List Further to Alison's message stating that Terry Davies' second book "Borth: A Maritime History" has been published. According to this weeks edition of the Cambrian News it's the 125th Anniversary of the Borth & Ynyslas Golf Club. Borth Golf Club was a founder member of the Golfing Union of Wales, whose first meeting took place in 1894. In 1938, the inaugural meeting of the newly formed Mid Wales Golf Association was held at the Golf Club, with the hosts being a founder member of the association. As part of the 125th Anniversary celebrations, Tessa Briggs has researched, compiled and edited a book, entitled "Borth & Ynyslas Golf Club: Links with the Past" which charts the history of the club from its early days in the 1870's up to the present. The article states that "Links with the Past" is copiously illustrated throughout, with some photographs dating back to the very early days of the 20th Century; and as such is not just a book for golfers but will be of interest for anyone who is interested in local history. Copies are available at £5.99, plus £1 post & packing from the club (cheques made payable to Borth & Ynyslas Golf Club); postal address: Borth, Ceredigion, SY24 5JS. Tel: 01970 871202 John PS I have no links to the club but I thought some of you may be interested if you have links to Borth, as I do. -----Original Message----- From: dyfed-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dyfed-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Alison Bryan Sent: 31 December 2009 00:27 To: Dyfed List Subject: [Dyfed] CGN: Borth books Dear all Just a heads up if you have ancestors from Borth, there's a second book out by Terry Davies called Borth: A Maritime History.

Retrospectives: Llanwonno, GLA; Two Holy Wells, CMN/MGY Dear Listers, This week's Retrospectives, just uploaded onto my website, are: 1. The remotely situated St Gwynno's Church in the parish of Llanwonno in the county of Glamorgan (nine pictures). This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in February 1999. 2. Two holy wells situated at Llansteffan in the county of Carmarthenshire, and Llanfyllin in the county of Montgomeryshire (six pictures). This feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in March 1998. As usual, these webpages will be displayed on my website for one week. 'Retrospective Images of Wales' is at www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/retro/retro.htm After viewing the Retrospectives, please explore my 'Webpage Archive' and make your own Retrospective requests.

Hello List I am seeking information on the Thomas and Evans families of Llanstadwell. On the 1871 census for Llanstadwell we have John Thomas age 59 a retired Cooper and his wife Elizabeth wife age 32 Thomas Thomas son age12 George Thomas son age 18 months None of the above give place of Birth On the 1881 John Evans age 41 Labourer in Dockyard born Llanstadwell Elizabeth Evans Wife age 42 born Camrose George Thomas Son age 10 born Llanstadwell Caeser J Evans Son age 5 born Llanstadwell Mary Louisa Evans age 3 born Llanstadwell Benjamin W Evans son age 11 months I believe that Elizabeth the Wife in both of the above families is the same Elizabeth . Who is Elizabeth ? Does anyone have information on these two Families. Bob

Bob, Parish Chest(B-G) have kindly forwarded your email in which you ask me about the status of Elizabeth Thomas at the birth of her son George prior to her mrge to John Evans and the birth of Casear J. Evans. I presume this has something to do with a previous posting on the Digest, therefore have answered here in case it helps others to assist your research. I believe the 1871 census answers your query in full and perhaps asks another question ; 1871 Census Waterston Llanstadwell John Thomas H M 59 (word u/r) Cooper Pembrokeshire Elizabeth Thomas W M 32 – Pembrokeshire Thomas Thomas S U 12 – Pembrokeshire George Thomas S U 18months – Pembrokeshire In fact in my view there are grounds of age to suggest that Elizabeth had been married previous to her mrge to John Thomas. I note the deaths ; John Thomas Pembroke Reg Dist 3rd Qtr 1874 aged 61 John Thomas Pembroke Reg Dist 3rd Qtr 1874 aged 63 There are only 3 mrge’s that equate to your requirements between 1871 and 1876, 2 in Carmarthen and 1 in Pembroke Registration District, that of 3rd Qtr of 1875 John Evans to Elizabeth Thomas. Purchase of their mrge certificate will also confirm Elizabeth as single or widow. I believe John Evans is the son of Benjamin and Mary Evans of Llanstadwell. I am away Tuesday for a few days, researching the Oriel surname in Paris and doing Pembrokeshire Military Research in Northern France. I trust the above is of some assistance or helps others to assist your research. Rgds Owen V. ORIEL a welsh window on a surname 2009: A year in review - http://www.tiscali.co.uk/2009

