Amongst my Dad's papers I found a considerable amount of correspondence with various companies and technical booklets which started me searching (a while back now) for all sorts of things. At one point he worked for a company called Myers - later than 1853 - but I have a vague memory of coming across lists of patents. I'm not sure which years they covered or what they were for, nor do I know if they have anything to do with your Mr Myers. I'd need to retrace my steps a bit and find the papers again but maybe there'll be something amongst them that'll help...even if it's just a clue to finding records etc. Let me know if you want me to look.

JPM Myers died in 1869 and I suspect his company would have not existed after that, even if it existed at that time. There has been the suggestion of possible bankruptcy ... an as yet unexplored avenue

Not of any real help, but according to this (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=41USAAAAYAAJ&pg=RA4-PA100&dq=POWELL+MYERS+TENBY&lr=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_brr=1&as_pt=ALLTYPES) link he was appointed J.P. in 1836.
Finbar! |bowdown| "Not of any real help"!!!! Well, agreed it doesn't help with the patent but it does tell us something we had no idea about. This is an entirely new and unexpected aspect of the life of John Powell Matthew Myers.
Thankyou
