GEORGE MILLINGTON- Deputy Official Receiver, 34, Park-place, Cardiff. Lilian BIRD, at present residing with her parents at Porth, applied at Newport on Monday for a seperation order against her husband, Thomas BIRD, of 26, Lime-street, Newport. Mr. W. Pitt LEWIS, for applicant, stated that efforts had been made to bring about a reconciliation since the adjournment of the case three months ago. Defendant had a home for her, but applicant was not willing to return. Mr. F.H. DAUNCEY, for the defendant, said that the couple had been married only three or four years. The defence was that no real case of persistent cruelty (the ground for the application) had been made out. Letters had been written, but the couple had not met during the last three months. After retiring the Bench adjourned the case for another month, hoping that a better spirit would prevail. Burglars have again been busy in Newport. Visiting Claremont, Gold Tops, the residence of Mr. W.J. FOX, they cut the telephone wires to render the instrument useless, and afterwards ransacked the lower rooms of the house. They took a wallet containing a couple of Treasury notes and small articles of jewellery. They then entered Mrs. FOX'S bedroom and on waking her from her sleep departed in haste. Another case of burglary is also reported from the Talbot Inn, Newport, where £10 was taken. An echo of a Cardiff matrimonial case came before the magistrates on Monday afternoon. A young woman named Hannah PUGH applied for the legal custody of her two children, Audrey PUGH and William PUGH. Mr. Tom JOHN, who appeared for her, said that on January 22, 1924, a maintenance order was made against the defendant. In April of the present year defendant was granted a revocation of the order on the ground of the wife's misconduct. Defendant, who had gone to live at Coventry, took the little girl away from the custody of the mother and placed her in the care of a relative. The boy was in the Edward Nicholl Home. Defendant said he objected to the children being in custody of his wife, as she could not look after them. Mrs. PUGH said she had been in the workhouse recently. The Bench dismissed the wife's application. Mr. Owen EVANS, a Morriston tenor, has been engaged by Mr. F.E. FRANKS, as chief tenor of his touring company in "The Love Birds." Mr.W.J.

John Henry NICHOLAS, who lived in apartments with EDMUNDS, said that on Saturday he went into the coal-house, where he saw EDMUNDS lying on the coal with his throat cut. A razor was lying near his foot, and the blade was covered with blood. EDMUNDS had been complaining recently of pain from a wound in one of his legs, he having had a serious accident some years ago. Mrs. EDMUNDS said her husband had recently been suffering from sleeplessness. Dr. James DONALDSON, Abertridwr, said death was due to the wound in the throat, which could have been self-inflicted.

Western Mail Monday May 31st, 1926. A terrible motor smash occurred between midnight and one o'clock this morning at Caerwent, in which a Newport man was killed and the driver of the car so seriously injured that he is not expected to recover. The car was on hire from the garage of Mr. Arthur BURLEIGH, Shaftsesbury-street, and, with an another car, was bringing a party back to Newport from Chepstow. When passing through Caerwent, eleven miles from Newport, the car driven by a chauffeur named HENDY, of Portland-street, Newport, appears to have swerved and to have crashed into a stay supporting a telegraph post. The driver and the party of three in the car were thrown out on to the road as the car overturned, and one of the passengers, whose home is in Capel-crescent, Newport was killed instantly. HENDY received considerable injuries to head and both legs were broken. Inquest into the death of Mr. Arthur HENTON, solicitor, Bridgend was a lengthy one (I will give details of names involved). The coroner at Bridgend was Mr. David REES. Evidence of identification by Mr. John DAVIES, Graig House, Aberdare, who said Mr. HENTON was his brother-in-law, who had been ill-health. Mr. J. Thomas DAVIES, chief clerk to Mr. HENTON, said he had been in his employ for years and eight months. Mr. HENTON, was found with his throat cut. Dr. JEFFREY was sent for. Verdict of "Suicide during temporary insanity" was recorded. There was an alarming accident which resulted in the death of one man at Bracelet Bay, Mumbles, shortly after midnight on Saturday, when a heavy lorry with six or seven persons in it plunged over the edge of the road down the embankment on to the grass below. Screams and shouts of the frightened occupants speedily attracted attention, and Sergeant DAVIES, of the Mumbles police, was soon on the scene. He discovered that one of the occupants of the lorry, Arthur John EVANS (26), collier, of 1, Market-street, Morriston, was pinned underneath. The man was terribly injured and must have had died almost immediately. Other members of the party had escaped in a remarkable manner, at the expense of slight injuries and shock. All were taken to a Mumbles hotel for the night. No details are yet available of a motor accident that occurred at Singapore which resulted in the death on May 24 of Mr. Henry William KERNICK. Mr. KERNICK was the husband of Mrs. Constance KERNICK, who resides at Harbour House, Porthcawl, and who is a daughter of Mr. W.T. BEAVAN, J.P., coal factor, Cardiff, and a grandaughter of the late Alderman F.J. BEAVAN, J.P. The late Mr. KERNICK was an engineer, and after the war went out to Singapore to undertake engineering work.