I don't know who was interested in this Surname? But I did a good deal of Research in to the ELLIOTT family of Cardiff about 25 years ago,for a Lady living in Watford. The Head of this Family being Thomas ELLIOTT the "Soda Water Manufacturer"of Bute Street,Cardiff Docks. Amongst his many connections were the CADLE Family of Tobacconists. There is a Picture of One of these Tobacco Shops depicted in the "Cardiff Yesterday"Series of 34 volumes.This Branch of his Many Shops in Cardiff,was situated at the Bottom end of Bute Street/James Street. HTH;Happy New Year to all. Graham. -- Graham Williams.of Canton,Cardiff. Chairman,"Canton Historical Society". Glam;FHS;#551.

There was a well known Cardiff tobacconist - Percy Cadle. I think his shop was the one on the corner of St Mary Street & Wood Street. It had a life-size "model" of a brown bear in the entrance which always fascinated me when I was a child. I know nothing about the Cadle family though.

Dear Yvonne and listers, In the St. David's Probate index there is a Will listed for Thomas Noott of Steynton proved in 1605....I haven't looked it up on The National Library of Wales site, but those interested may care to do so. Francis Noote was of Capeston, Walwyn's Castle in 1608 according to Major Jones. Steynton and Walwyn's Castle are next to one another, so there could well be a connection between Thomas and Francis. The name spelling difference could be attributable to different scribes.

If they did come from the Netherlands perhaps they were part of the early settlers in Pembrokeshire when the Netherlands were flooded in the 2th./13th. century.  Vera

Hi Michael and other listers, I have just gone into Rootsweb World Connect Project. I was fascinated to see that it contained names of Noots from the Netherlands interspersed with Pembrokeshire Noots, and this happened on every page. I therefore feel that there is quite a strong basis that the Noots originated in the Netherlands. Gerry Lewis(lister) has informed us that the earliest Noot in Pembs is Francis Noote of Walwyns Castle 1608. This is another mystery as Francis is not a Dutch Christian name! and also what would have made these Noots from Netherlands settle in Pembs!? Maybe the Noots who are not listers may have heard a family tale of the origin of the name? Best wishes Yvonne Evans

Reaney doesn't give NOOTT and, whilst I'd go along with other suggestions, the fact that this name seems not to occur earlier than about the 19th century, leads me to veer slightly towards an original entry of NOOTT for NOTT, especially in view of the double "tt".

Hello List I am seeking an Essex Thomas born abt 1892-3 to George Thomas and Martha, I believe the family came from Neyland,Pem. I understand that Essex was later in life a Pit Pony Vet in Glamorgan. Any information on this family will be welcomed Bob

Mike The National Trust/spatial literacy site shows almost all occurrences of NOOT for the 1881 census were in Pembrokeshire, with just a few in London, Plymouth and Sheffield. http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/Map.aspx?name=NOOT&year=1881&altyear=1998&country=GB&type=name David Canberra

Dear All Just out of interest, a bit of an internet search locates this site which describes two possible "British" origins for the name Noot, either from the Old Norse or of topographical origin for "a dweller on the hillock": http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?name=Noot It seems there are even Scottish McNoots! (ancestry.com). Noott with a double "t" seems to be spread throughout England with a relatively large number also in Wales. Looking more widely Noot with a single "t" is certainly a Dutch family name found in a number of ex Dutch colonies, Happy New Year, Bonne Année, Blwyddyn Newydd Dda, Megan Phelps Sydney, Australia On 30/12/2009, at 2:08 AM, Gerry Lewis wrote: > On 29/12/09 11:53, "Michael Ward" <fore.ward@virgin.net> wrote: > >> Dear all > >> A family friend's mother has the surname NOOTT. > >> We have traced relatives/ descendants in the Haverfordwest area but >> cannot >> find any information about the derivation of the name...has anyone >> any >> information on this or could point me in the general direction of >> where to >> look please. > >> Best wishes >> >> Mike Ward > > Hello Mike > > If the surname is confined to south Pembrokeshire, it possibly has a > Flemish > connection - perhaps it was originally NUYT.
