A terrible discovery was made by Sergt. BEVAN, of the Swansea police, when he broke into an empty house in Eaton-crescent, Swansea, on Monday. In an upstairs room he found Edgar James DUNCAN, a Mumbles architect, lying dead in a pool of blood.
DUNCAN, who lived at 40, Oakland-road, Mumbles, had been reported to the police as missing from home since Friday afternoon last. He was a war victim, having been forced to give up his profession through losing his sight as a result of war injuries; and he also suffered from a stiff leg caused by wounds. On Friday he went to Messrs. LEEDERS the Swansea auctioneers, and obtained the key of an empty house in Eaton-crescent. Nothing further was heard of him until Monday, when the auctioneers communicated with the police, and Sergt. BEVAN went to the house in EATON-crescent. In order to enter the police officer had to force open the back door.
By the side of DUNCAN was a blood-stained razor and there was a gash in his throat. By his side also were the broken fragments of a bottle. The body was removed to the mortuary, and later in the day was identified by relatives.

I came across the following a few years ago.
South Wales Echo, 24th February 2003, by STEVE EDWARDS, Chief Reporter. "Plea for Driscoll may not succeed".
Cardiff 1927, World War 1 veteran, Danny DRISCOLL, was charged with the murder of bookmaker, Dai LEWIS. He was tried, and found guilty and hanged in Cardiff Prison a year later. Since 1998 DRISCOLL'S nephew, Chris DRISCOLL, has been attempting to have the judgement referred to the Court of Appeal. It is held by lawyers engaged by Chris that the summing up of the judge in the case was biased and would not pass today's judiciary standards.
Before he died, LEWIS had claimed, that the accused, Danny DRISCOLL had nothing to do with the fatal stabbing. However, Danny was convicted on the basis that he helped to hold the victim down. Prior to his execution, there was a campaign to bring a reprieve for DRISCOLL and 250,000 people signed a petition to the Home Office. Lawyers for Chris DRISCOLL now feel that the trial judge simply directed the Jury to convict Danny DRISCOLL in 1927 and they are requesting the the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) now review the guilty decision.
Was this ever reviewed, and what was the outcome. ?

I am new to your list and I am finding the conversation about the BBC very
interesting. I had no idea of what I was missing living in the US.
I did want to put out my interests in hopes of finding some guidance. I
have been researching this family for some time now with not much luck. I
am looking for a family from the Tredegar area. (I hope this is the right
list for the area) I have found the main family on the 1861 census, then
Thomas Died and Marry married David Williams. She had her Jenkins boys with
her. I know that David immigrated to the US but I have not yet been able to
find Edward Jenkins anywhere after the 1881 census. I would love to hear
from anyone out there researching this line or has information.
Thanks you

Letter to the Western Mail.
Sir,- One afternoon last week my wife and I were on the beach at the Leys, St. Athan's. My wife picked up half a skelton of a pigeon, and on one of the legs was an aluminium ring lettered as follows:- "N.U.R.P. 25 Y.R. 499." It is now in my possession. The owner may have the same by applying to the address below.- I am, &c., Thomas J. HAM, Cross Keys Hotel, Llantrisant.
"This is clearly a case of coal gas poisoning.The whole thing seems a rather sordid story. The deceased seems to have given away to drink, and she had no money.
There is very little doubt that she had committed bigamy, and she had lost the man with whom she had been living and married recently."
These remarks were made by Dr. KEMP, the West Middlesex coroner, at the Kilburn Coroner's Court on Saturday in recording a verdict of "Suicide while of unsound mind" in the case of Mrs. Florence Mary CAVILL 44, of Carlton Vale-road, Kilburn, who was found dead on Wednesday in a room filled with gas.
Henry CAVILL, a miner, of Mount Pleasant, Pentyrch, near, Cardiff, gave evidence of identification.
He last saw his wife four years ago, he said, and he had not heard from her since. They were married in 1901. He did not know that his wife had married again.
William George BARWICK, of Carlton Vale, said that he had known Mrs. CAVILL for two and a half years. She lived at the top of his house and had been living with BROWNSON. Some time ago she showed him a certificate that she and BROWNSON had got married. BROWNSON died a fortnight ago, and Mrs. CAVILL was lonely and depressed.
He last saw her alive on Tuesday evening and on Wednesday evening he went to her room and found her lying on the bed with a gas pipe in her left hand apparently dead. The room was full of gas and all the windows were shut.
The Coroner: Did she drink?
Witness: Very much at times.
P.A. CLARK, the coroner's officer, said that he found a marriage certificate between Frank Douglas BROWNSON, a widower, and Florence Mary CAVILL, a widow, of Carlton Vale.
Dr. EVANS said that the gas pipe was near the woman's mouth. Death was due to coal gas poisoning.

