As Ann said the other day, this list is a very quiet list! So I thought I'd
liven it up a bit!!
Are we allowed to search for descendants as well as ancestors on the list?
My maternal grandfather came from a family of painters and decorators in
Bala. He moved to Llan Ffestiniog to paint and decorate (and keep a shop),
one of his brothers stayed in Bala in the same trade, and another brother
moved to Penrhyndeudraeth, also to paint and decorate.
His name was Robert Edwards, and we are just outside the 100-year
confidentiality rule here, as he died on 24th January, 1902! I have some
information on his wife and seven children. I will not go into detail as
they are still within the 100-year rule, but I believe a grandson was in a
very good job in Birkenhead.
I have made enquiries in the Penrhyndeudraeth area as to the whereabouts of
any surviving descendants of Robert and his wife. I have also written a
letter to the local paper "Yr Wylan" asking for information, but to no
avail.
I realise that this is not a lot to go on, but it might be enough to trigger
someone's memory. My grandfather was one of 10 children, and I have a good
record of his other siblings, but Robert's family has somehow slipped
through the net.
Any information would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Enid.
