David Leigh Daniel was a weaver who lived in a cottage next to Goppa chapel in Pontarddulais and wrote poetry, and his happy-go-lucky disposition had not at first enamoured him to her parents. Two police officers went with a carriage to Pontarddulais next day to arrest Daniel Lewis, and, ever the prankster, he insisted that by law the carriage had to be brought to his door by Goppa chapel, so it was taken down the narrow lane with great difficulty. Before the Pontarddulais incident, a barrister and an expert in turnpike law had been sent to Wales, and they had collected sufficient evidence during August to persuade the government that a full public enquiry was necessary. www.leigh.org /genealogy/biographies/davidleigh/davidleigh.htm   (7016 words)

Elizabeth Leigh  (chr 1803 - 1888) Descent Chart Only the first of the children born there was christened in church, and the others were probably christened at Goppa Calvinistic Methodist chapel in Pontarddulais, where JOHN was listed as one of the four deacons in 1857 in the book written in Welsh to celebrate its bicentenary in 1973. In 1891 JOHN was living not far away as a steam engine maker, but DAVID had moved to Pontarddulais, where he was an engineer in the tinworks, and he had 6 children, all of whom were Welsh-speaking according to the census of that year. Their daughter ANNE married JOSHUA WILLIAMS, a grocer of Pontarddulais, but by 1901 she was running the shop as a widow, ‘selling a wide variety of goods from print aprons to oil, all of the best quality’. www.leigh.org /familytrees/revedmundleigh/davidleighfamilytree/elizabethleighfamilytree/elizabethviileighfamilytree.htm   (3603 words)
