Good Morning, When I recorded here, the names of nearly 200 people who's photographs appeared in the Roath Road Roamer, I couldn't list the letters printed, nearly everyone wrote, some more often than others. One such letter caught my eye this week, a soldier writing from Mesopotamia shortly before he died, "I would give everything I own, fourpence, for a lemonade with ice", yes, such mundane subjects, but in life and death situations. This set of 57 magazines should be more accessible than they are at present. I only have about half of them. Anything that promotes an understanding of the lives of our past kin is always welcome, the spaces between the BDM's, are there to be filled. RR

Hi Listers, Does anyone happen to know where Tyla nant, Cadoxton Juxta Neath was please? Many thanks for any information. My best wishes, Jill

I have just discovered, if my findings are correct though pretty certain that they are, that not only do I have a John James JONES who married a Mary JONES, they at one time of Merthyr Tydfil, and a John JONES of Cadoxton Juxta Neath. I have just found his brother Jenkin JONES who married another JONES - being Elizabeth JONES both of Cadoxton juxta Neath. Oh bother the Jones! Sorting them out is truly hard as, as usual they named their children the same given names, in true Welsh fashion. It is Jenkin who in 1841 census was living with Elizabeth at Pencriag yr afon, Cadoxton Juxta Neath, and who was at Tyla Nant, Cadoxton Juxta Neath, Neath Higher 1851 census that I enquired about earlier. By 1861 they had upped sticks again and lived at Plas y nant, Cadoxton Juxta Neath. My best wishes, Jill Glamorgan Mailing List's website http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glamorgan/