JAMES, Port Talbot. When carrying newspapers in a car during the strike Robert DUNCAN, of Somerfield-place, Neath, was run into by another car, and his vehicle received damage estimates at £8 to £10. The result was that Percy Hopkin WILLIAMS, Cwmantgoch, Glamorgan, was charged at Llandilo on Saturday with driving his motor-car in a dangerous manner. Evidence was given that DUNCAN was returning from Llandilo towards Ammanford when the defendant dashed between his car and two pedestrians, swept one of the men aside, and struck DUNCAN'S car. He went on without stopping, but DUNCAN went after him, caught him up, took his number, and reported the matter to the police. He had to go at 40 miles an hour to catch defendant. Defendant was fined £6.1s.2d., including costs. William GRIFFITHS 47, a miner, of 77, Primrose-street, Tonypandy, was knocked down by a motor-car at Penllyn, Cowbridge, on Saturday, and sustained multiple injuries. He was removed to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary. While walking in Newport-road, Cardiff, on Saturday, Mrs. Elizabeth EVANS (57), of 32, Stacy-road, Cardiff, was knocked down by a motor-car, and later admitted to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary suffering with a fractured leg. Mr. D. PETERS, jun., of Tongwynlais, whilst riding his motor-cycle at Whitchurch in the direction of Cardiff, came into collision with a motor-van at the Library cross roads, and received a cut on the head.

A miraculous escape from death at the age of sixteen, and now an octogenarian! Mr. Charles PARROTT, of 87, Duckpool-road, Newport, declares that he was not born to be drowned and intends to complete his century. As a lad Mr. PARROTT, who, despite a singularly varied and strenuous life, carries his years lightly, was a member of the crew of a ship which encountered a terrible storm in mid-Atlantic. Huge waves were continually enveloping the vessel, and one of these struck him and carried him clean overboard. By a strange freak of the tempest, he was immediately washed on to the deck again, and, grasping a stanchion, was able to cheat death. On another occaision he fell into the dock between two vessels at Birkenhead, and when rescued was unconscious, but eventually revived. At the mature age of eight Mr. PARROTT became a page-boy at Beaufort, and it was not until afterwards, when he went to live in Newport that he attended school-the old St. Paul's School, where, incidentally, Mr. J.H. THOMAS, M.P., the late Councillor Edward DAVIES, J.P., the present Mayor of Newport, and the town-clerk of Southwark attended. On leaving school he was successfully an errand boy, seaman, and railwayman, working his way up to the position of stationmaster. Later he became a rate-collector under the Newport Corporation, a post he held for 33 years, and from which he retired about six years ago. (Did he make his century).

Hi List, I am revisiting my search for ancestor William Cornish who married at St Woollos, Newport on 13 July 1841. He was from Somerset originally, possibly around the Frome area, the son of Benjamin Cornish, labourer. He was widowed and of full age when he married Angeline Morgan, also full age, spinster, dau of John Morgan, labourer. In 1841, William was living at Corn St, St Woollos, Newport and aged 30. I cannot find Angeline before the marriage and have no trace of either of them afterwards. Any help or suggestions gratefully received. Tks Bev

List, I have two difficult surnames to trace but recently I noticed that BLACK is not a unusual name in Wales and of course I know that SMITH isn't either. So: Census 1850 John and Sarah BLACK and their two children, Mary L age 3 and Thomas age 1. Living with them was Michael D. SMITH age 15, place of birth Wales. They were living in Lower St. Clair, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. Maybe someone had a son, nephew, grandson who went to the U.S. during that time period. Hoping, as I have no idea who John BLACKs fathers given name was or the maiden name of his wife Sarah. Maybe it was SMITH??? The earlier census did not give family names just the head - then males and females counted but no names or relationship. So I have to somehow get John BLACKs fathers name and where he came from. Its almost a losing battle but I keep hoping. Alice California

