Hello All, I thought I would publish to the list as others may find it of interest. I
found one Gwilliam baptism from St Mary's.... it wasn't the most detailed of
searches given the weekend that it was. Alice Kate Gwilliam was baptised on the 11th
August 1872 her Parents were William and Sarah Gwilliam...... William was a publican.
There were a few Lovett baptisms two of which belong to John and (H?)Esther Lovett Harry
baptised June 23rd 1867 and John baptised Aug 13th 1871......John being a Labourer. There
was a Thomas and Elizabeth Lovett who had a daur. Margretta (looks like it) Oct 30th 1870
...Thomas being a Railway porter. There was a Charlotte Thomas born Nov 2nd and baptised
Nov 4th 1809 parents being William and Ann Thomas. I couldn't find the Thompson
marriage or Cole's but there were a number of entries far too faded. There is a Sam
Cole mentioned in the book that I gave earlier......also there was a high class milliner
by the name of Gwilliam at Paris Hous!
e, Hay 1922. I think that's it .....I had great luck....managed to meet a nice lady
who is a Grandaughter to the brother of my Mother's Grandfather...... quite a find
really considering my G Grandfather left Hay c1892.....plenty of info to go with it too!
That's it for now..... for those of you who have considered visiting Hay and the
surrounding area, do your self a favour and take a look for yourself. Regards,Kevin, Co
