Does anyone know which newspaper was in circulation in the 1930's in the Marshfield area?
I know that my GG Grandfather's obituary was in it, my Grandmother's cousin has a copy of it but refuses to share it so I am trying to get a copy of it the hard way!
Look forward to any replies - thank you.
best regards

I have noticed a lot of questions regarding certificates, some time ago i saw
this on a list and have used it with a great deal of success, they are
reasonable, ( at least i think so), fast and accurate.
They take credit cards, i use master card. there is also the option of the
length of each search and the price for each one.
If there is doubt they will contact you before they go ahead.
Besides certificates they do some cencus,wills, and some other i can't
remember at this time
I highly recomend them. Sylvia

Would you know if these newspapers (or if anyone knows what newspapers) were
in existence in the late 1800's, I have a ggfather, Hugh Gibson (dental
surgeon), who died Apr 4, 1896 at #1 Baneswell Road and would sure
appreciate an obit.
Also, there was an inquest held on April 7, 1896. Any information
appreciated.
Thanks, Bill, Edmonton AB Canada

Having been looking for COLLARD in the 1860s I now find from 1861 census the
entry for the family I was looking for, in Mynyddislwyn:
William Collard SIBLEY, 29, born Wiveliscombe Som., cordwainer
Sarah, wife, 28, b. Mynyddislwyn
Edmund HARRIS, stepson, 4, b. Mynyddislwyn
so his name was Sibley after all - but he did become known as Collard and
was registered so at death in 1867. Explains why Sarah on remarriage was
Sibley, in 1873.
So... could someone please help me with the marriage of Sarah (then HARRIS)
to William in 1860/1, and the birth / christening of children as SIBLEY in
Abersychan / Pontnewynydd between then and 1867?
As far as I know there were girls Mary, Sarah Ann, and Adeline, and at least
one boy. They may have been registered as Sibley, but on 1871 and 1881
census they are all Collard!
This does get complicated... any ideas why he may have changed which name
he used?
Thanks
Ian

Hi everyone I have just joined this list and hope someone will be able to help me.I am searching for the following:JENKIN JENKINS who was previous to 1841 a tobacconist in (I think) Southwark.He had a son David who had emigrated to N.S.W. in Australia.I think they had earlier lived in Newport.This following information is from a letter I have in my possession dated 1841. David had a brother (Name unknown to me)who had married his cousin Rachil EVANS They had 2 daughters. David had a sister, ELIZABETH married to ??They had 3 children,a girl aged 8, girl aged 4 & a boy aged 8 months.Jenkin JENKINS had a brother DAVID who died c1840.There was also an uncle named JOHN MORGAN who lived in Newport A further uncle DAVID MORGAN who had been married twice ended up in a mental hospital.Another family name mentioned in the letter was LOUISE EVAN JONES. This maybe hard to understand my request but it was even harder to read a badly handwritten letter dated 1841.If anyone can help me I!
would be so delighted. Helen McNamara in beautiful New Zealand.

I run a different mailing list, and I have also had a lot of bounces lately
from earthlink addresses. I don't know if they've had system problems or
what, but earthlink subscribers should also check.
Thanks Ann.

Dear Listers,
Great news!! Eleven months after starting the project, I have just
uploaded the final 'U', 'V', 'W', and 'Y' sections of the alphabetical
gazetteer in Tallis's Topographical Dictionary of England and Wales
(1860) onto my "Tallis" website feature.
'U' section contains 8 gazetteer entries, supplemented by a fuller
description of the river Usk (MGY).
'V' section contains 13 gazetteer entries.
'W' section contains 36 gazetteer entries, supplemented by three fuller
descriptions including: Welshpool (MGY), and Wrexham (DEN).
'Y' section contains 17 gazetteer entries.
There were no 'X' or 'Z' entries for Wales.
I have also made a minor change to the way the gazetteer entries are
presented on my website. I have separated the place-name entries from
the entries for rivers. To study the list of place-names, go to the
"Place Gazetteer"; to study the list of rivers, go to the "River
Gazetteer".
You can access my transcript of Tallis's Topographical Dictionary at
http://home.clara.net/wfha/wales/tallis/
Note that if you are subscribed to more than one Welsh mailing list you
may receive multiple postings of this message.
Kind regards,

Congratulations John! Way to go! I know it's been a long road, and a lot of
hard work, and we appreciate it. I'm going right over to take a look.
Cheers!

