My mother has given me a book "Yesterdays Newport"
which contains many photos of local people from 1850
onwards. They included:-
Thomas Philips Mayor - 1839 the time of the chartist
riots.
Viscount Tredegar - Godfrey Charles Morgan
William Sheppard - market stall holder.
Newport town Council 1872.
Thomas Paryy coal merchant of Pill.
Mr Dan Lavendar in 1850 laying tram lines.
John Basham - Boxer from about 1900
Alan Inderwick Sinclair - Chief Constable 1875-1912
Stephen Willaim Brooks - Police Superintendent 1909.
Robert Markey of Newbridge in Mones in 1914
Anyone interested?
