Hi
The 1889 death cert. of Joseph Wright shows he was
Manager of the Livery Stables in Mostyn Street, Llandudno.
Mostyn Street seems to be quite long.
I would like to know whereabouts in Mostyn Street
the Livery Stables were and whether the building is still there.
Thanks for any help on this.

139 Mostyn Street is now Home From Home Cooking and has always been a shop of some sort. However, there is an alleyway at the left-hand side that leads down to another building (now Club 147), I suspect this was the Livery Stables.
You can see it on Streetview here (to right of Gresham pub):

Thank you very much for the link showing where the livery stables
must have been.
That alleyway does look big enough to be an entrance to stables.

Hi, I am new to Root's chat so please bear with me. I beleive My great Grandfather is the Joseph Wright manager of the above Livery stables. My Joseph was born in 1848 and died April 16, 1889 Llandudno Wales at the age of 41. He was interred in Llanrhos Churchyard, Good Friday April 19th.
He was married to Emily Anne Butler who was born in 1855 and died Nov. 30, 1928 in Nottingham. Their daughter Eleanor Louisa Wright, born 16 Dec. 1883, 4 Ritson Street Liverpool was my maternal Grandmother. She died 13 Dec. 1958 in Montreal Canada. Harry Bertram, Ernest and Charles were her brothers born to Joseph and Emily. Several of my family over the years have taken an interest in the family history and we have never had any luck in learning anything more about Joseph Wright. We do not have any photos, birth/marriage/death certificates. We have no knowledge of his parents or siblings. Can you help? This being my first time in Root's chat, I am completely lost. Do you know of a way we could make direct contact? I believe we share the same ancestor/ancestors. I look forward to hearing from you.

My hubby just noticed I fat fingered my user name. s/b sacanc!

Exciting to suddenly get more on my Mostyn Street query!!
DaveR thank you for finding the photo of the stables.
Do you have any idea of the year it was taken?
sacanc I think we are definately on the same family!
I am in touch with a descendant of Charles and we have been comparing research.
We think that Joseph had a wife who died 1881 leaving his children motherless and later he married Emily.
So Emily's children would be stepbrothers/stepsister of the older children.

Greetings Fennawright
Thank you for this update.
Joseph and Emily certainly seem to have a collection of marriages. I believe your descendent of Charles with whom you are working with "J" in England is the same relative that I correspond with. I am descended from Emily Ann. Who do you descend from? We have little on Ernest Wright's side of the family. Any information on that? Does anyone have a photo of Joseph Wright or his children with Emily Ann? My grandmother Eleanor Louisa told my Mom that there was an old tinplate photo of him. Don't know who had it though.
I would also be interested in the date of the old photo of the Livery stables.
Good chatting with you, looking forward to keeping in touch!

Unfortunately, we do not have any photos of Joseph Wright .
I don't think people took so many back then and with so many children it's impossible to say which one would have a photo.
I hope that someone somewhere does have one and that it will turn up one day!
I'll send you a PM.

Emily was interred at Nottingham Road Cemetery, Derby.
Joseph Wright died at Llandudno, April 16th, 1889 and was interred in
Llanrhos Churchyard on April 19th, 1889.
Do you know whether either of them had a gravestone?

Hi there am so excited to see your posts about Joseph and Emily. I am Ernest granddaughter and am very keen to know about his family as we know very little about it and I am struggling to put the pieces together which might be due to the marriages you mention. Very happy to share what I know.
