Can someone local to the Dinas Powis area help me? I sent away for my great uncle's will to find that the sole heir was his son, listed as Frank Rogers Price of Stoneleigh, 50 Cardiff Road, Dinas Powis, Glamorgan Sales Representative. I have tried researching Stoneleigh in conjuction with Dinas Powis but have been unable to find anything of substance. This is the first lead that I have had for this branch of my family. Can someone advise me of what Stoneleigh may be? Much appreciated. Regards, Sarah Crellin, Denville, NJ USA

I'd previously ordered certificates from the GRO up until 2007, with extremely good results. I believe in all cases I had the ordered cert. withing a week of ordering. In February I ordered a birth cert. and was informed it would be 21 days before it would be dispatched. I had ordered a birth cert. for a William Jones born 7 June 1851, received one for a William Jones born 29 Dec. 1850. I'm still going back and forth trying to obtain the correct cert. The birth location for my William Jones was Merthyr. Is it possible to order from someplace in Glamorgan directly instead of going through the GRO?

" I thought you were a teetotaller."  (Laughter). The officer said " I have to do this in my duty," and I advised him to put it in a bottle so not to break his pledge. He, however, would not, and I lost nearly half a pint of my drink because of him."

WESTERN MAIL WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 8. 1926.  No. 303. POLICE VISIT TO STORE-Alleged Find Of Sacks of Stolen Lead. Jacob KROMSKY (39), a Swansea marine store dealer, pleaded not guilty before Mr. Commissioner Hugh JONES K.C., to stealing and receiving a quantity of lead, the property of the Ocean Dry Dock Company (Limited) and the Great Western Railway Company. Mr. Verity PRICE (instructed by Mr. Ruert LEWIS) prosecuted, and Mr. Walter SAMUEL (instructed by Mr. J. H. BENJAMIN) defended.   Mr. Verity PRICE said that the business, which was conducted at the Strand, Swansea, was the property of KROMSKY'S wife, and the defendant was in active control. Lead had been stolen, and the police gave KROMSKY and his foreman a very full description of the missing property.    On September 18 his premises were searched by the police, but the lead was not found. On October 11 the police again called at the premises, and found two entries in the book relating to lead. Twenty sacks of lead were found on the premises, and the police found that there was scrap at the top, and at the bottom was the lead which the prosecution alleged was the stolen property.   The Commissioner indicated during the hearing of evidence that the court need not trouble itself with anything except the charge of receiving.    Evidence was given by Detectives GARDGE and WRIGHT.   For the defence, Mr. Walker SAMUEL submitted that there was no evidence in law to the effect that this stuff was ever in KROMSKY'S possession. The person who owned and carried on the business was Mrs. KROMSKY.   The Commissioner, however, decided that the case must go to the jury.   KROMSKY said he originally owned the business himself, but sold it to a man named B. L. LEWIS, who, two years later, sold it to his (defendant's wife). During his wife's ownership he had managed the business, but did no buying. If stolen lead had come in, and he knew it had been stolen, there would have been nothing to prevent him melting it down to destroy its identity.   The Court adjourned until this (Wednesday) morning. PENARTH DIVORCE SUIT-Insurance Broker Finds Letter To Wife.   Mr. William Robert HENDERSON, an insurance broker, of Westbourne-road. Penarth, was granted a decree nisi with custody of the child by Mr. Justice BATESON in the Divorce Division on Tuesday. The petition was on the ground of the misconduct of his wife , Dorothy May, with Mr. Pryce JONES.   The suit was undefended.    Petitioner said that he was married to his wife at Llanishen on October 18, 1913, and for some time they lived at Pembroke House, Clifton. He interceped a letter to his wife.    The hall-porter of the Grand Spa Hotel, Clifton, gave evidence that the respondent and the co-respondent stayed at the hotel on two occaisions. PENYGRAIG DOCTOR'S CAR IN TRADGEDY.    "Accidental death" was the verdict returned by Mr. R. J. REES, coroner, at an inquiry at Trealaw on Tuesday on Trevor BROOKS (3) son of Mr. E. BROOKS, 287, Brithweunydd-road, Trealaw, who was knocked down by the car of Dr. H. D. LLEWELLYN, Penygraig. The evidence indicated that the boy ran across the road in front of the car which was travelling at about ten miles an hour. SWANSEA DRIVER'S LICENCE SUSPENDED. Thomas Edward BOWEN, a taxi-driver, was fined 40s. at Swansea Police-court on Tuesday and his licence was suspended for a month for dangerous driving on the Mumbles-road on the night of November 10 last when three motor-cars were in collisision near the Westcross Hotel. ILLEGAL COUPONS-Cardiff Printers Fined £10 Each.   Four printers of ready-money football betting coupons were fined £10 each at Cardiff on Tuesday.    The prosecutions were instituted as the result of police raids on Cardiff commission agents on October 18.   The defendants were Herbert Steele WAKEFORD, carrying on business as C. WAKEFORD and Sons at East Canal Wharf; William E. JONES, 1 Clive-road, Cardiff; Alec WARD, 119, Queen-street; and Cardiff Printers (Limited) 142, City-road.    Mr. O. Temple MORRIS appeared for WAKEFORD and Cardiff Printers (on instructions from Messrs. MacINTOSH, THOMAS, and Co. and Messrs. James MORGAN and Co. respectively), Mr. B. W. P. MORGAN appeared for WARD (who it was stated, printed the coupons for his own use), and Mr. J. Lewis WALTERS for JONES.    The defence in each case was that the coupons were printed after an assurance had been given that they would be used for credit purposes only.   Mr. O. Temple MORRIS and Mr. Lewis WALTERS asked that the financial loss which would be suffered by the defendants WAKEFORD, JONES, and Cardiff Printers should be taken into consideration.    The Stipendiary (Mr. St. John FRANCIS-WILLIAMS) said this was rather daring. It meant that because the defendants would no longer be able to carry on illegal business he was asked to reduce the penalty. DAIRYMAN'S CLAIM FAILS.   William SCHOFIELD, a dairyman, of Stumpy Lodge, sued Wilfred REYNOLDS, of Station House, Argoed, in the same court for £16, damages to a milk float and horse.   Mr. E. T. EDMUNDS, for complainant, said that defendant, in taking a bend on the Colcot-Port-road on his motor-cycle , shot over to his wrong side and crashed into a milk float.   In the collision the pillon rider, a young Blackwood woman named CHIVERS, was killed.   His Honour, dismissing the claim for damages, said he was not satisfied that defendant had been driving negligently. John Patrick.

