I think this message may have vanished into the void so am resending.
Apologies if you've already seen it.
I came across this piece of information when I accessed the web site for
Farms of Calverton in the 19th and early 20th Century. (I don't know the web
site address as I went in via Google) :-
Upper Weald Great Farm
John Richards from Cynholdy, Carmarthenshire [perhaps that's Cynghordy?] took
over from 1880 until 1908, then they moved to Stacy Hill Farm, Wolverton.

Hi....could anyone tell me if you have come across this rather unusual and
different surname in your research and gleanings? My grandmother was a
Woozley and my cousin in Wales and I have traced the line back to
Carmarthen-St. Peters in 1742. However, there are a few gaps along the way
which we are working diligently to fill in. Although the surname is a bit
unusual as far as Welsh surnames go, it has also undergone various spellings
throughout the years which makes for some interesting research.
We are having a difficult time finding any records to mention details and
whereabouts of the family during various times throughout the familys stay
in Carmarthen so if anyone has seen reference to the Woozley surname
throughout their research, I would be most grateful in hearing from you.
Many thanks for your time and attention to this posting,
Sincerely,
Diane M. Hungate

I am trying to gather information about the history of the Glanyrafon Woollen Mill, Drefach Felindre, Llangeler. I'm particularly interested in the Rees family who owned the mill, during the latter half of the nineteenth century. I'd be pleased to hear from anyone who might be able to help.
Many thanks,
Sue Williams

There are many variations to most common names, and Woolsley/Wooslley, etc.
is the most probable derivation of your unusual surname. Good luck --- Faith

There was a debate on these pages a week or so back about birth registration
in the GRO indexes.
Whilst in the registry office of Llanelly yesterday I enquired with the
registrar what was the correct way the births were entered - by birth or
registration date.....
the answer was entry recorded by 'Registation Date'
not by birth date (which is what I thought).....therefore it is advisable to
check for quite some time after the birthdate that you have.......it is
supposed to be registered within 6 weeks, but I suppose somepeople did go
over this time period.......
hope this helps

Hi Pat
Thanks very much - this is a great help.....as you know I do not have this
CD.....(yet)
I have found an Elizabeth Rees who married Zachariah Lewis in Llanelly
1876 (I have purchased marriage cert and have 1881 census) I found a birth
for Elizabeth Rees in 1857 Paint House, father Thomas Rees
coalminer.......in the 1881 census Thomas and Elizabeth are living in
Embankment Road, private house, late office.......how they got these
addresses beats me.
I did want a birth of an Elizabeth Rees to a Thomas Rees and Elizabeth
(probably Bowen) - there is not one to an Elizabeth Bowen but to an
Elizabeth Davies - information was passed down and seems to be incorrect,
they wanted her father to be Henry Rees but it is the correct
marriage and this states Thomas Rees, witness Henry Rees..
I am not researching for this person, it is for a member for whom I am going
to the registry office for to find the certificates for him....
After my rambling on - it looks like the Isaac Rees and Morgan Rees could
well be belonging to Elizabeth Rees - what do you think - I have not found
Thomas Rees the father in 1881 - according to her birth he was a coalminer -
in her marriage he worked in the copperworks.....
Just checked the marriage cert again - it gives Elizabeth's abode as
'Trostre Road Llanelly'.......this was in 1876 - looks like this is the
correct place Pat..
thanks again - Sarah is feeling a bit better today - hope you are too....

I have purchased a birth certificate for a member and the abode is Paint

in 1857.......

This is just to say that if anyone is wondering why the list is slow, I am

Hi everyone,
Came across this on a web site - Farms of Calverton in the 19th and early
20th century (don't know the web address - it came up on a search I was doing
on Google.com) and just in case one of you has been searching for the man in
question thought I'd pass it on:-
Upper Weald Great Farm
John Richards from Cynholdy (sic - ?Cynghordy), Carmarthenshire took over
from 1880 until 1908, then they moved to Stacey Hill Farm, Wolverton.
Yvonne.
Hi, Pauline
You asked for a resend for any messages prior to 0830 this morning. the
message below, to the list, not just to you, went off about 7 a.m. So, just
in case, here it is again. (also sent to FHS.)
Can some knowledgeable member please help me to make contact with the
French equivalent of the CRO? I am searching for a gt uncle, who lived in
Paris through most of the 1850's, writing books which were well received. He
contracted consumption, and returned to his family in England in 1859 where
he died. A notice of his death, in the Telegraph, who employed him, gave his
address and the fact that he left a widow and two children aged 5 and 2. The
exact date of birth of the younger, a son named Alfred, is known, as he made
a career in the Foreign Office. The records of the father's death, in Grove
End Rd, London NW8, have apparently been destroyed, though he is buried in
Kensal Green cemetery. The Consular records in Paris, where other members of
the family registered marriages, and children are recorded, have been
searched, and make no reference to him. I assume that his marriage and
children were registered witb the French Authorities. I wrote to the Centre
francais sur la Population et Developpement, to whom I had been directed,
with no response after some six weeks.The other suggestion was that I should
contact the Mairie, but no address! Can some kind soul help me to get in
touch with the right organisation, ideally with an e-mail address, but
snail-mail if not. Someone must have had the experience: I suspect that
there is a period of siesta in August! Hopefully, Oliver,
Barrie,
Your contribution is made without comment or explanation and we are left to
speculate as to its purpose. However, to give the selected quotations some
semblance of precision it would have been correct to make the following
observations.
This so-called 'Act of Union 1536' was given this title only 100 years ago,
that is, more than three and a half centuries after its enactment. Both
this act and that of 1543 were given, for sentimental and nationalistic
reasons, the label of 'Acts of Union' in 1901. In fact, they were nothing
of the sort. To justify such a name the two countries of England and Wales
would have had to have relative equality and autonomy. As the preamble to
the first act states, this was not the case and Wales was not a separate
state and '.hath ever been.under the imperial crown of this realm.'
It should have been pointed out, also, that the act was passed after those
in power, locally, in Wales had requested it. Henry states in the Act that
he wants Welsh people to be treated equally with those of England.
This partial and selective quotation of the act fails to explain the
contradictory nature of the language clause and no comment is made to
explain that it had little or no effect on the use of the language. Much
more was involved in the two acts and a three paragraph, incomplete
quotation does no justice to the complex arguments that revolve around this
matter.
Today, there are many amongst us Welsh who wallow in self-pity in the
xenophobic belief that England and its rulers deliberately killed the Welsh
nation and its language. If they seek their evidence in the so-called 'Acts
of Union', they will look in vain.

In response to your request some time ago for news.
Wilkes-Barre Record, Tuesday, January 11, 1910
DEATH OF PARSONS DRUGGIST
Harry H. James, for twenty years a druggist at Parsons and one of the best known residents of that town, died last evening at 8:30 o'clock of liver trouble. He served on the borough council and on the school board. He married about a year ago and is survived by his widow and also by his mother of Brigend, Wales and a brother David H. of Pittsburg. His father, now deceased, was many years ago a Welsh preacher
______________________________
Wilkes-Barre Record, Saturday October 21, 1905
PARSONS
William Rees met death at Mineral Spring Colliery on Tuesday evening. He came to this country from Merthyr Tydril last January. He leaves his widow and one child. He was a member of Calvinistic Methodist Church. Mrs. Rees is expected to return to Wales.
(Spelled Reese in the funeral announcement) _______________________
Note: In those days Parsons was a borough; today it is a section of the city of Wilkes-Barre, PA.
I hope this may be of some value to a lister.
