Mayo / Re: McHales from Tonebane - Tonybaun, Co. Mayo
« on: Friday 27 April 12 21:08 BST (UK)  »
My dad was Edward Joseph McHale, great grandson of the Edward McHale who married Mary McNulty and left to go to Wrexham.  (Son of John Edward b.1881/son of Edward McHale b.1854/son of Edward McHale b. 1821.  My dad died in 1961 when I was 7 and my mum Gwendolyn McHale (née Langley) lost touch with the McHale family. Now that I have retired I have made it my aim to find out more about my dad's family.  I only found out last night about Edward and Margret and Peter coming from Tonebane.  Please get in touch.  I would love to hear about the McHales past or present.  Many thanks Minda Lynn McHale.

Caernarvonshire Lookup Requests / Colwyn Terrace.
« on: Tuesday 15 February 11 21:11 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks very much for the info on Colwyn Terrace.  My great grandmother, Mary Roberts (b1846)  lived in 5 Twnan Terrace in 1891.  Her husband was John Roberts (b1851)  Their children were Mary J (1875), Ellin A (1878), Robert (1880), Margaret (1883), William J (1887).  Margaret married my grandfather John Edward McHale and lived with him in 1 Colwyn Terrace.  Their children were Margaret McHale (1910), John Peter McHale (1907) and Edward Joseph McHale (1905) - my dad.  My dad died when I was 7 and my mum, now dead, lost touch with his family, so I'm only now tracking down my relatives.  The McHales were house painters and the head of the Roberts household in Twnan Terrace was a labourer.  I imagine that these terraces were build for labourers and those working on the new buildings and railway as Colwyn Bay grew into a resort.  If I find any links I'll let you know.  Thanks, Lynn

 I found reference to a smithy in the area of Penybryn.  It was where the Llanelian road crossed Glanymor road.  It was run by William Williams in 1860 and he also ran the Post Office in Old Colwyn.  My grandmother Margaret Roberts, also lived in the Penybryn area in Twnan terrace opposite Bethesda house.  Now Penybryn.  When she got married she went to live in 1, Colwyn Terrace where my father's sister Margaret was born in 1910.  In the 1911 census 1 Colwyn Terrace is registered to Jane Hughes, a dressmaker.  So they'd moved out.  Colwyn Terrace was in the census near Granrafon Terrace.  Glanrafon means by the river.  So maybe Colwyn Terrace was near the river in the same area.  It's funny that our 2 families lived in Penybryn area and then moved to Colwyn terrace.
