HI to all Listers I don't think the last e.mail went through - but if it did please accept my apologies. I am seeking Robert HUGHES who would have been born in Llanfillyn Montgomeryshire c1880. The only information I have for this man is he was married to Mary Ann Boulton (who may not come from Wales) and their first child was born 1803. I guess when I look at that I shall be very lucky to find any information about him but you can always hope! I shall certanly be glad of any information available Many thanks Shirley Gray
Hi Shirley, I hope you find something about Robert, who would have been born around 1780...there are some clever genealogists around...

Hello! I found a marriage for a Maggie Jones - could this be Margaret - to a Samuel Sharples. 1903 Sep. Qtr Prestwich, Lancashire. 8d 737. Then I found a birth for Lydia D. Sharples. 1911 Dec. Qtr Salford, Lancashire 8d 49. Mother's maiden name: Jones. How rewarding would the above marriage certificate be?

Hello Rina, I only have my grandfather's memory to rely on as far as the boy's name was concerned. He was said to be "an ensign/midshipman" and died when his ship was torpedoed. His age is a worry! My grandfather came to Australia in 1911 and my father and his step-mother in 1913. I have no idea who supplied the family news. Thank you for your help. I'll keep looking.

Dear John, Thank you for your help. Not even close, was I? Margaret Jane gave me several choices. Born Cardiganshire. Baptised Bristol. Worked Caernarfonshire. Father born Breconshire. Should I be looking at Lancashire? The name Sharples would not be unusual there. I suppose there is a Lancashire list.

Hi Marian, If Margaret was still unmarried in the 1901 census, it doesn't seem to give her much time to get married and have a son who was old enough to fight and die in World War 1, unless he lied about his age. If you search for his birth registration on Freebmd in the period 1900-1910, the earliest candidate was born in the September Quarter of 1902 in Prestwich in Lancashire and the next in 1904 in Bolton, Lancashire. Could it have been World War 2 do you think? http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl The Commonwealth War Graves Commission site allows you to search for those fatally wounded in both wars, there are no results for a Leonard Sharples. Could he have had another forename? http://www.cwgc.org/debt_of_honour.asp?menuid=14 Another option is to contact the National Archives, to see if they can help: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/militaryhistory/army/step5.htm Rina http://www.a-glamorgan-family.com/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marion O'Sullivan" <gwiwer10@bigpond.net.au> To: <powys@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 28, 2007 5:45 AM Subject: [POWYS] (Powys)Margaret Jane Jones.

I have received a death certificate with the following information: Eliza Price age 15mos 27 May, 1859 at Ffosygregwen Farm, Schlydach Daughter of Morgan Price ag labourer Coroners Inquest held May 27 (29?),1859 accidental drowning in River Cilieni James Williams coroner Fossygregwen farm was located just north of Pentre'r felin village. Maybe less than a mile. I would very much like to find this childs burial place...if her body was recovered. I have been trying for sometime to find her burial but have had no success. Now that I have the death cert I see that the reason I can't find her may be that her body was not recovered. Does anyone know if a newspaper may have existed in the area in 1859 and/or coroners inquests available? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Gwen gisaac@netins.net
Pursuant to a Decree of the High court of Chancery, made in a Cause "Church against Frowd" the CREDITORS of DAVID WILLIAMS, late of Lanblethian, in the county of Glamorgan, Gent, deceased (who died in the month of January, 1828), are forthwith to come in and prove heir Debts before James William FARRER Esq. one of the Masters of the said Court, at his chambers, in Southhampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, London, or in default thereof they will be excluded the benefit of the said Decree. March 10th, 1828. Thursday se'nnight a canal boat belonging to Mr. MILTON, of Pershore, was being navigated down the Avon, heavily laden with coals, when, on approaching the weir near the town, the strength of the current was such that she became unmanageable, began to fill, and got into the middle of the stream. Rd. CARE, the captain of the boat, seeing the danger, with great presence of mind hastened to his wife, who was at the bow of the vessel, thrust her overboard into shallow water, and she reached the bank in safety. He then went to his daughter, about 15 years of age, who was in the cabin, but before he could get her out, the water rushed in upon them, and the boat went down, and engulfed both. We are happy to observe that our highly respectable Magistrates, who have for so many years devoted their time and attention to the arduous duties of this district, resumed their seats on the Bench on Tuesday last. - Cheltenham Chronicle.

AN APPEAL TO THE BENEVOLENT In 1825, died the Rev. JAMES THOMAS, of Hill Grove, in the hamlet of Clythia, near Abergavenny. For the last few years he had some small preferment; but the whole of the property which he left was a Leasehold on two lives, of £8 per annum, and the Stock of a rented Farm of 28 acres. On the 5th of February inst. Mrs. THOMAS died; she was evidently worn down by anxiety, and by varied and continued exertions. There are ten children: one boy was placed in Christs Hospital about four years ago by Mr. Alderman THOMPSON; one girl has been placed at Cowen-Bridge School, by Capt. WITHERING, but for her, probably, £1 1/2 a-year must be paid. The rest of the children are unprovided for. Those who are of age to be employed, have had to struggle against the want of means and of opportunity. One daughter, seven years old, must ever remain helpless, from mental imbecility.

On Tuesday se'nnight as Mr. STOKES, of Pauntley Court, Gloucestershire, was on his way from his house to Pershore, within a mile and a half of the latter place (near Tiddesley Wood), his gig came in violent contact with another coming from Pershore, in which was Mr. FLETCHER, of Hill Croome. Both gentlemen were immediately thrown out, and Mr. STOKES, pitching upon his head, death was immediately ensued! Mr. FLETCHER was severely bruised but managed to get to a neighbouring turnpike-house. Medical aid was procured with all possible dispatch; and Mr. FLETCHER was conveyed to Pershore, where he now lies in a doubtful state. At the inquest, it appeared that Mr. STOKES was on his return from Bredon's Norton to Worcester, when shortly after leaving the former place the horse became refractory, and backing into a ditch, broke the bar of the gig. The circumstance and the lateness of the hour had determined Mr. STOKES to remain daring tho night at Ecklington; but unfortunately, on reaching that village, the want of accommodation at the only public-house in the place compelled him to proceed, having first tied the bar together with a strong cord. The horse, at starting, again showed viciousness, and there is little doubt that he soon became uncontrollable and ran away, the dreadful result of which is above stated. Mr. STOKES was in his 52d year, and a wife and eight children, together with a wide circle of highly respectable relatives and connexions, are left to deplore his untimely end.

A burglarious entrance was effected into Iscoed House, Carmarthenshire (the seat of Rev. Edw. PICTON0, on the night of Thursday sennight; but happily the family were awakened, and the robbers foiled in their expectations of a booty.
