West Wales Golden Wedding
Mr and Mrs James Maddocks, Bailey Glas, Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire, have just celebrated
their golden wedding with hearty congratulations from a large number of well wishers.
Married in Llanarthney church on November 29th 1869, by the late Canon Harris, they have
always been ardent Churchpeople and Conservatives. Mr Maddocks has been vicar's
warden for over twenty years, but lately that office has been held by his son. A well
known and successful agriculturist, Mr Maddocks is the eldest son of the late Mr Thomas
Maddocks, Eisteddfa Llannon, near Llanelly, but has resided in the Llanarthney district
for the last 60 years. His services as judge at ploughing matches have been in great
demand. Mrs Maddocks, who is the youngest daughter of the late Mr and Mrs John Griffiths,
Llwyndu, Llanarthney, has lived in the parish of Llanarthney all her life. Mr and Mrs
Maddocks have six surviving children - Mrs John Gibbon, Llanstephan; Mrs B T Stephens,
Carmarthen; Mr Johnnie Maddocks, Closglas; Mrs D. R Michael, Pontardulais; and Mr Jim E
Maddocks and Miss Ray P Maddocks who are at hme with their parents......
