Hi Everyone
It's been a while since I last updated everyone on the website and there has
also been a new development that I would like to share with you.
The website currently houses photographs and/or information for 1627 schools
and there are 292 articles posted on the forum also connected to individual
schools.
As I am almost certain that everyone of you reading this email attended at
least one school, if it was one in the UK could I ask you to have a quick
look to see if it is listed and if not please drop me a line with the
details.
If your school is mentioned than I would appreciate you contacting me with
anything that you can recall from your time there, even if it is only the
name of one teacher. Anything no matter how small can often help to jog
someone else's memory.
The new development that I have to share with you all is fantastic, well I
think so anyway :-)
I have been contacted by a company called Tempus Publishing
(www.tempus-publishing.com ), who produce books on a wide range of
historical subjects, to write books on the history of various individual
schools in the UK.
So if anyone has any ideas for a school that may be interested in taking
part or would like to write one of their own for that matter, then please
contact me.
I am also looking for anyone with a past connection to Llandaff Cathedral
School to contact me asap.
Kind Regards
Kim

Hi there all
Does anyone have any information on Agnes Maud POWELL who was born 17
August 1892 in Barry
Her Parents were William George POWELL and Mary Jane (formerly JONES).
They were married in Pembroke Dock 19 April 1892 then must have moved
very soon after to Barry where Agnes was born. They had 2 other
daughters born in Barry
Martha W A POWELL 1895
Dora E M POWELL 1896
The family then moved to Penarth where another daughter Lily M A
POWELL was born in 1900
In the 1901 census they are living at 29 West Terrace, Penarth.
William George POWELL is shown in the electoral register at this
address until about 1922 and Agnes POWELL is still there until 1927.
Does any of this ring any bells out there?
Best wishes

I have your Marriages 1569-1837 CD.
Have found known marriage of Nathaniel EVANS and Elinor MORGAN/S 1815 M/Tydfil.
The notes refer to CBW. Do you have access to the additional information that this covers?
I believe all their children were christened at Zoar Chapel but I have not been able to find these records. Can you help on either of these requests?

Dear Listers,
This week's 'Retrospective Images of Wales', just uploaded onto my
website, features:
1. A variety of farmhouses, big and small, in the counties of
Breconshire and Monmouthshire.
This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in December 1998
(eight photos).
2. The 'Museum of Welsh Life' at St Fagans near Cardiff, Glamorgan.
This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in March 1998 (seven
photos).
By coincidence, in the last few days Venita Roylance from Utah has also
uploaded a feature on this popular museum onto her website. You'll find
a link to her museum webpages at the bottom of my own feature.
To view my Retrospective webpages, go to
http://home.clara.net/wfha/walespic/retro/retro.htm
Enjoy!!
Best wishes,

Judy,
Have you thought about using the Genes Connected website, I have found a
number of distant relations using this site.
It's at <A HREF="http://www.genesconnected.co.uk">http://www.genesconnected.co.uk</A>. You post a copy of your family tree
and wait for people to contact regarding names they find when searching the
website.
In fact I have just searched on that site and have found a John Bernard
Martin born 1900 in Sunderland. I have sent a copy of your posting to a Mary
Wilshire asking her to contact you.

Hi everyone,
Youi should all look at this site at least once in your research. It is
full of interest. Whatever you are researching in Glam or many other places it
is a great site full of information. My particular interest is the sea but
there are many other subjects such as the railway and many more too numerous to
mention.
<A HREF="http://www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/Site.html">http://www.angelfire.com/de/BobSanders/Site.html</A>

Selwyn alerted me to a new Search engine and I have been having a play with

If Benjamin Williams was not a captain, mate or engineer and does not
appear either on Reg Davies' Welsh Mariners site or my Maritime site which
you can get to from my homepage at
http://www.angelfire.com/ga/BobSanders
then I would suggest you try the Southampton Archives. They hold copies of
the registration documents for all merchant seamen for the period from
about 1900 - 1940 so if he was at sea in that period they should have his
record card. They will search for all occurrences of the name for a fee of
£5 and will send you copies of the records which give date & place of
birth, next of kin, details of joining the merchant navy and various other
details sometimes including a photgraph of the seaman.
Hope this helps.

