Western Mail Saturday April 17th 1926. This was ommitted from Friday 16th. Richard Garfield HANBURY, a spare-time agent in the employ of the Hearts of Oak Company, was charged at Port Talbot on Thursday with the embezzlement of two sums of 12s.8d. and 14s.9d. respectively, and further with forgery of a document. Mr. Rupert LEWIS (Swansea) prosecuted, and Mr. Trevor PARKER (Port Talbot) defended. Mr. Rupert LEWIS said defendant was employed to collect premiums in his area and account for them to the district manager at Swansea. It was also his duty to pay in fire-claims paid to him and authorised for payment by the Swansea manager, the money being deducted from premiums collected. The two charges referred to premiums paid to defendant and not accounted for. Richard PRICE, Eagle-street, Port Talbot, said he had a fire insurance policy with the Hearts of Oak Insurance Company, and claimed 30s. for a small fire, but he had not been paid, and the receipt produced did not bear his signature. Charles NORVICK, Cwmavon-road, said he paid the accused 12s.8d. for plateglass insurance, and Charles BARRETT, Gwendoline-street, spoke to paying 14s.9d. fire insurance policy.

Hi list, Hoping someone can help me with a marriage of John JONES to Sarah REES from the Swansea area. I'm really not certain on any other information apart from them having a son David JONES born around 1864 Swansea Glamorgan South Wales. Many thanks. Regards Karen.

Western Mail Friday April 16th 1926. Exceptional interest was taken in an inquest conducted by Mr. W.R. DAUNCEY at Tredegar on Thursday on Gwendoline Maud BURR 12, who died on Monday following injuries received when a central wooden pillar of a giant's stride in the playground of the local park collapsed. The coroner was assisted by a jury. Mr. J. Trevelyan PHILLIPS (clerk to the council) represented that authority. Dr. E.T.H. DAVIES said the child was dead when admitted to the hospital. There was a scalp wound behind the ear. The post-mortem examination showed a fracture of two ribs, which had penertrated the lung, and a partial dislocation of the neck, but there was no fracture of the skull. Death was due to shock following the injuries. Margaret DAVIES 13, said she went with Gwendoline BURR and had a swing with two other girls on the stride. Some boys came down and asked for a swing, and witness got off. The boys started to swing, and the post began to rock. She told them it was rocking, and two of the boys gave the swings back to the girls, but the other two remained on. Witness and they kept on swinging. She then heard the posts cracking and let her chain go, "and so did Gwennie." They ran away from it in different directions, but as she ran Gwennie stumbled on a stone and fell, and the post came down on top of her. The post had been rocking for a long time past. In reply to Mr. PHILLIPS, witness said she thought the post was shaking a little last year. Answering the foreman, she said Gwennie was struck by the ring on the top of the post. Charles BLAKE, park superintendent, said the post had snapped level with the concrete. He examined it three weeks ago and reported to the council that something should be done to steady it, as there was a quarter-of-an-inch play between the post and the concrete base. He did not report from the point of view of danger, as the wood was apparently sound and about 15in. thick. The Coroner: Didn't you know that the greater portion of the post has absolutely rotted and crumbles away when you put a knife into its soft spongy wood? Do you know that it is a rotten piece of wood? -Witness: Yes, now. Witness said the post, which was of elm, was erected in 1916. He should prefer oak for the purpose. James BARSON, the park-keeper, said there was rot visible on the outside of the post, but he did not think at the time that it was more than bark rot. He himself went on it to test it on April 2nd. Summing up, the Coroner said the council was not bound to erect the apparatus, but having erected it it had a duty to keep in good condition. It was common knowledge that big boys used it, and this increased the responsibility of the council. The examination made by the park officers were nothing more nor less than a farce. The dry rot could be seen by looking at it. In his opinion BLAKE and BARSON had greatly failed in their duty. They should have seen the rot and reported it sothat a complete test could be made. The jury in returning a verdict of "Death by misadventure" said that with regard to BLAKE and BARSON that they thought there was some negligence. They also thought after the matter had been reported and the council had instructed the surveyor to make an inquiry and report there was some negligence on the part of the surveyor; there was no report, as the matter had gone by a month. They expressed sympathy with the relatives. Replying to the coroner, Mr. PHILLIPS (clerk to the council) said that due notice would be taken of the remarks made. Lloyd COPPEN 50, a Cwm collier, was summoned at Ebbw Vale on Thursday for assaulting Mrs. Caroline GRIFFITHS, whose eyesight is impaired and who had to be led into court by her husband. COPPEN denied the offence. Mrs. GRIFFITHS said that the man struck her and she fell to the ground. He kicked her, and then threw two stones at her, one of which hurt her leg very badly. COPPEN'S daughter married her son, but after three weeks they separated. Defendant came to her house to thrash her son, and because she told him to get out he struck her. A witness stated that prosecutor's son had a poker and COPPEN had a stone. They agreed to drop the "weapons," and a struggle on the ground started immediately afterwards. COPPEN told the bench that there was a discussion about the difficulties between the two young people. When they were outside the son struck him suddenly on the jaw. He fell to the ground, and was then gripped by the throat, but wriggled free. The father and mother joined in the struggle. The Bench dismissed the case. An assistant at Messrs. FANBURY'S costumiers, Queen-street, Cardiff, Miss Jessie JAMES, of Moy-road, Roath, Cardiff, had a lucky escape from serious injury during the lunch hour on Thursday. It is believed that the assistant who was out on the roof, being unable to open a door to return , attempted to get through a window when she slipped and fell backwards through a fanlight into the shop. She must have fallen at least eighteen feet and crashed to the floor with terrific force. She was attended by a nurse, but it is stated that she was not seriously injured. Finding the gate open William John CRAXFORD (2 years), son of a Panteg steelworker, wandered off to  a duck pond which his father had often taken him to see the birds, and was drowned in ten inches of water. Mrs. Elizabeth JONES, the child's grandmother, giving evidence at the inquest on Thursday, described how she missed him from the garden. The duck pond was 250 yards away. The Coroner (Mr. D.J. TREASURE): I don't want to blame you, but I do think you should have exercised a little more care and kept the garden gate closed. A verdict of "Accidental death" was recorded. John Patrick

