Hello Listers,
For some time now I have been researching the lives of two intrepid Welsh
ladies, who served though the ranks, became Masters, started Seamanship and
Navigation Schools in Caernarfon and Llangrannog, and ran them successfully
for many years circa 1860.
One's pupils included the Masters of the largest Sailing vessel [the
"Palgrave"] and the largest Steamship of their day "RMS Majestic".
The
other had wide social interests, became a Bard of Wales, "Cranogwen",
lecturer, preacher, Editor of Woman's Newspaper, Tonic Sol-Fa examiner etc.
Happy to exchange info on Sarah Jane Rees of Llangrannog 1839 to 1916 and
Ellen Edwards of Caernarfon 1818 to 1898.
Biggest gaps in my research are, exact location of Schools and homes, and
descendants.
Cheers Bob Britton