Hello Everyone!
I am helping an older relative (by marriage) find her family. We have
discovered that her uncle Fred MARTIN died in 1976 in Merthyr Tydfil
Registration District. Fred was born 1897 in Richmond Yorkshire and moved
to Wales around the time of marriage (we think). We don't know the wife's
name. Hoping there are MARTIN relatives still living in the Merthyr Tydfil
area. When the death cert arrives I will post the exact place of death and
any relative who may be an informant.
Fred's brother, John Bernard Martin born 1900 Sunderland immigrated to
Australia in 1920s, married and had one daughter, Jacqueline.
Jacqui does not know of any other living relatives in the UK and would like
to make contact with any descendents of Fred.
A sister of Fred and John was Beatrice Martin who did not marry and died in
Leeds area 1978. There was another sister, Mary Frances Martin who married
a MOORE and probably remained in Leeds area too.
With fingers crossed!!
Best wishes, Judy Jones.

Hello Everyone,
Today I went to the library and was looking for birth records on my DAVID family, turning up a big fat "0" in the England and Wales, Civil Registration Index; 1837-1983 on Ancestry.
After being very frustrated and having no idea how I did this, I turned up something that I'm not quite sure of...I have been trying to find a marriage record between Leyshon David & Mary Lewis c. 1838. I know that Leyshon David & Mary Lewis had a daughter, one of many children, named Mary David
Michaelston-Super-Avon, Glamorgan, Wales
Baptism
David, Mary
Surname: David
Child's Fornames: Mary
Father's Fornames: Leyson
Occupation: Lab
Mother's For/Surname: Mary
28 Jan 1838
Address: Pant Du
What I found was a DAVID, Leyaton, whose marriage was registered in the Dec. Quarter 1837, District: Neath, Vol.: 26, Page 535, however, there is no Mary LEWIS listed on that page. In 1840 there is a Leyshen DAVID, marriage registered in June 1840 Neath, Vol. 26, Page 727, and there is a Mary Lewis on the same page.
At the moment I'm leaning toward sending for the 1837 certificate hoping that Leyshon David is just spelled incorrectly, but was wondering if there is any chance that they were married c 1836-1838, and the marriage just wasn't registered until 1840.
Any help or ideas would certainly be appreciated.
Thanks so much,
Mary

I'm trying to find the birth place of Edwin Wood born 1835.
He was master of the "Belle Flower" from 1866 to 1874. The Board of Trade's Black Books have the following entry for him : Arrived at Port Louis, Mauritius on 26 Jan 1874. The chief officer summoned the Master before Magistrates for cruelty, he was fined £25. Again summoned for cruelty to his son and sent to prison for 1 month. On 21 April 1874 he was declared a lunatic and the Commissioners of Lemaeq(?) sent him to an aslyum, (BT/167/34/p876).
His service record in BT122/21 gives birth place as Aberayron, Glamorgan. As many of you will know Aberayron (today Aberaeron) was a well know seafaring town in Cardiganshire. Perhaps some scribe ment to write Cardiganshire but wrote Glamorgan. But perhaps he was born at a place which sounds like Aberayron such as Aberavon in Glamorgan.
Whilst there are no other Wood mariners at Aberayron there was a second mate called Alfred Wood born at Aberavon in 1838 who drowned at Sydney on 8 June 1873.

Hello,
I'm new to the list, which was recommended to me as a possible source of
information on the evacuees who were killed in the Cwmparc bombing in 1941.
My interest stems from the fact that my brother and I were also Rhondda
evacuees, having been sent to Ystrad Rhondda from Walton-on-the-Naze in May
1941. We had previously been evacuted from Edmonton, London, to Walton on
September 2, 1939. Because a good many Edmonton evacuees ended up in the
Rhondda Valley, I was curious as to whether those killed in Cwmparc were also
from Edmonton.
For the record, we were billeted with the Evans family on Victoria Road in
Ystrad, and attended Bodringallt School. We returned to London (with Welsh
accents!) in 1943. I have remained in touch with my Welsh "family" over the
years.
Any information would be appreciated.

I can't resist pointing out to Uk listers that Genuki has a full two page
coverage in the current issue (55) of the magazine 'Internet Made Easy'.
The intro starts out;
"Find thousands of genealogy resources ---This brilliant site is a
must-click for any genealogist........."
I can't argue with that now can I ?? :-)
Quite amusing to see that the example search shown in the article has 'Dyfed
Family History Society Alumni Oxoniensis' sitting at the top of the search
results for the search expression 'birth records crawley' !
Which gives me the lead-in to remind all listers that the main Genuki search
engine
reached via the Contents button at the top of each Genuki page searches a
database,which apart from Genuki's own pages, also includes the PRO, SoG and
FFHS web sites --- also all the
Family History Society and County Surname Interest List sites linked from
Genuki.
