Hello Alwyn,
I can confirm everything you say, and thank you for pointing them out. Of
course, overseas members don't, and have not, paid VAT.
As Membership Secretary, I must admit I liked the part where you say you
wish to pay your subscription in advance at the fair in September.Any other
member is free to do the same [ hint hint ]
Regards,
Stan,
Gwynedd FHS.

Hi There,
Please could some kind soul look up the 1851 census for:
LEWIS THOMAS b.c.1790's Mer Llangelynin stone mason
or farmer
CATHERINE THOMAS b.1796 Mer.Llangelynin
I can't find them at Llangelynin in the 1841 so maybe they are further
afield in the 1851
many thanks
Marilyn from Western Australia

My family ties are further west in the county, Pencaenewydd &Llwyndyrys,
where my grandfather came from, and also Anglesey, where my grandmother's
family came from.
This probably why I was vague about the northeastern border of the county.
No problem Neville.... good hunting! Difficult from this side of the pond
isn't it?

Interesting - I looked up a map of - excuse the spelling -
'Carnarvonshire'. [It presumably was the 'anglicised' spelling at the
time - 1885.] The map, link below, shows both Llandudno [which surprised
me] and a section of the coast further to the east, between Old Colwyn and
Llandulas [which surprised me even more!] to both be in Carnarvonshire, and
not Denbighshire. The question might not only be what the court case was
about, but also where in 'Colwyn Bay' the person was from, or where it
concerned.

Simple questions are always the most difficult to answer <g>
Criminal charges in England and Wales are usually answered for in the area in
which they were committed. As a person from Colwyn Bay (Denbighshire) would
not have to travel far to commit a crime in Llandudno (Caernarfonshire), many
Colwyn miscreants have appeared before the beak in Llandudno.
If a matter was considered to be serious enough to be brought before a Crown
Court, it could be heard either in the county in which the crime was
committed, a neighbouring county, London or in the case of any county in
Wales with the exception of Monmouth in Cheshire. I don't think (but I may be
wrong) that county courts were held in Llandudno in the early 1900s
Civil matters, such as divorce, libel, debt, bankruptcy, etc. are an even
more complicated area.
It might help to narrow the possible answers down if you could divulge what
the court case was about.
Regards
Alwyn

Hello Kate,
As an overseas member you could pay your subscription of £10, by a £10 note,
or your own currency. i.e $17 US. We will also accept a Sterling cheque
check ] if you have a UK bank account. I'm afraid we can't accept a cheque
made out in a foreign currency, as the bank charges would leave very little
for the Society. You can join on-line by means of a credit card - details to
follow.

I would be grateful for any information about the Williams family of Llanfair yn Neubwll/Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn, Anglesey.
My ancestor Mary Williams was born in 1827 the daughter of William Williams and Catherine at Traffwll.
On March 27 1846 she maried Thomas Owen at LLanfihangel yn Nhowyn parish church.
Mary's father William was born in 1787, also to a William Williams and Catherine. The younger William married Catherine Jones on July 23 1816 at Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn Parish church. Catherine was the daughter of Griffith Jones and Anne Owen. Griffith Jones married Anne in 1793, and Griffiths was said to be of LLanfihangel Ysgeifiog. Their daughter Catherine was born in 1795. Griffith farmed Towyn, Llanfihangel yn Nhowyn where he died on September 27 1843 aged 73, therefore he was born around 1770.
Anne Owen was the daughter of Owen Griffith, who was the son of William Griffith, also of Towyn.
The younger William Williams farmed Traffwll during 1817-1864.
The older William Williams was born around 1757, and on July 28 177o he married Catherine Griffith at Llechylched, who was the daughter of Griffith Jones and Ellen Jones.
William Williams lived at Traffwll at the time of the 1841 census and died there in 1844.
Hi Dick,

Wales in June.I have been desperately trying to find out as much as
possible about my family before visiting.With the help of the Listers I
think I am finally getting there
Many thanks

Tyn or Ty'n can also be the diminutive of 'ty yn y' or 'house in the'
e.g. Tynyberllan = house in the orchard
Tynygongl = house in the corner
Tynycoed = house in the trees.

In the previous message I had assumed it was the Llangelynin near Conway.
The following present-day mailing addresses correspond exactly to the
Ty'n y Llech opposite Carmel Chapel (Wesleyan Methodist).
Tynllech Bungalow, LLWYNGWRIL. LL37 2QL
Tynllech Cottage, LLWYNGWRIL. LL37 2QL
For the approximate location go to http://www.streetmap.co.uk
Select 'Post Code' and enter the above postcode. From the street-map
format zoom out by clicking on the [-] button at the bottom right to
get a 3 km x 3 km section of the local Ordnance Survey 1:50,000
Landranger map. The location is indicated by the red arrow. You can
zoom out further if you wish.
As the chapel is no longer marked by a '+' but there is still a
building marked on the Landranger map then it's very likely that the
chapel was converted into a dwelling and is one of the above
addresses.

You can also view a modern aerial photo as well, what value!

Far more likely to be 'Tynllech'.
tyn = contracted form of tyddyn = small-holding
llech = slate
It is not on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 map or in the Postal
Address File database of the Royal Mail.
