Caernarvonshire / Re: Guy Hughes Photograph Collection - Pwllheli ?
« on: Monday 30 June 14 07:40 BST (UK)  »
Hi Milesy, thanks for getting back about the photos of Guys,It was a shock to say the least as  Ethal(your Great grandmother)Eric (your Great uncle Iorarths Father) and Nevile your Grandfather all decided that they would put them in the archives in Caernarvonshire for the History of Wales.
I was in the Archives not so long ago and was puzzeld then about no photo History being available .When did they send them out Australia? .

well mum has now been gone for more than 6 years so it is probably around 8 or 9 years ago.
Certainly Nevile knew they were here, but i beleiv Eric (who i never met) died some years before that so i guess that left Nevile as the 'owner' of them.
From memory i dont think mum was very impressed when she went to see them in the archives (how they were being stored etc) so had them bought out here.
Anyway they are here if your interested in them :-)

So Iorarths is Eric's son?

Guy was my Great Great Grandfather (so my mothers grandfather) and the photos belong to my mothers family (her father Neville) so she had them brought out here to Australia.

if you are still interested in these photos  i have around 4T (yes thats 4 tonne) of Guys glass negatives here with me in Melbourne.

Guy was my Great Grandfather and a few years back my mother had these shipped out to us from the Archives in Wales as they belong to my family.
