Could sks please assist with a look up of one Jane Rossiter daughter of James the carpenter and Elizabeth baptised 1830 - 1850. Details found on old piece of paper. Any assistance would be most greatfully received as a Jane, daughter of James and Betsy, was found on 1861 census baptised circa 1850.
Thanks in advance...Pat
Hi there Pat, I had a glance at 'Family Search' & IGI. I note that there are
quite a few 'Jane Rossiters during the period you query. You've probably done
it already - but I thought I'd mention it. Best of luck. Ray.

Hello List.
This request is a long shot but here goes, I am trying to run down some details on the lineage of a William Lewis, I wonder if sks can give me some help or advice regarding the best place to start. I am afraid the information is rather sparse.
(1) WILLIAM LEWIS, b. 3rd. Sept. 1791, Pontypool or possible Pontypridd.
Emigrated to NY, and became an inventor and manufacturer of photographic equipment.
Regards,
James Higgins.
Hello Angela,
i have a great uncle- Wilfred Baker from Blackwood, who was also in King's
Shropshire Light Infantry - but the 6th Battalion. He was killed five months
earlier in February 1916 in Ypres and is buried in the Artillery Wood
Cemetery.
The 7th Battalion moved from the Salient(Ypres) to the Somme on th 1st July.
The Web site below has quite a bit of detail which should be of interest
The following may well be helpful:

Subject: Shropshire Light Infantry, France, WW1
Hello everyone,
Would anyone on the list know when the 7th Bn., King's Shropshire Light
Infantry went to Somme France in WW1?
I found Edgar Rose died age 20 on Friday 14 July 1916, on the Commonwealth
War Graves Commission pages. There is a conflict of birth dates (year's
born) between Edgar and a younger brother. Could there be a mistake in the
age of Edgar? even though the information came from the army records for
this site?
A trip to London to go through records is not possible for me, even if I
knew how to search them (which I dont).
What else can I do?
Feeling a little stuck on this,
regards to all
Angela.

have been told there was 5 brothers and I have no idea where they lived in
Wales. As far as I know William and wife Leah with 2 children, and they are the only
4 to came to Australia that I know of. Other names on the wedding cert dated 1850 in

Hi Listers,
Apologies for my last message to you all with my request for HELP.
Having some new "finds" I got over-exited and posted my mail to the wrong
list. I'll take 100 lines, "I MUST TAKE MORE CARE"
Sorry for the mistake

Hello listers!
There was talk earlier about placing family time-lines next to historical
timelines as a means of understanding the society, work and life our
ancestors led. This was to me a wonderful idea, so I went out searching
on my own. Someone may have already posted this link. If so, please
forgive me posting it again, but it just seems to rich a site to miss.
This is not the beginning of the link, but for the years 1784 to 1794.
By clicking on the links running on the side of the page, other time
frames are available. Not only is this vital information (in my humble
opinion, as a relative newcomer) for Wales, but it also interrelates with
other emigration matters, influences the Welsh had in other lands and on
other thoughts of the period.
http://www.britannia.com/celtic/wales/timeline/tl12.html
Please take a moment and visit it. It may not be the end all answer to
many questions about the area and it's people, but it surely gave me a
much greater understanding of the transformation of the iron and coal
industries, which was my goal when I began looking.
Best wishes in your endeavors,

Another lister sent me the areas of the Forest of Dean, Tintern and Wye
Valley as iron producing regions. I may ask Mike Hall is the is anyone
who I could e-mail at the National Library of Wales who has a good idea
of what mines were producing at specific times. Kind of an opening and
closing time-line for mines. Thank you for your thoughtful response. It
is very much appreciated. I will also go on-line and search there.

HELP!
Hi There Good Listers,
Is there perhaps Some Kind Soul out there with access to the 1861 and
1871 censuses for Tetbury and Shipton Moyne that would be prepared to do a
look-up for me. I am trying to trace my g'g'g'father JOSEPH TURNER. On his
Marriage Certificate, dated 14/4/1873, he was aged 25 (b.1848) and his father
was given as JOHN TURNER, a Brick and Tile Manufacturer. The wedding took
place at Shipton Moyne Parish Church.
A very kind member of this list, found on the 1851 census of Tetbury a
JOSEPH TURNER, age 3. The entry was taken from a GFHS transcript and reads

My request is if SKS can find a similar entry on the 1861 and 1871 census
I will be very grateful for any information recieved.

