'church steeple.' Reviewing a map of Wales, I found a 'Llanbrynmair' that looks to be on the way to Aberystwyth from Shrewsbury, perhaps on the rail line, and I wondered what the name means. Can anyone tell me if there are any members of the Thomas Family, descendants of Thomas, the bodyguard of The Duke of Wellington, still residing there, if it is my mother's family's well-spring? And in what county is Llanbrynmair located? Also, how would I get information about the Ward Shipping Lines operating out of Great Britain before 1831? Your assistance on this personal adventure/quest is greatly appreciated, M. Richard Myers III