Llewellyn DAVIES, M.I.M.S., surveyor to the Cardigan District Council, son of the late Mr. John DAVIES and Mrs. DAVIES, of Aeron, Hebron, Pembrokeshire, was married on Saturday at the Tabernacle Church, The Hayes, Cardiff, to Miss Beryl VAUGHAN-GRIFFITHS, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.D. GRIFFITHS, 128, Colum-road, Cardiff. TAhe Rev. T. Lodwig EVANS (uncle of the bride) officiated.
A charming frock of ivory georgette trimmed with pearls and silver and a tulle veil with coronet of silver leaves and orange blossom were worn by the bride, who was given away by her father. She carried a shower bouquet of carnations, lilies of the valley, and white heather. The bridemaids were Miss Betty GRIFFITHS (sister) and Miss Gwyneth DAVIES (niece) both wearing frocks of fuchsia crepe-de-chine, trimmed with silver, with wreaths of silver leaves, and carrying posies of shaded tulips. Mr. West DAVIES, cousin of the bridegroom, was best man, and Mr. T.W. MILLAR groomsman. After a reception the bridal couple left for London and Brighton, the bride wearing a two-piece suit of beige, hat to tone, and stone-marten fur, the gift of the bridegroom.
The wedding took place on Saturday at St. Mark's Church, Newport, of Mr. Malcomb HENRY, M.I.C.E., resident engineer of the Great Western Railway at Newport, and Miss Gwen DYMOND, Cardiff-road, Newport. The Rev. Isaiah ROBERTS, M.A. (vicar), and the Rev.A.S.D. BUCKLEY, officiated.
The bridemaids were the Misses Iris andAdrienne WATERS, Penarth (cousins of the bride), with Master Geoffrey DYMOND (nephew of the bride) as page. The groomsmen were Messrs. Allen O. MITCHELL and C.T. BLACKALL.
The honeymoon is being spent in the South of France.
Arthur FAULKNER, a Rogerstone steelworker, was at Newport on Saturday charged with stealing £33 in Treasury notes belonging to his brother, Henry FAULKNER. The proceedings were taken by Mary FAULKNER, a sister-in-law.
It was stated that Henry FAULKNER had been an in-patient at the Royal Gwent Hospital for some time.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS (Messrs. T.S. EDWARDS and Son) was for the prosecution. Mr. F.H. DAUNCEY, who represented the accused, applied for a remand and this was granted.
John Patrick.
Western Mail Monday April 26th 1926.
Mr. Alexander John ATKINSON, of Springcroft, Pentyrch, died at his sister's residence at Newport after a long illness. He was a partner in the firm of Messrs. R. W. and A.J. ATKINSON, analytical chemists, of Cardiff, but retired a few years ago. He was formerly a member of the Cardiff Board of Guardians, and the Pentyrch Parish Council, but ill-health brought his public work to an end about three years ago. In politics he was a Liberal. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Tuesday) at Blaenavon, where his wife was buried 24 years ago.
The death is announced at Trehafod of Lieut. Walter DANIEL, son of the Rev. Walter DANIEL, pastor of Siloam C.M. Church, Trehafod. Born at Barry Docks 29 years ago, he removed with his parents to Splotlands, Cardiff, when his father took charge of Jerusalem C.M. Church there. From Splott School he passed to the Howard-gardens Secondary School at which he took his London matriculation certificate and won two scholarships at the Cardiff University College. He joined the R.A.M.C. in 1915, and with the R.W.F. served in France where he was so badly wounded that he was in hospital for over two years.
Subsequently he entered Cambridge University, and thence to St. George's Hospital, London, where he was on the point of finishing his course when his health broke down. His only brother, Lieut. Thois. George DANIEL, fell in the Great War.
The Rev. James PHILLIPS, of Brynteg House, 4, Tydraw-place, Port Talbot, Baptist minister (who never had charge of a church), and at one time a miner, who died on February 7, left estate of the gross value of £1,036, with net personalty £845. Probate of the will dated November 8, 1917, has been granted to his son, Mr. Emrys Garfield PHILLIPS, of the same place, shipbroker. Testator left his property to his son, Emrys Garfield PHILLIPS.
Mr. Frederick Verriour MARMENT, of Merridale, Picton-road, Tenby, formerly of Elstree, and Uplands, Tewksbury, who died on February 1st, aged 72 years, left estate of the gross value of £14,960. with net personalty £14, 213. Probate of the will, dated January 28, 1926, has been granted to the National Provincial Bank (Limited). Testator left his residence and furniture and £500. to Jane HARRIES, "whom I am about to marry"; £3. per month to his sister, Mrs. RICE; £50. to his sister,Mrs. BLAKE; his moneys in the Nantmedyn Mine, near Llandovery, as to 35% each, to his grand-daughter, Phyllis MARMENT, and his daughter-in-law, Elsie MARMENT, and 30% to the children of his sister Jane, and the said Jane HARRIES, and the residue of the property he left as 30%., to the children of his sister Jane and 35%. each, to his daughter-in-law Elsie MARMENT and his grand-daughter Phyllis MARMENT.
Mr. Thomas BOWDEN died at Brynmenyn on Saturday. He was a mining stalwart, whose persistent bravery at Raglan Colliery twenty years ago will long be recalled by local colliery workers. A man of unusual physical strength, as a colliery official, he worked like a Trojan for sixteen hours to relieve two men named BRITON and LEYSHON, who had been imprisoned in the mine, and so heavy was the strain he subjected himself to at the time that it affected him for the rest of his days. His name will long be revered among South Glamorgan miners.
That one of the rungs of the ladder on which he was standing had rotted owing to exposure to the weather was the theory advanced at the inquest on Saturday for the death of James WHITCOMB 67, a painter and decorator, of 27, Brithidir-street, street, Cardiff, who was injured while doing repairs to his house and died at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary.
The Coroner returned a verdict of "Accidental death."
The Seventh annual show of theWhitchurch Horse Show will be held at the Polo Grounds, Whitchurch, on Wednesday, May 26th.
Entries- Should be forwarded to the secretary, Mr. Morgan JOSEPH, 109, Crwys-road, Cardiff.
Monmouth County Teachers' Association elected Mr. J. JONES, of Ebbw Vale, as president.

