Dart of 79 Gaer Park Drive, Newport. Does anybody know anything about this lady? The point I was making was that the lady in question described herself as my Grandfather's Sister in Law not that she was! If it helps my Grandfather was Frederick William Salmon Wright born in Northampton in 1879, move to Cardiff in 1909 to take up a position at Whitchurch Mental Hospital. As far as I can make out there is no evidence whatsoever of him having a relation of that name but I might be wrong.

About half- past 10 on the previous Saturday evening the prisoner came into the house and asked for a glass of beer. As he was rather the worse for liquor already she refused to give him any.

Martin, I cannot open the sites to look at the photos...my Dad would have worked at one of these mines after he got married in 1990 and he and Mum lived at No.4 Lancaster Villas? Six Bells, Abertillery., until they came to Australia in 1922 after my eldest brother Tommy was born. I have seen the photo of the house they lived in but sadly lost this when my computer crashed 3 years ago. If anyone on this list has Photos of these little houses, all connectedtogether, I would love a photo which will be saved to a disc this time! Other than that , can someone show me how to open the photos of the mine/s?

Thanks for that, Pamela. What I particularly need is information as to what became of Annie and her brother, David after 1901. I think I have the right connection for Annie in the USA incoming passenger details and the family in Gwyn Street but what I suppose I really need is to find descendants who can confirm this an d hopefully tell me more.

I was very interested in Sally's comments about miners' rights, as my grandfather David MORGAN (1865-1927) from Brecon worked all his life as a miner in the New Tredegar/Elliotts Town area. I have no idea which mine, but the family story was that he had an accident and 'broke his back'. Not certain when but they referred to somewhere between 1914 and 1927. I have seen a photo of him in a wheel chair, but I don't know if the description of his condition was accurate. Anyhow, the accident happened on a Tuesday and therefore he was only paid until Tuesday.

Hello Dianne, I did make some enquiries for you of a cousin whose sister was married to a Gould, now both deceased, but we realized in chatting that this was not the same family, although the family was of the area. I wonder if you could send this message to the Glamorgan FHS Facebook page? It may help. My best wishes, Jill Glamorgan Mailing List's website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glamorgan/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Me Thomas Sent: 25 September 2013 15:32 To: [email protected] Subject: [GLA] Gould family bible I hope it's OK to post this. I have a Welsh bible belonging to the Gould family of Tonypandy. It's original owner was William Lewis Gould of Pentyrch, born 1869. He married Lizzie Hannah, born in Merthyr in 1872. I have a feeling the family has died out, but I know they lived in Tonypandy in Glen View Street, where my great aunt's husband (their son) was born in 1906. Other children were William George, Lizzie Mary, Blodwen, Margaret Louisa. I have advertised in various places before but never been able to find a family member. I am shortly to move house and will have less space, so things have to go. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family, please, or any suggestions as to an organisation that would like the bible? It is not in good condition and has not monetary value, I'm sure. Any info very gratefully received. Many thanks. Dianne --