Ernest Albert DUMAYNE, 26, Baily-street, Newport, who sustained a broken neck and a dislocated spine as the result of a motor accident eight months ago, and who is now recovered and restarts work next Thursday. (Photograph on page 3 along with the News Item). The Cardiff City Coroner (Dr.R.J. SMITH) condemned pillion riding as a very dangerous pastime, when returning a verdict of "Accidental death" on Friday in the case of Phillip Edward RAFFERTY 28, a railway fireman, of Havelock-street, Cardiff, who died after an accident in Lansdowne-road, on the night of May 8. The coroner added:"Had RAFFERTY been riding solo, I think he might have been able to recover himself. When a person with a pillion rider gets into difficulties and tries to recover himself, he is often in a hopeless position." Wilfred JONES, a bricklayer, said he saw a motor-cycle, with a girl on the pillion, driving at a very fast rate along Lansdowne-road. The machine ran into rough part of the roadway, and the rider apparently lost control. He seemed to recover himself and went out to the middle of the road where, however, the back wheel skidded in a pool. The rider fell forward with the machine across his legs, whilst the girl was thrown over him and lay a few yards ahead. Both were unconscious. The girl who was riding on the pillion, Lilian Mary HILL, of Court-road, Grangetown, a domestic servant, gave evidence, and the coroner said to her: "You yourself might have been killed. I hope this will be a lesson for you." Dr. H.M. THOMAS, of the Infirmary staff, said that RAFFERTY remained in an unconscious state until May 13, when death took place. The primary cause of death was laceration of the brain. GAZETTE NOTICES.-Receiving Orders in Bankruptcy. Ellwood Charles PARKER, of Green-lane Farm, Sealand, near Chester, farmer. (court Chester).

Is there by any chance somewhere I could find this out?? Alfred died 27th Sept 1892. At the time he was living at 109 Worcester Street, Brynmaw, Llanelly.

Western Mail Saturday May 29th 1926. Wendon HARRIS, an attendant at Angelton Asylum, was riding a pedal bicycle along Dunraven-place, Bridgend, when he came into collision with a motor-car driven by William ROONE, of Westfield-street, Cardiff. He was thrown through the windscreen, and sustained terrible injuries, the most serious being one on the back of his neck. He was immediately conveyed by Mr. ROONE to Bridgend Cottage Hospital, where he lies in a serious condition. Richard JONES, 38, a ship's fireman, who was knocked down by a motor-car on the Penarth-road at Grangetown, Cardiff, died at the Cardiff Royal Infirmary on Friday morning. On completion of twenty-five years' service in Holy Orders, the Rev. E.R. DAVIES, B.A.., Vicar of Cythfarthfa (Merthyr) has been presented by his parishioners with a set of stoles. The presentation was made by the Lord Bishop of Llandaff. William BARTLE, pattern maker, Port Skewett, and Phillip WILLIAMS, farmer Undy, have been elected to fill casual vacancies on Chepstow Rural District Council. BARRY CHILD NEGLECT. Surprising evidence was given at the Barry Police-court on Friday, when Johanna BREWERTON/BREWERTEN.? a middle-aged Barry Dock woman was charged on remmand from Penarth with cruelty to her six children. Defendant, a smartly dressed woman, at times became highly excited and frequently interupted with long protests. Mr. J.B. Price HUGHES (Messrs. J.A. HUGHES and Co., solicitors, Barry) prosecuted. Mr. HUGHES said the children were found in the house alone, there was not a grain of food in the cupboard, and the children were said to have existed on the charity of neighbours. "The mother is away from morning till late at night," continued Mr. HUGHES. Regarding clothing at the time of police visits, each child was sparsely clad, the boys having no shirt. Two of them had no footwear, rags and sacking being tied around their feet. Each bed was in a horrible state, and vermin overran the walls and floor. Defendant had no ground to plead lack of means, for her husband, a boatswain regularly sent her £2.10s. each week, whilst her eldest son, who was also working, paid her 10s. weekly. Inspector L. KEMPSTER, of the R.S.P.C.C., then gave evidence. Replying to the clerk (Mr.J.W. MORRIS) witness admitted that each child was fairly nourished. They had been fed by neighbours and had been seen picking scraps of refuse from boxes in a lane at the rear of the house. Mrs. Mary FRANCIS, a tenant of other rooms in the house, stated that defendant had been at home at night only once during the last three months. Witness herself had frequently fed and clothed the children. Mrs. Grace AVIENT was called by defendant to give evidence, and said: "When I visited the house last week I found everything quite clean and in order." Inspector Frank EVANS proved two previous convictions at Swansea and one of cruelty to her children at Swansea in 1920, when she received three months' imprisonment. Mr. T.H. MORDEY (presiding) said the magistrates considered the case an extremely bad one, and in spite of repeated warnings defendant had not deviated from her deplorable ways. She would be sent to jail for three months' hard labour. The following are people holding office in the Welsh Areas covered by Western Mail at the time. JOHN J.