Hello,
Can anyone help with these census please?
I'm looking for 2 brothers, don't know their parents names at moment.
William Harris was born 1823-1828 according to 1870/80
U. S. Census when he was in Scranton. PA
John Harris, born about 1842/3. Killed in PA in 1869.
Their father could have been Thomas, but that's a guess.
Many thanks

Thanks Janet
By the my KRAFT (CRAFT) moved to what is now Fayette County in 1770, when
the WEBB family came to the states around 1880 they also moved to Northern
part of Fayette County. Their paths did not cross till several years later
in Ohio.
Kraft/Craft was a farmer and the Webb family were miners.
Again thanks for the info.

Western Mail Monday April 26th 1926.
A man was pushed off the platform at Wembley Station during the rush after the football match, and lay on the metal plates stunned.
Mr. John LEAKE, of Bassaleg, Newport, jumped off the platform in front of an on-coming train and pulled him to safety.
Mr. LEAKE, was brushed by the train, but got up and walked away uninjured.
At the age of 85 years, after a residence of over 50 years in Cardiff, Mr., T.H. MALLETT died on Sunday morning at 16, South Luton-place, following a brief illness.
Mr. MALLETT came to Cardiff as the agent and manager of the Lancaster Wagon Company. He was secretary of the Cardiff Choral Society, then under the leadership of the late D.C. DAVIS, and for many years served as churchwarden of All Saint's , Cardiff, an office which his eldest son, Mr. J.H. MALLETT, now holds.
Mrs. Agnes BISS, wife of an unemployed master mariner, believes that the reported discovery of a will may release to her a valuable estate in Somerset and London.
The estate forms the property of William HAYMAN, who died in 1740 at Buckland, St. Mary, Somerset. It has been lying dormant in Chancery owing to the absence of HAYMAN'S will.
So far as Mrs. BISS is aware, there is only one rival claimant, a retired painter, last located in Taunton. At present all efforts to trace him have failed.
Colwyn Bay Bench were inform on Saturday that Idris JOSEPH, alias Allan Arthur Ainsley, a sailor belonging to Trebanog, South Wales, "wanted" in connection with the theft of a motor-cycle at Barry Dock and other charges, was ill in Walton Gaol, Liverpool, having swallowed a teaspoon and some pins.
An X-ray examination confirmed prisoner's statement.
When arrested he had a loaded revolver in his possession.
The wedding has been arranged, and will take place on June 3rd, between Miss Ceinwen DAVIES, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas DAVIES, St. Quinton-avenue, London, and Dr. Ben THOMAS, son of Mr. and Mrs. William THOMAS, The Promenade, Swansea.
Failure of the lubrication system of his motor-cycle is believed to have led to the death of Sidney WALL 26, steelworker, 2, Staffordshire-row, Griffithstown.
WALL was ridfing his motor-cycle on the main Pontypool to Newport road on Saturday evening and when between New Inn and Croesyceiliog the engine "seized," so that the rear wheel became locked. After skidding for some distance WALL crashed into a telegraph pole, receiving a fracture of the base of the skull and other injuries, to which he succumbed at the Pontypool and District Hospital on Sunday evening.
Mr. Evan PHILLIPS, of Tongwnlais, and Mr. Willie MILLWARD, of Taff's Well (the ex-amateur champion light-weight boxer), while on their milk-round on the Viaduct-road, Taff's Well, on Sunday morning, heard cries of women for help. When they reached the spot they saw a man huurying away, but they caught him, and after a short struggle were able to hand to the police.
A young girl, accompanied by her mother, alleged that the man had assaulted her.
Mr. Alfred MORRIS, who years ago was one of the best-known malsters in South Wales, died at his residence at Caerleon on Sunday at the advanced age age of 86. On retiring from his business as malster he founded with his wife-the late Mrs. A. MORRIS, L.R.A.M., who was well known in the Cardiff music circles-thge well-known Lulworth College of Music. Mr. MORRIS was keenly interested in church work, especially church music.
