Hi John
I don't think it has anyhing to do with the license fee. You pay the fee if you have a receiver in your home, whether it's plugged in and working or not. I think it's more to do with the way the transmitting strength the BBC puts out. The same way we can't get a lot of stations from abroard the further they are away from the UK.

Hi, My wife is a cousin to a John Pugh with a farm there now. Please call

Hi
I am trying very very hard to trace my father's roots and sadly time is running out as he is getting and forgetful. He is a Pugh who's family came from Cwmtuddwr. His gggf Thomas Pugh married one Pheobe Richards in Aberdare in about 1855. Thomas' father is given as John Pugh/farmer and birth place is as said above. I have found thomas working as an apprentice draper in 1841 aged 14 in Rhayader but can't tace John or THomas' mother.
Any help would be much valued.
PS the son of thomas ...William marries Mary Ann Hamer from Cwmtuddwr sometime later. Horrid suspicion they were cousins!!
thanks again

I am looking for a family I have traced back to the Llanidloes area. JENKINS
or REES is the surname. Somebody has given me information that I am trying
to verify, but I am not having much luck.
I have found my family line in theTredegar Bedwelltycensus of 1851 and 1861,
Thomas JENKINS born about 1825 +/- 2 years in the St. Harmon / Llanidloes
area. I know from Thomas' marriage certificate that his father was an Edward
JENKINS. Someone has given me information that might lead to a name change
that would include the REES surname.
The line they gave me goes like this: Thomas was born Thomas REES (not
Thomas Jenkins) whose father was Edward JENKINS born 1798 in Llangurig Mont.
whose father was Rees JENKINS born about 1758 also in Llangurig.
I am basically trying to find the birth of my Thomas JENKINS from the
census.
Can anyone help me locate this family in the Llanidloes / Llangurig area?
Thank you,
Jill
I was really upset to find that the hidden histories programs are not
available to those of us who reside outside the UK.

Just noticed that a new series of BBC Wales & RCAHMW Hidden Histories
started tonight so will watch later on iPlayer so mentioning here for anyone
else living outside Wales who might not be aware of the series. It is
available outside Wales on both satellite and iPlayer. Series I was
repeated on BBC Four.

Yes Margaret and All,
The very many fine wooden Panels for all the Soldiers who died in the Two
World Wars and later are quite overpowering really - so many nice family
names that we used to know, and all their home Parishes. It really makes us
wonder why the UK and German Royal Families (ALL Cousins together), and
their Leaders in the long Wars, never stopped to consider the dreadful costs
and outcomes for the Millions who died or were wounded on all sides, and the
sad effects for all their Families to this day. They never seem to ever
talk about all that, like in Wars today.
My mother's father died at Suvla Bay in Gallipoli in late 1915 when she was
just 3, with the Hereford Regiment, as did some others from Mid Wales, and
my Uncle Richard Cleaton with the Brecknock Battalion of the South Wales
Borders died in 1944 aged 47, and our Albert Cleaton from Dolfor in the
1920's.
I attended many parades as an Army Cadet here over 60 years ago, and I
served overseas in the Army and MOD later, and I now go to Llanyre locally
to place a wreath on the Memorial I did for the Ten USA Aircrew who all
died in the crash of their "Sondra Kay" B17 Fortress aircraft from it's Sussex
base, on 16th September 1943, after a raid on German U Boat Pens in SW
France.
I would still like to here from any of their US Families and others
-.Sondra Kay Lewis was the baby daughter of the tail Gunner, Joshua Lewis USAAF,
and I still have all the other Crew names and 1943 addresses, who were all
in the USAAF BG 388, (388th BOMB GROUP)
.
Some were Buried at the US Military Cemetery at Cambridge, UK, and others
in USA later.
All Wars are very sad, and no one gains very much in the long run

Dear All,
I have been have another look at my family tree and have found that an Alice Maddy of Winterton Abbott Widow daughter and Heir of Thomas Harteman of Corfe Castle, Dorset comes up in my archives.
I have been on the web site relating to the Hartemans but there is nothing there that gives me any idea of who the Maddy was that Alice married. The piece of information I have was stated to be in the year 1565.
She was already a widow by this time so she would possibly have married at least a few years earlier.
Does anyone know anything about the Harteman family or have them in their family tree and would know what the name of the Maddy was who married Alice.
Hoping there's someone out there that knows.
Best wishes
Sue in Suffolk
Hi John and everyone,
Thanks for your email about the on-line database of names on community WW1
war memorials and for following it up. It is certainly a worthwhile
project retrieving the names database from Channel 4 however it is daunting
still having 690,000 names remaining so obviously they need as many
volunteers as possible.
Thanks also for the input from other subscribers to the list.
Regards,
Margaret Harvey

Dear Listers,
Another list to which I belong has been carrying a discussion about the best
methods of backing up and archiving our family history data. One of the
views expressed today is as follows:
--------------------------
Surely the only possible reliable long term Archive Quality backup, i.e.
that will last for a few hundred years, is a good old fashioned printout in
proper printer-quality ink on archive-quality vellum or similar. The point
surely is that it is highly likely that none of today's digital-based hard
discs, CDs, tapes and the like will still operate in say 500 years time, and
we have in the UK millions of records that still survive after four or five
hundred and more years.
If we of today don't think in such longer term demi-millenniums or so, the
problems for future generations re-engineering our old digital disc-based
archives will be well nigh impossible for sheer volume, technology and cost
reasons.
--------------------------
[From the 'Family-Historian-Users' list, hosted by RootsWeb]
I wonder whether you agree that paper records are more long-lasting than
records stored in digital form on electronic media.
I'd be interested to hear your opinions.
Kind regards,
John

