Here I am, too. My grandmother, Jane Elizabeth Roberts, and her Roberts family were all together on Llandudno census in 1881 (she was 2). In 1891 only Jane, her mother and sister, marianna, were at the same address. I seem to have lost the rest of them. I know where Jane was after 1911, but the rest are lost. Also closely connected to the Owen family of Llandudno, with a marriage to an Edwards and a Hughes. Connected also to Eglwys Rhos area of Llandudno. I got busy and have not been working on family history, but am hoping to get back to it again really soon. My main goal is to find living relatives, but failing that to fill in some blanks in my history. Dottie, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA dottielutz@earthlink.net

Hello Brian Yes you are still getting through - I got your message so it looks like there might be 2 of us on the site :-) I thought I would take this opportunity to post some interests. I was wondering if anyone has any connection to a William SPARKES born Norfolk, England who married a Sarah ? from Wales. Sarah didn't like living in Norfolk so they moved back to Wales to Nantemole, Rhonda. As far as I know they had 3 children including Eddie who was or is living in Letchworth. Also if any one is researching PARNELLS or WILLIAMSONS I would love to hear from you as I believe there is some family connections with Wales.

Dear listers, A friend of mine (Geoffrey White) who has helped me several times regarding my own research (natural father John Phillips) has been a lot more successfull with his own family tree, which seems to be missing one last branch - namely, the Welsh side. So I offered to post this on some Welsh lists. Here goes: He's looking for a Sarah Evans possibly born around 1813, perhaps in Wellington, Salops. She married William Bennett, born 1813 in Wellington and they had whom he thinks is their first child, William, in 1844, so they could have been married up to one day before the birth. The chances are that they were married much earlier, though and William was not the first child. (31 might have been a bit old to get married and have a first child.) Anybody out there recognise Sarah Evans, I think I've seen her name on a couple of messages, but was not searching for her then. THANKS a lot, Jonathan Hutchings (born, John Hugh Morgan Phillips) Researching Albert JOHN Phillips, born Cardiff 1923/4. ps: I have a photo of my father if anyone might be interested - who was around in Cardiff in the 1940's/50's. I can't send it in to the list, but just email me ALL those PHILLIP's out there! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
