Hi Joe
Thank you very much, I was feeling too 'grotty' to even think about it, I
knew parts of it, but not all - thanks from across the sea !!!
All the congregation of Siloah Chapel must have been presented with this
photograph - he was not a very old man, I will have to remember where I read
about the tragedy........
Llanelli was a place where trains used to pass in front of the houses. In
Seaside there is a photograph in 'A Llanelli Chronicle' showing a train
passing the houses in Railway Place - my grandfather was born in Railway
Place in 1882. I was told that a man used to walk in front of the trains
warning people to keep out of the way.
I'll get the Siloah members photocopied information out, when I am next in
Llanelli library to see who the Minister was - just give me the name you
were looking for and I'll see if there is a mention of it.
speak soon - and again thanks for the translation
Pauline

Pauline, this is my best shot at the Welsh phrase above. I hope it will do
until
someone who knows what they're talking about can do the job. Jos.

We don't know if these folk are related.