Hi Lynne Yes, the Latter Day Saints were included in the 1851 Religious Census. The book I'm currently extracting from is the South Wales volume - it does have a summary of denominations by Registration District. The RDs that have entries for LDS churches are; Abergavenny 4 Newport 2 Cardiff 1 Merthyr Tydfil 7 Neath 3 Swansea 1 Llanelly 1 Llandilofawr 1 Carmarthen 1 Haverfordwest 1 Newcastle Emlyn 1 Lampeter 1 Hay 1 Total 25 in south Wales In the summaries, all churches /chapels are shown under a heading of 'Protestant Churches', apart from Roman Catholics, Latter Day Saints and Jews who are shown under 'Other Christian Chs.' Volume 2 of the book covers north Wales, and the split is based on how the 1851 census itself dealt with classifying 'divisions'. So, the north Wales Division is MGY and above. The book's full title is; "The Religious census of 1851 : A Calendar of the returns relating to Wales, Vol 1, South Wales. Ed. by I.G Jones, & D. Williams. UWP, Cardiff, 1976.

I noticed this on the RCAHMW website and thought it could be of interest to some readers. Monday, 11 April 2011 Can You Help The Royal Commission To Record The Current Status Of Your Local Chapel? Updating the Royal Commission's Chapels database The Royal Commission has been at the forefront in recognising the cultural, social and architectural importance of Nonconformist chapels in Wales. The Welsh chapel is one of the most distinctive and iconic building types in Wales, contributing heavily to both our urban and rural landscapes. Through collaboration with volunteers and the Chapels Heritage Society, and information received from the nonconformist denominational bodies, the Commission over the last few months has collected data on the current status of nearly 3000 Welsh chapels, but information is still required on the remaining 3,600 chapels. Can you help the Royal Commission to record the current status of your local chapel? Work on recording the current status of Welsh chapels will be ongoing until early autumn 2011. To help with the project, please take a look at the lists below ordered by county and community. These are the chapels for which we currently have no up to date information regarding their status. If you have any information or would like to help with the project please contact Susan Fielding at susan.fielding@rcahmw.gov.uk or RCAHMW, Crown Building, Plascrug, Aberystwyth, SY23 1NJ.

Dear Listers, For the past twelve years, at about this time each week, I announced the Retrospectives that I'd just uploaded onto my website. Well, folks - the Retrospectives are no more! But as you'll see below, 'Images of Wales' is very much alive. I have just finished transferring my website to its new location: http://www.jlb2011.co.uk/ Selecting 'Images of Wales' provides you with two options: 1. Webpage Archive 2. Welsh Churches and Chapels Collection The 'Welsh Churches and Chapels Collection' is identical to the one featured on my old website, but it will increase in size at a faster pace. The 'Webpage Archive' is a completely new feature, allowing you direct access to over 200 archived 'Images of Wales' webpages, the same webpages that were previously only available two at a time on request as 'Retrospectives'. You'll find my new website looks and feels very much like the old one. A few of the old features have gone (e.g. the 'FAQs' and the 'Online Links'), and databases such as the 'Welsh Ancestor List' and the 'Sounds of Wales' are frozen - they will no longer be updated. This will allow me more time to expand the 'Images of Wales' section of my website. For the next few weeks, if you go to my old website, you'll be immediately redirected to the new one. Once this transitional period is over, the old website will disappear completely. Finally, as part of the change, I am now using a new e-mail address: john@jlb2011.co.uk Please use this address whenever possible. My old address will remain active for a while - at least until June - but I shall be giving increasing priority to my new e-mail account. The new e-mail and web addresses will appear under my signature at the bottom of my e-mails.

Hi, Seeking any information on Thamas WATKIN born 1783 baptised Cadoxton juxta Neath and Mary DAVIES born 1784 in Ystradgynlais, they were married at Ystradgynlais St Cynog Church in 1809. Looking for any information on the family and parents of Mary, I alrready have her children with Thomas WATKIN. All info appreciated. Thanks John Jones

Thank you to Jill and Jeff for pointing out that there is unlikely to be, and isn't in this case, any father's name on marriage entries at this time (1802). William Ellery was born in St Minver, Cornwall, at a calculated date of 1778. There is a baptism in this year of William, son of Samuel Ellery and Elizabeth [Carhart] and no other Williams baptised at around this time. There is a very helpful Online Parish Clerk for St Minver with a database of around 16,000 descendants of villagers, but another researcher has already "claimed" William, son of Samuel and Elizabeth, as an ancestor. The OPC is currently trying to backtrack over what has happened here but I thought a shortcut would be to establish the name of William's father. I now know this isn't possible. I'm very grateful to Jill and Jeff for setting me right on this. Sheila
