Thank you again Martin, I just hadn't scrolled my e-mail far enough for the rest of you answer. Can't miss finding it now. Charlotte The Wirral is in (Cheshire) England but is near to the Welsh border. Traditionally there are a lot of connections between North Wales and Liverpool. Martin

Thank you Martin for your response. Also a great big laugh about the motoring show. The woman did say (my husband and I had a caravan near Pwllheli) but I had no idea of what it was. I can now find Wirral on the map with your direction and then will know too whether it is in England or Wales. I appreciate your time and help. Especially for giving my laugh for the day. Best Wishes, Charlotte

It could be up to a year in normal circumstances and even longer in exceptional circumstances - I've just been studying a whole run of wills and was surprised by how consistently long the periods tended to be.

Does anyone know if the gravestones in Llanllechid churchyard have been recorded? Pat Chapman

I wonder if anyone can help me. I have a copy of the Statement by the Executors of the estate of Robert Roberts, Tanydderwen, Llanllechid. It gives details of payments made e.g. for the gravestone and coffin and also of the division of the monies left. His 7 children each received £10 16sh 10d!The statement is dated 19th day of June 1901. My question is how long after the death of Robert Roberts would his affairs have been sorted out. I am trying to find out when he died. Many thanks Pat Chapman

I need to know what a CARAVAN is? Also can you tell me where WIRRAL is? Is it in England or Wales and where abouts is it located in that country. Would appreciate the help. Thanks, Charlotte, Duncan, Oklahoma USA

Thanks and best wishes, Charlotte Duncan, OK

Hello list, Back again to continue my search nearer to home for some of my more elusive characters. I have my Grandfathers sister Hannah Maria ROBERTS 1882-1968 who was born in Llanyblodwel SAL but moved to LLanystumdwy CAE when she was just a few years old. She married one Richard Emmanuel PRITCHARD born 1882 in Abererch. They were married November 14th. 1912 and had six children that I know of. Dorothy b 1914, Laura b 1916, David E. b 1920, William J. b 1922, and Thomas who I can`t locate a birth for. William and David died when they were in their thirties. I think! that Dorothy married a guy with the surname Llewelyn in 1941 probably in Criccieth CAE (I am chasing that one up now). Does anyone know anything about or can relate to this family please. I know that the family lived in 4, Arvonia terrace, Criccieth certainly around the 40/50s. Keith Roberts, Colwyn Bay.

I have recently come across this link http://www.mdr.nationalarchives.gov.uk/mdr/ which allows you to search the manorial documents database on line. It describes itself as " The Manorial Documents Register (MDR) identifies the location of manorial records. The MDR is partially computerised – Wales, the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, Norfolk, Surrey, Middlesex and the three Ridings of Yorkshire are available online. See Search the MDR. However the majority of the counties have not yet been computerised and information is still only available by visiting our searchroom or writing in with an enquiry. The records noted in the Manorial Documents Register include court rolls, surveys, maps, terriers, documents and all other documents relating to the boundaries, franchises, wastes, customs or courts of a manor. Title deeds are not included in the Register." So you can see Wales appears to be in the forefront. Megan --------------------------------- Moving house? Beach bar in Thailand? New Wardrobe?

Dear list, An enquiry from a cousin has rekindled an interest in my Brychdir, Aberdaron family. They were William GRIFFITH (ca1795-1874), his daughter Catherine (b ca 1823 in Aberdaron) who married John JONES (b ca 1821 in Aberdaron) in 1844. John was the son of Thomas JONES of Zolum (?) which puzzled me at the time - I was convinced I had misread the residence. They had children including my gt gt grandfather (Captain) Thomas JONES b ca 1852 m 1885 d 1886) and Mary JONES who married an OWEN - and had a son John OWEN who bought Brychdir in 1912, dying in 1926. As you can see, I haven't delved into this side at all really having been put off a little by the profusion of Thomas and John JONES in Aberdaron! I have the census details and MIs for most of the above, apart from John JONES and his wife Catherine of Brychdir who died post 1891. Does anyone else have interests in Aberdaron that might overlap or have any info? I am due to go to Caernarfon next week to relook at all the PRs and land tax &c. TIA. Yours, Ian London SW9

Thanks a million for the movie projector bulb sales company address and phone #. My projector is a very old Bell and Howell and the bulbs are very difficult to find. Been looking for a long while for one. Charlotte

I have acquired my late aunt's family history papers and in these I have come across a transcript which baffling me and I hope that someone out there might be able to shed some light on it. The document is headed up "William Morris letter to the Cardigan Exercise" - however, I suspect it should read "excise". The original is partly in Welsh and partly in English - the transcript is all English. The letter was dated January 1757. Below are some extracts from it. "I was called up with the alarm that an army of about 400 or 500 men were marching through Llanynghenadl to attack this fortress" . The only place I can find with the name Llanynghenadl is on Anglesey. "and the two strong places where the attack was threatened to be made, viz. Llanfaur and Ynys Rug - at the latter places were some corn warehouses" "the enemy had advanced as far as Tygywn y Capel ............ Ours had not marched further than Penllech Nest" "the enemy opposite Penrhyn Giriol." Anyone squeamish should not read the next bit ..."About two o'clock the prisoners began to come in: some scalpd, some marked with the sign of the cross on their heads and backs, but all damage done was behind, except a few that the skins of their foreheads hanging over their eyes" "The garrison at Ynys Rug" "The prisoners were secured in the King's warehouse for security, etc., except the wounded who are put into torture by Holyday." "Their (the enemy) General was sent, guarded with a larty of armed light horse to Byrnddu, there to answer etc." So my questions are where are all these places, and who were the enemy and what was it about? Hope there is someone out there who can help. Thanks Megan Roberts --------------------------------- Moving house? Beach bar in Thailand? New Wardrobe? Win £10k with Yahoo!