I wonder if any kind soul would be able to do a look up for me

Hello Listers,
Polly from the MIDMARCH list has been kind in helping me reformat my
question. I didn't really think about people following (or not) threads
of conversation and then not knowing about follow up that has been done
after the fact. Many people have been very helpful with additional info
such as Julie Preston, Mike Hall, Dennis Cleaton, Dick Jones, Polly
Rubery and Gary Hodge, (who sent me about 60 plus CALLEN's from all over
the UK) and let's not leave out John Ball. He is just mindful of keeping
us from becoming "lost little lambs," and I thank him for that.
So here is the reformatted question:
CALLING for CALLEN's
I know that I am probably very much "barking up the wrong tree", but my
little CALLEN tribe just pops up into existence in Llangadwg, Llagynidr
and Beaufort sometime in the very early 1800's. Between the three
patriarchs: Isaac abt. 1777, John abt. 1775 and Charles CALLEN, b. 1809,
I have found nineteen births and baptisms, with almost as many deaths.
But nothing earlier to 1813 from ANY surrounding area so they seemingly
arrive from nowhere. Families that intermarried were FUDGE (from
Sedgley, Staffordshire) and WATKINS. I find CALLEN's in small groups all
over England, Wales, Ireland , Isle of Man, Scotland, etc. I am not
trying to *jump* to the origins of my ancestry, I am trying to step back
one generation and try and determine where they emigrated from. I am
trying to look first under my nose (Llangadwg and surrounding areas of
the Crickhowell District) but to no avail so I am trying to find the next
closest groupings of CALLEN's in hopes of determining migration patterns.
Have searched back in Parish Records for all surrounding areas for the
answer of their origins, including migration patterns, etc. and others
having tried to
help, I'm literally picking up every rock and turning it over. (Including
every "whetstone", a little side joke from my earlier post - I'm even
trying tradesmen's tools and professions and as they may certainly have
come over the boarder from England.)
So I was looking at other possibilities - may seem crazy, but thought
that
possibly they took their surname from the town of Callwen in the parish
of Glytawe, or possibly from a Welsh words such as "calon" (thank you D.
Cleaton) or a forename such as Callwyn, but not much use in trying the
latter due to the Welsh double LL sequencing and sounding nothing like
the final outcome of the name CALLEN (CALLIN).
Later documents show my gg grandfather Charles as a miner in the Beaufort
Iron Works, Isaac as a miner at both the Beaufort Iron works and Ebbw
Vale Pen-y-cae Iron Works, although I never find an occupation for the
elder John. So that leaves me pretty blank as to what profession they
may have had before traveling to the Crickhowell area of Brecon, Monmouth
and Hereford crossovers.
So I am currently looking for other CALLEN's such as in Swansea and
Oystermouth who might have travelled up the valleys to mine in Beaufort.
I am looking at CALLEN's in Pembroke and Narberth and Neath and
Liverpoole and even some in Glouchester, pretty much ALL OVER - yet not
too far away, trying to pick up a cold trail. I guess what I am doing now
is basically a one-name study for ANY CALLEN, CALLIN, CALEN, CALIN in the
surrounding shires and countries. If you run across one in your search,
I would certainly appreciate any forwarding of them to me.

Hello All:
It has been very quiet out there.....
Anyone going to Gwent Record Office that would do a quick look up in the
schedules would you please e-mail me off line. I would like to know if the
tithe schedules for Bedwellty parish survived and are held at Gwent Record
Office.
I would greatly appreciate you help.

Dear Listers
Knowing what wealth of knowledge is out there, I thought I'd see if anyone
could help me.
The details are few, but I'm looking for information on:-
William BAKER - thought to be living in Newport in about 1900 and an Iron
Foundry Owner.
Any information, or suggestions (practical ones only please!), I would be
glad to hear from you.

<< Subj: Update for UK School Photographs Website
Hi All
Further updates to the UK Schools Interests site (formally the School
Photographs Website). We now have approaching the 1500 photographs mark and
plenty still arriving daily. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to
date.
There are quite a few new bits and pieces on the site that may be on
interest. but could I ask that everyone take a look at one page in
particular. The *Unplaced Photographs* Page. Due to computer problems a while
back I lost a lot of email containing details of photographs that I had been
sent. If anyone recognises one of these pictures could you please contact me
so it can be placed in the correct section.
Work is also underway now contacting record offices to discuss putting a
comprehensive list of their holdings on the relevent page for each county (an
example of which can be seen via the Glamorgan pages). I would also like to
ask everyone who may know of any publications available for individual
schools, whether in book, microfiche or any other format to contact me with
the details so that these may be added to the site.
Once again, thank you all for your continued support.

Hi there listers,
My grandparents lived in the Nantyglo area. From my young days I can remember
that
it was said that they had, belive it or not, nineteen children, I can only
trace sixteen, many of them died quite young from the diseases which were
quite prevelent in those days. I drew a chart of the 'known births' and noted
that during the 1920's and 1930' there were significant 'gaps' in the
sequence of births. I suspect that in these 'gaps' there were 'still births'
Can anyone tell me when it became law that 'still' births had to be
registered? and does anyone have any statistical information on the causes
and numbers of infant mortallity during those years? Many thanks, Ray
Hapgood.

One big list? No thank you.
There would be so much time spent going through e-mails, when would we find the time to search? We all have other commitment's, family, home, work etc.
I found new friends on this list, we stay in contact off the list, I don't just send in question's, I see us all as almost family helping each other.
I have not been on the list long, and now i'm ready to buy my first census, and want to give something back to this list. I dont think I could do that if it means going through 100 e-mails a day.
Lets keep our local lists.
