Ah, thank you

Neath Antiquarian Society told me there were some records pertaining to Rev John Portrey in Wiltshire, but without being able to look at them I was not sure what sort of date they had, or why they had ended up there. He is given as Rector of Ystradgynlais 1739-1742. So him being curate for Saint Briavels before that fits into the years available.

William Gough married Catherine, John's brother, in 1717 so it could be that John essentially followed her up, rather than was already in Gloucestershire. But is definitely good to see a date for him somewhere there!

Best Regards