Western Mail Friday April 16th 1926. For having diverted electricity from a meter by means of a wire, William MATHURST 45, crane driver, of Ebbw Vale, was fined 40s. at the local court on Thursday. Judge Hill Kelly, at the Cardiff County-court on Thursday, took a serious view of a claim for compensation that was made by a Cardiff dock-worker, which he described as "dishonest." The plaintiff in the action was Harry HUDSON, of Sandon-place, Cardiff, who sued the Cardiff Channel Dry Dock Company (Limited) under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Mr. T.W. LANGMAN (instructed by Messrs. Vaughan and Roche, Cardiff) was for the respondents. Plaintiff said that he slipped while at work and injured his hand, and to corroborate his story he called another workman, whose bland admissioins caused no little amazement and amusement. The witness, cross-examined, denied that HUDSON cut himself in climbing over a fence, and added that it was a common occurrence for them as workmen to go out through a gate and have a walk. In giving judgment for respondents, his Honour said he was satisfied that the applicant met the accident in climbing over a fence and it was a very serious matter for him to have made a claim of this kind. It was a case of deliberate dishonesty, involving the applicant and a witness going into the box and committing wilful perjury. He (the judge) would consider whether he ought to lay the papers before the Director of Public Prosecutions. On the photograph page on (11).

Hi Marion I think you need to find out which Glebe St you want! My lot were in Glebe St Newport and although I live somewhere else now, I am in Newport just now and will try to remember to check tomorrow to see if 22 still exists. That end of the street was demolished in the 1960s when they were building the George St Bridge over the Usk, and one of my Glebe St families had to move out, the ones up the other end in number 4 were OK. Offhand, I can't remember exactly which numbers had to go..... Joss

LOL spelling :-) now you need the marriage certificate to get the couple's parents and the occupations before census searches Hugh W On 27 Oct 2009, at 18:16, john tyner wrote: > hi venetia, hugh and list, > i believe i may have found the marriage, correct me if im wrong, > George Stevens married Hannah E Carruthers in September quarter > 1912 registered in Pontypridd 11a 1013 > they had 2 children > 1.

The only Delbert Jones on FreeBMD is registered born Q4 1909 Bedwellty RD Delbert Gerwyn Jones. He appears to have married Sylvia Thomas Q1 1940 Bedwellty RD. In view of his age at marriage, it's very possible Sylvia was a widow and her maiden name rather than "Thomas" will appear on any subsequent birth indexes. Obtaining the marriage cert. should clarify that.

Dear Marion There are Glebe Streets in Penarth AND Newport! What exactly are you looking for at No. 22? Cardiff is probably the best place to stay to visit either. Robert -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of 8185mmg Coming to Britian and want to visit 22 Glebe Street, Penarth or Newport...not sure which town is the correct one...could I be advised please. Looking at the map would the best place to arrive be Cardiff?

The evidence of Police-constable Griffith THOMAS was to the effect thsat the defendant, whose lorry did not carry a horn, came along, notwithstanding the fact that the witness who was on "point duty," had signalled for traffic in the opposite direction.
