TIMELINE

1060: Abercynrig, Wales — The Awbreys are one of the rare families that can show some level of documentation back to their probable origin with arrival of William the Conqueror in 1066. [1]More research needed as to arrival with William the Conquerer, but here is a starting point: https://www.geni.com/people/William-Awbrey-of-Pencoyd/6000000006403185138

‘Awbrey‘ is both a place and a thing (lorded lands)[2]I use the term ‘lorded land’ but this needs more research and definition. Awbrey was most certainly not a simple farm. and the name of the family that lorded over the land. Awbrey ownership is referred to in The Heraldic Visitation of Wales by Lewys Dwnn in 1846. This research document lists the first Awbrey in Wales as Sir Reginald Awbrey born about 1060. His son William born about 1125 is referred to as William of Abercynrig.
Successive Awbrey owners:
Thomas Awbrey born about 1190.
Thomas Awbrey born about 1220

Sir Thomas Awbrey born about 1315
