones is aged under 21. As their first child Thomas is born in Nov 1826,Elizabeth must already be five months pregnant.when she marries in July 1826 ! Also listed is the marriage bond between Mary Hughes(Thomas Hughes’s sister) and William Davies (of Upper Brithdir Farm,Berriew)-see under Davies Family.

The 1841 and 1851 Census record Elizabeth Hughes(Jones)as being born c.1806 Llanfair and the only entry in the Llanfair Baptism 1802-10 records,which matches this date is the entry as follows-- Feb 21 1806 Elizabeth daughter of William Jones of Gelligason and Elizabeth his wife.Note that a Wm Jones has also signed as a witness to her marriage,presumeably her father. See photos above of the beautiful Elizabethan Gelligason farmhouse,which lies only 1 mile east of Llanfair see map below. Gelli means small wood.

The IGI Index at Salt Lake City,Utah gives full details of six children’s birth’s and christenings as follows--Thomas born 29 Nov 1826, John born 24th Feb 1829, William born 19th May 1831, Morris born 2 Sept 1833(died Jan 11 1835),Elizabeth born 23 Oct 1835, Ann born 21 Mar 1838, Jane born 11 Jan 1841, all christened at the Ebenezer Independent Chapel in Llanfair.s. Note that the IGI records for the Ebenezer Chapel only run from 1818-1842( a new chapel was built in 1844-see below) so this probably explains why the youngest son Morris Stephen Hughes is not listed,However see his birth certificate dated 25 Mar 1846 and neither is the youngest daughter listed, Sarah born in 1849..

THE EBENEZER WELSH INDEPENDENT CHAPEL, LLANFAIR CAEREINION. The present Chapel is situated on the south side of High street,but the original goes back to 1813,but was very soon too small and a larger one was built in 1844 on land donated by Mr Griffith Evans,a Llanfair glover.It became known as Capel Top Llan or Upper chapel and was situated further along the High street. The 1851 Religious Census Return stated that the avg attendance was “Morning 100+49 scholars, Afternoon 130+7 scholars and Evening 180.”The Return was signed by John Evans, Elder,Heniarth,Llanfair. This building is now decommissioned and in use as a garage. A new Ebenezer Chapel was built in 1938 on the site of the old Eagles Inn and stll flourishes. In the 1841 Census John Evans age 40 is farming at Heniarth a farm just a 1/2 mile south east of Thomas Hughes at Llanloddian Uchaf.

The unpopular system of the Government’s collection of religious offerings in the form of Tithes from each farmer and smallholder was ended by The Tithe Commutation Act 1836 ,which replaced tithes with a rent charge decided by a tithe commission.These 1842 Tithe Maps,where drawn up to aid the Tithe Comission with their calculations. Oriiginal Scale 1” = 6 chains.(132 yards).

Welsh costume
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The national dress was based on the clothes worn by Welsh country women in the early nineteenth century. They wore a striped petticoat, usually made of flannel, with a flannel open fronted bedgown over the top. They also wore an apron, a shawl and either a kerchief or a cap.
The tall black hats usually associated with the Welsh Lady costume did not appear until the late 1840s.
Between 1840 and 1870, shawls became very popular. They are not traditionally Welsh, and were worn in many places, although the shawl, usually with a checked or paisley pattern, is an accepted part of traditional costume. Shawls were also used by Welsh women to carry their babies, and this method of nursing a baby is still referred to as "Welsh fashion".
Nowadays a range of Welsh tartans have been produced which are made into shawls for ladies and cilts (welsh kilts) for men, amongst other things. The St David's Tartan or brithwe Dewi Sant is the national tartan, suitable for wear by anyone Welsh, but individual family tartans are also produced, despite there being little evidence that the Welsh (or the Scots, for that matter) traditionally used tartan to identify clans.

The 2 1/2 inch to 1 mile O.S. map shows clearly where Llanloddian Isa farm is situated only 2 miles north of Llanfair Caereinion.In the 1841 Census the farm is listed in the township of Llanlodian Uchaf while Llanlodian Hall, Llanloddian Ganol & Garth-lwyd etc,are listed in the township of Llanoddian Isaf,which is confusing.

ThisTomb gives valuable information about Thomas and Elizabeth Hughes’s date of birth and age at death and also the demise of two of their children Maurice and William. Maurice (Morris) must be an important family name ,because a later son is named Morris Hughes to replace the deceased Morris Hughes.The Tombs lie behind the main tower of St Mary’s Church ,Llanfair Caereinion.
