Question regarding Anglesey military info.
I just found a 1901 newspaper article which mentions my granddad's brother,
William Thomas (b. 4/11/1876) was with the 2nd battalion, Royal Welsh
Fusileers. The article mentions he would be discharged Jan. 1, 1901. It
also noted he had signed up for seven years (abt. 1894 -1901), and he had
been in Central India and Hong Kong.
Our family has no other information for William. The Robert & Margaret
(Owen) Thomas family lived in the Dwyran area. Is there a way to check to
see if he was actually discharged, or perhaps he died in service? What
would be the best source for me to use?
Thanks,
Katie

Hi all,
I am new to this mailing list and was hoping to get a bit of info. I am
not familiar with Anglesey, so please forgive my ignorance if I list an
area or place incorrectly. My question is regarding a marriage in 1947.
Are the names of the bride & grooms parents listed on the certificate?
The marriage is between Anne Jane OWEN to Robert Hughes LEWIS at Llanfair
N.B. Church in October 1947 (day unknown).
Hoping someone can help.
Regards,
Karen Coughlan.

Hello everyone,
Can anyone help in finding the Tabernacle Calvanistic Methodist church in
Llanfairmathafarneithaf? Is it still there? A cousin of my late husband
was married there in 1924 & I'm hoping to find a photo of the church. I
have a wedding photo of the couple but I don't think it was taken outside
of the church. It has sash windows with curtains & looks like the outside
of a house - although I could be wrong!! The bride's home was called
"MAESLLYDAN" & was in Llanddyfnan & is possibly the location of the
wedding photo. Her name was Gracie Ellen OWEN & the groom was John (aka
Jack) PARRY of Llanallgo.
Also - is there a photo of MAESLLYDAN in existence? This house was
demolished after WW2 & houses were built in the area - probably on part of
the land.
I would be grateful for any help offered.
Regards,
Brenda.
