Hi Trevor
I have no knowledge of anyone being called Glanmor, Glanville, Glan,
etc.....but not that one. There are people by this name though.....
Glanmor is known as 'by the sea' Being born and bred in Burry Port it is a
sea-side town and this is what we believe it is, translations can always say
something else, but being local to the seaside this is what we know it to
be.....
Glanmor Terrace is in the 'Bacce' area of Burry Port, there used to be a
public house here years ago of this name......
Talking of by the sea - we went to Llanelli beach this morning because it is
high tide and the wind is blowing up a gale.......the waves were blowing all
over the beach walls - it was a beautiful site.......
Think it difficult for supporters of Wales to travel to Ireland this
week-end by ferry for their first international - the weather is too bad
for them to travel.......all flights already fully booked.
speak soon Pauline

Hi Ken and other Listers,
Does anyone know the origins of the
forename "Glanmor" ? My father's cousin, Ernie Davies, lived and worked
in
the butchers in Ferryside and that was called "Glanmor
Shop". My newly
discovered third cousin had a grandfather ... must have been Ernie's
younger brother ....whose middle name was Glanmor. I guess the "-mor"
refers
to the sea, but was there someone famous in Carmarthenshire whose
name was
Glanmor ?
Trevor, in the spirit of enquiry.
P.S. Spent most of the day at the PRO in Kew trying to find traces of my
German g.father who was interned in WW1. Lots of names to sift through,
but
haven't traced his yet. I think it's a "month of Sundays
job" again !