John,
Well I do agree that paper is ok and I have always maintained my "hard
copies", but they are a problem if you have a fire or a flood! I would
think, as a researcher for 40+ years, that one would constantly upgrade their
backing up methods to suit the time. I can remember using the old floppy
disks, tons of them for my backup, and then we moved to cds/dvds, and then to
flash drives and stand alone external hard drives. Surely, in the future,
we will move at a similar pace and change with the times to whatever format
is in vogue.
Just my thoughts,

Dear Listers,
After sending my earlier message about the missing Channel 4 war memorial
database (appended below), I found the following explanation on the website
of the 'United Kingdom National Inventory of War Memorials' at
http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/server/show/nav.002006
--------------
Names Database:
Please note the Channel 4 Lost Generation Names database is unavailable. We
are currently in the process of retrieving the First World War names
database from Channel 4 following our successful partnership with the Lost
Generation series. The database will be accessible on the UK National
Inventory of War Memorials website once we have transferred and sorted the
data.
If you are interested in assisting with editing the current names data and
inputting further names do contact us. You can work on the project remotely
from home and training is provided to help you carry out the task. You will
be given a set of memorial names lists to work with and, once edited, you
can return these and come back for more if you wish! With around 690,000
names remaining to be checked the more helpers the merrier.
--------------
This sounds like a worthwhile project in which to become involved!
Kind regards,
John

Yes, most of us would have attended our local Armistice Day services and
sang our national anthem with our hands at our sides, watched the remaining

Hi everyone,
I was thinking today about all those who lost their lives in the two World
Wars and in all the other conflicts including the recent ones including my
great uncle Edward Mills. He died aged twenty on the Somme during the First
World War just a few months after arriving there. His home was Upper
Nanthir, near Llananno, Radnorshire and until he enlisted in the army he had
probably not travelled very far from the parish. I wonder if subscribers to
this list know that in the entrance hall of Llandrindod Wells Memorial
Hospital there are "War Memorial Boards" listing the names of Radnorshire
servicemen who lost their lives fighting for their
country. The names are listed under the towns, villages and hamlets where
they lived and I will always remember seeing several with identical surnames
from the same small place. They could have been brothers or cousins so
perhaps a whole generation of males in a family were wiped out. I visited
the hospital a few years ago and it was a very moving experience standing
there reading the names including that of my great uncle.
I expect there is a list of these names in the Powys Archives but I don't
know how available they are to researchers.

Margaret Harvey

Thanks very much for the information about further Montgomeryshire records
appearing on the Find My Past website.
>From the parish registers I had previously known that my great x 3
grandparents Evan Mantle and Elizabeth Evans married at St Idloes,
Llanidloes on 11 May 1832. They were referred to as 'of this parish' which I
could only take to be within Llanidloes itself or the surrounding area.
However, having been alerted to the new information on FMP I checked the
above marriage and was delighted to find additional parish information. I
now know that Evan Mantle was from Gorn and Elizabeth Evans was from Cwm.
The couple lived at Newchapel where Evan worked as a lead miner so it seems
increasingly likely that Evan worked at the old Gorn lead mine at the time
of marriage. I already know that Evan's eldest son, also Evan Mantle, was
killed there in 1849 aged just 15.
After a bit of further research and thanks to Powys Archives, I now know
that the extra information on FMP (in addition to the parish register
source) came from the Register of Banns. This is a resource that I would not
previously have thought of checking so thanks very much to the members of
the Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society who've taken the trouble to
transcribe all available sources to build up the widest possible picture.
The hard work of the project team has certainly paid off for me.

Subject: [POWYS] More Monts parish data online!
Dear listers,
I am pleased to announce that the baptism, marriage and burial records of
three more Montgomeryshire parishes have appeared online.
They are Llanidloes C1616-1874; M1615-1837; B1615-1840
Llangurig C1677-1861; M1677-1837; B1677-1875
Trefeglwys C1624-1856; M1661-1836; B1633-1846.
They are yet to appear on FMP's list of parishes covered but I have checked
and the data on the three is there!
They are to be found on http://www.findmypast.com . These have been added to
the other 35 parishes previously already up and running, making a total of
38.
These transcriptions are the work of a small group of members of the
Montgomeryshire Genealogical Society. These will be published in booklet
form, but there is currently a backlog in the printing of these booklets so
we trust that the appearance of the records online will help researchers.
Gaps or difficult to read passages in the parish registers have been
supplemented by use of the Bishop's Transcripts so we believe that the
finished product is as comprehensive and inclusive as it is possible to be.
For a full list of the society's publications and details of membership
please see our website: http://home.freeuk.net/montgensoc/
Bryn Ellis,
Project leader.
As I have said it is a Services rank but I am not sure, I think it may have been a Police Rank.

Subject: [POWYS] warrant officer details
Listers, I have come across a report circa 1911 from a workhouse minute
book, which states that a decision to prosecute someone was to be left in
the hands of the WARRANT OFFICER. Can anyone throw any light on this post?,
and where I can look next for notes from the same .
regards

A Warrent Officer as far as I am aware is a Military Office, I think the Army, Navy and Air Force have a Warrent Officer rank.
