Hello to everyone I went along to the Gwent FHS Open Day yesterday, at County Hall, Cwmbran, I took my mother along for company, we had a great time there! Everyone was very helpful and friendly. We had a tour of the newly refurbished RO. The difference is amazing. Can't wait to do some research there! (When I can get the time, that is!). I would like to thank the person I spoke to, from the Hereford FHS, regarding finding proof of the connection of Charles Gwillim and my GGGrandfather William Gwilliam. (Some of you may know from my earlier postings of this). Also to Carol O'Niel, who was also there. We had a bit of a chat, and I am now waiting to hear from her, also about the Gwilliam research. I am also researching:- Bright (St Giles in the Wood, Devon, 1830's) - Birkin (Streatham 1800-1830) - Daniel (Mary Ann-Trevethin?, 1840's) - Friend ( Possibly Streatham, 1840-1846) - Keeping (Possibly Sarah? again in Streatham) - Griffiths (Mary, born in Llangattock Carmarthen 1849/50 and married William Gwilliam)- Thomas (James, married Mary ann Daniel). So if anyone of you know of these, I would love to hear from you. Kind regards Hazel http://gizzmowales.tripod.com/
