If you are able to visit a family history open day there may well be one or more exhibitors there who offer pre-printed charts, or to print you a chart from your data. You will find some of them if you do an online search for 'family tree printers'. A date for your diary might be the Glamorgan FHS Family History Fair at Merthyr Tydfil Leisure Centre on 13th October 2012, 10am to 4pm Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "R Davies" <davies_r11@sky.com> To: <Monmouthshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 12:15 AM Subject: [MON] Family Tree Charts > Good evening, > Is there anywhere I can purchase A3 size,preprinted > family tree charts? > I have just watched "Coming Home" with Gabby Yorath on Yesterday > channel.and > noticed that when the professional researcher was showing Gabby her tree, > it was so neat... > so different to my free hand attempts.

Roy, Reunion and Ancestry and others will set up a tree which can easily be printed-the only problem is the size! If you have a large one like 7 or 8 generations or more, it might be simpler to have it done by a firm which specialises. The price seems fairly reasonable.

Hi Roy I suggest you get one of the many computer packages now available which can print out your data in a variety of formats Don't forget that TV is different to real life - the programme you watched probably employs a team of calligraphers ;-) Robert -----Original Message----- From: monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:monmouthshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of R Davies Sent: 05 May 2012 00:15 Is there anywhere I can purchase A3 size,preprinted family tree charts?

Of course,trees vary greatly in size,so is there a DIY kit?

Also, If you use a computer program to make your family tree - put it on a flash drive and take it to your local print shop - they have large format printers / plotters. They can print out sizes easily 3 feet wide by however long you need (depending on which "layout" you want) Larger sizes require the print job to be sent out but will be back in a few days.

THOMAS COOKSEY Parents: George Cooksey and Elizabeth (Nee Cripps). Where born: Sebastopol, Monmouthshire. Date baptised: October 1st, 1893, Panteg, Monmouthshire. Residences: 1893 - Sebastopol; 1901 - 24 Cross Street, Blaenavon; 1911 - 34 Marlborough Road, Six Bells, Abertillery. First duty overseas: September 10th, 1914. Medal entitlements: 1914 Star, British War Medal, and Victory Medal. CWGC Details: Private, 8739, Thomas Cooksey, 19th (Queen Alexandra's Own Royal) Hussars. Killed in Action on November 25th, 1917. War Memorial: Panel 1, Cambrai Memorial, Louverval, France. Inscription at Louverval: Louverval Memorial to the Missing "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND TO THE ENDURING MEMORY OF 7048 OFFICERS AND MEN OF THE FORCES OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE WHO FELL AT THE BATTLE OF CAMBRAI 20 NOVEMBER-3 DECEMBER 1917 BUT WHO HAVE NO KNOWN GRAVE THEIR NAMES ARE HERE RECORDED" The 9th Cavalry Brigade was formed April 14th, 1915, and the 1st Cavalry Division. Consisted of: 15th King's Hussars. 19th Royal (Queen Alexandra's Own) Hussars. 1/1st Bedfordshire Yeomanry. 8th (King's Royal Irish) Hussars. 9th Signal Troop Royal Engineers. 9th Cavalry Brigade Machine Gun Squadron. The first battle of Cambrai began on November 20th, 1917. Sir Douglas Haigh attempted to divert some of the German forces attacking Italian positions, who were suffering horrendous casualties and were in imminent danger of being over run. The resulting battle saw the introduction of the use of tanks, which were used to break through the barbed wire entanglements, allowing cavalry to charge through the gaps the tanks had made. There had been no preliminary artillery bombardment prior to the attack, and it was hoped this would give an element of surprise, allowing troops to overwhelm the German front line trenches. The attack opened at 6:20 a.m. on November 20th, 1917 in mist. The whole line of tanks swept forward, followed by the infantry, who had not had previous experience of working alongside tanks. The front of attack was 6 miles from Havrincourt to La Vacquerie. As the tanks advanced, 1,000 British guns suddenly opened fire and maintained a creeping barrage. When the Germans saw that the tanks were able to cross the Hindenburg trenches, many of them fled in panic, but at the villages there was severe fighting, due in some cases to the fact that the infantry had not been able to keep pace with the tanks. Havrincourt and Ribecourt were carried, but at Flesquieres many tanks were put out of action by field guns, and the German resistance was stubborn. At Marcoing an important bridge was captured by a tank before the Germans could destroy it; but at Masnieres, the bridge, vital for an enveloping advance against Cambrai, was so damaged that when a tank officer gallantly tried to cross it, it gave way slowly under him and finally collapsed; other tanks which arrived could not cross the Schelde Canal. Nonetheless, they enabled the infantry to force a passage, covering them with their fire. At nightfall the British had penetrated at points 10,000 yards, taking all three trenches of the Hindenburg line, and captured Graincourt, Marcoing, and Masnieres; they had isolated Flesquieres; tanks had also pushed into Bourlon Wood, but the infantry, from exhaustion, were unable to follow and support them. On November 21st, the battle was resumed with tired infantry, and tanks which had been through one great engagement already. Cantaing was taken, as also Fontaine-Notre-Dame, bringing the British close up to Cambrai on the west, but Fontaine-Notre-Dame was lost the next day to a furious German counter-attack. Nearly all Bourlon Wood was secured on November 23rd. German reserves were now arriving and efforts to take Bourlon village and to recover Fontaine-Notre-Dame failed, though they were renewed on November 25th, 26th, and 27th. The tank crews had been fought to a standstill, and the infantry were worn out. The position of Cambrai as a great railway junction enabled the Germans to bring up fresh troops from every direction. It was during the German counter attacks, that Private Thomas Cooksey was killed on November 25th, 1917. The defence they put up to try to halt the German charge resulted in very heavy casualties on both sides. The majority of those who died there were never found after the battle, as furious artillery bombardment from both sides reduced the area to a crater strewn no man's land. This information was compiled by Jon Nixey and Den Budden.

I am interested in the Cosslett family of poets who lived in Monmouthshire and Glamorgan in the 19th century (even though I don't have a direct family connection with them). There is a brief article about two of them, Coslett Coslett and his brother William Coslett in Welsh Biography Online. (The most common spelling of the name seems to be "Cosslett" but that is not the version used in Welsh Biography Online). http://wbo.llgc.org.uk/en/s1-COSL-COS-1834.html By chance I stumbled on a street called "Cosslett Row" in the Rock area of Bedwellty in the 1861 census. The reference is: RG9; Piece: 4006; Folio: 56; Page: 10 Actually Cosslett Row starts near the foot of page 9 and seems to go on to about page 14. I have not been able to find Cosslett Row in other censuses and searching for it in Google and Google Maps does not produce any relevant results. Where exactly in the Rock area was Cosslett Row, what is in that location today, and did it have any connection with the family of poets with that name? If anyone on this list can answer these questions or can suggest where I might be able to find answers, I would be grateful. Roy
