I'm trying to find any information regarding the Emanuel line from Trevethin, Pontypool, Monmouthshire area of South Wales. The first Emanuel to appear in my family tree was my ggg-grandmother Ann (born 1833) who married Isaac Brain (born 1829). I have since traced her possible family back another three generations but details are sketchy. Ann's parents were James Emanuel and Mary Thomas, her paternal grandparents seem to be a George Ray and Joan Emanuel (born 1766) - James taking mother's surname as was illigitimate. Joan's parents were Whittington Emanuel Snr and Mary Cully (married 1752).
