Hi all - new to this list. I'd forgotten how messy the digests are to read but it's still the best way for me to catch up. I am researching Pyle Street (and the roads that go/went off it) in Newport and am looking for any general information that might help. I have transcribed the censuses for the street back as far as 1871 and have just started on the 1861 list. I am also working my way through the trade directories. I am particularly interested in old photographs (even as recent as the late 20th century!) and any family _history _(rather than trees), anecdotes, memories, etc. The only family I have started to look at so far is the Read family who ran The Wheatsheaf in St Thomas' Square. Any information gratefully received. And if you think I might have any information that will be useful to you, please ask. P
