Hello Robert,
Welcome to the list, you do not mention if you have looked at Census Records
for the years that they lived in Blaina being the 1891 and 1901 Census.
If you have already done so there would be no point in myself or other
listers searching for them on the Census Records, unless there is another lister
who is searching your Ancestry and have further knowledge of them, because no
doubt you know there is no other Census to search until March/April 2011 to
assist you further in your research, when the 1911 Census is released.
Regards Barbara
Hello Dave,
The only Electoral Lists searchable on line are present day records 2005/6
and to search you need to subscribe and it is expensive.
The older Electoral Registers are based at Newport main Library and Gwent
Records Office in Cwmbran, they have all the years from the date they started
but the early ones only have head of household listed.
Regards Barbara

I am particularly looking for a ? Morgan, living in Wilcae Terrace,
Raglan.
Well this was a fascinating exercise! Wilcae Terrace was built between 1937
and 1938. I know this because it is not on the 1937 Electoral Roll but it is
on the 1938.
There is only one MORGAN living in Wilcae Terrace and that's Caroline MORGAN
living at 6 Wilcae Terrace. Between 1931 and 1945 there are only two
Caroline MORGAN's in Raglan one lived at Castle Farm for the whole time and
the other lived at Brickyard before moving to Wilcae Terrace.
In 1935 there is a James Ernest MORGAN also living at Brickyard but from
1936 onwards there is no sign of him.Neither of them are there in 1931.
Now I want to know where Brickyard was and what the houses were like there.
Looks like I will need to talk to my friend who still lives in Raglan.
Hope this helps

Hi Barbara
The Charles Henry you mention is my great grandfather, 75 Waunborfa Road is the address on my grandmothers marriage cert a couple of years previous. Where did you find out he was listed at that address at the time of his death? I have other names that were living in the house from about 1932 - 1936 or 7. I am at work at the moment but can mail you again later with the other names. A couple of the perople living at the house are the witnesses of my grandmothers marriage. My grandmother died when my dad was only 3, so he knows nothing about this side of the family and I am desperately trying to find out something.
I will email again later when I get home from work.
Carol

Hello Carol,
I myself have not heard of Monmouthshire Mailing Lists as boards before::)), I have no connection regarding the Charles Henry Lewis you mention, but at the time of his death he is listed as living at 75,Waunborfa Road in Cefn FForest he was aged 45 when he died.
And he is buried in Bedwellty in Section H which is what we class as the Churchyard where St Sannans Church is located.
If it was in 2000 that Dave was a list member he may well have given up research, have you yourself got other information on Charles Henry Lewis to verify that he is your great-grandfather.

If anyone knows of a Dave V Lewis of Melbourne Australia, or this rings any bells with anyone, please get in touch. For info I have copied and pasted the original post below.

Dear David,
Dr Paul Smith's excellent website, offering a glossary of "Archaic Medical
Terms" for genealogists, gives the following explanation of Brights Disease:
---------------
Bright's Disease (chronic nephritis)
Historically, Bright's disease is often a catch-all for kidney diseases, but
strictly speaking is glomerulonephritis, which may be a complication of
streptococcal sore throat

Hi John,
I agree that the men marching in the funeral procession are soldiers, *not*
policemen.
The caption strongly suggests that, of course, as the funeral is of a Bombardier.
The "policeman's helmet" worn by the soldiers in your photograph was part of
the uniform of several regiments in the British Army and other European
armies in the 19th century and survived as part of their ceremonial unform
well into the 20th century. You'll see examples in photographs of Queen
Victoria's funeral in 1901, and Kind Edward VII's funeral in 1910.
The Artillery formal dress is a beautiful sight. I have a large, tinted photograph of my Grandfather in India that shows the navy blue with scarlet piping and collar. The only difference from the dress on the photo is that he had a pith helmet.
The soldiers in your photograph are carrying their weapons (rifles) in their
left hands, in the reversed position, which I believe was common practice in
funeral processions.
Someone on the Great War Forum gave a very eloquent explanation of the symbolism of a military funeral. I can remember two: the reversed arms shows the shame of causing death and the flag draped over the coffin shows that the deceased had been under the orders of the State and that the State was accepting its responsibility for his actions in life.
Incidentally, my father, who fought in WW1, did his basic training at Fort
Widley in 1916, when he was conscripted into the Oxfordshire and
Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (see www.jlb2005.plus.com/flbbiog/ww1.htm).
I have another postcard, showing the Fort, with a message that suggests he wasn't enjoying the experience...... :)
Thanks, Keith

Hello,
You did post it twice to list, from what I remember Ann will clarify this
for us, that rules on lists is that no attachments to be sent to mailing lists,
but there was no attachments on your emails anyway.

Hello David,
If you had followed the recent mailings of Stow Hill, which explained all
about Wooloston House which was renamed St Woolos Hospital Newport, but in the
years that you mention I have no knowledge of it being an Isolation Hospital.
It may have been late 1800's but not 1930.
Regards Barbara
Hi folks
I received a death certificate this morning for my gg grandmother. Sarah
Ann Maud Stephens (nee Bullock) died in 1930 at Wooloston House, Newport.
After doing a google search I found out that this was the isolation
hospital. I was just wanting to know if the list had any further
information about the hospital and where it is, what were conditions like in
1930.
Sarah died of chronic Brights disease which I've since found out is
"Chronic inflammation of the blood vessels in the kidney with protein,
specifically albumin, in the urine. There are a number of disorders that
lead to Bright's disease"
Was Wooloston House the usual local hospital/infirmary or wa sthere a
specific reason to take her there?
Regards

They're categorically not policemen. The deceased was a bombardier in the 21st Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (21st RFA on the caption). Their dress is the pre-WW1 formal dress of the artillery before the helmet was replaced by the flat cap. They are carrying rifles in their left hands, horizontally and with the butt facing forward. The message on the back of the postcard suggests my Grandfather was part of the guard.
His death certificate states Joseph Charles Chase died on 30th August 1909 at 114 Barrack Road, Newport, aged 26 years. His occupation is Bombardier, Royal Artillery, and his wife, Kate, registered his death on 31st August.