My great-grandfather ....and his family ....lived at Cwmparc; and
evidently they had moved around, for the children all have different
birthplaces - Brecon, my grandfather in Barry Dock, and for the youngest
born 1898, Sebastopol, Mon.
That's not in my atlas or the Tallis gazetteer. So where, please, was
Sebastopol? (please don't say Russia...) Somewhere in Pontypool area, I
think. Henry's wife came from Abersychan and her mother still lived that
way.
===================
Dear Ian,
The advanced search facility offered with the LDS 1881 census transcript
shows that there was a Sebastopol in the Panteg census district. It is
listed as a "Dwelling" but from the number of families living there it
is clearly a community rather than one property.
My up-to-date copy of the A-Z Street Atlas of the Cardiff/Newport area,
which includes Pontypool, shows there to be a district called Sebastopol
just south of Griffithstown, about 1½ miles south of the centre of
Pontypool.
Sebastopol is at grid reference ST290982 on the detailed UK Ordnance
Survey 'Landranger' map (sheet 171). You can see the relevant section of
this map at the Streetmaps website www.streetmap.co.uk/
In the search section near the top of the Streetmaps homepage, select
the 'Landranger' option and enter ST290982 into the search field. Click
the Search button and when the initial streetmap format map appears,
change to the more useful Landranger map format by clicking once on the
[-] zoom out button at bottom right of the map.
You'll see Sebastopol identified by name and by a small orange arrow
near the centre of the map.
Kind regards,
John

Yes. Go here:
http://www.robware.com/
Get this:
http://www.robware.com/fi150sw.exe
Run it. It will add a new item, "Investigate", to your Explorer right-click context menu.
In Explorer, select a mystery file. Right click on it. Select Investigate from the menu. After a "nag" screen (click "Continue"), you will see how the program has identified your file (unless it's something the program doesn't recognize).
Select the radio button to change the extension instantly (if there are multiple extensions suggested, I'd pick the most familiar looking one <G> at least for starters). Exit the program (or, if there is an "Open" button showing on the Investigator panel, click that to view the file ).
I find this very useful. If the author ever gets around to updating it to cover more file types, I might even consider registering it.

If you know where the relevant parish registers are kept, you may be able to
get a photocopy of the register page rather cheaper than you would pay for a
copy marriage certificate.
At my local archives the charge is 3 UKP for a post-1837 marriage, while
pre-1837 marriages are the normal price for a photocopy. Might be more by
post.
This is the list of Glamorgan parishes held in Swansea
http://www.swansea.gov.uk/archives/book/parishrecords.htm
I think there are probably similar lists for other archives and record
offices.

If I lived in the vicinity of Nine Mile Point station in the 1870s, which
church would I go to for baptisms etc? (Bearing in mind the terrain.)
I have tried Mynyddislwyn, Machen and Risca.
Any other suggestions?
Also if I lived around Van in the early part of the 19th century,
specifically around Gwern y Domen, would I be Glam or Mon?
Just as an aside about Sylvia's 1881 census disk problem, I did have one
case where I found an OWENS on the disk, which was quite plainly EDWARDS
when I looked at the film, so it always pays to check.

A very big thank you to all who came to my rescue on the "Preater"
information. I was overwhelmed with the response and shall probably pen
my request in poetry each time now!!! Seriously thanks you have been a
great help.

Hello List
I am trying to trace the family and ancestors of an Elias JONES, born Blaina
Monmouth in 1889, and who was a Leading Seaman (RNVR) who died in WWI and is
buried in the Allied Cemetery Archangel in Russia. The Commonwealth War
Graves entry gives him as the son of Elias and Phoebe JONES but the 1901
census has him as their nephew and living with them in Rhymney. If I have
the correct birth certificate his real parents were Thomas and Ann JONES
(nee JONES). According to the 1891 census Thomas was born circa 1850
Brynmawr and Ann 1850 Garnvach but, frustratingly, I can't find this family
in 1881, though the 1891 says they had other children from as early as
Catherine in1874, then Martha 1876, Thomas John 1878, Richard 1884 and
Edmund 1886.
Other bits of the jigsaw are that I have Elias senior (1863 Rhymney) as the
son of another Thomas JONES, a colliery manager, and Ann (RICHARDS) but in
the 1881 he is the nephew of widow Ann JONES . I think she was born Ann REES
circa 1842 and married John JONES, they also had a son Elias!
With JONES being such a common name it is hard to be sure of any of this but
I'm hoping somebody on the list might recognise a bit here or there! In
which case I'd love to hear from them.
Regards
John
