The Common Room / Re: Look-Up Request: Where is Alice Stevens.? No Birth Reg, Baptism etc..
« on: Saturday 26 April 25 21:06 BST (UK)  »
I see that Alice's parents, Edwin and Nancy had both died by the 1891 census
There is an Alice Stevens aged 18 working as a servant in the home of Selina C Robinson, Nelson Road, Portsea on the 1891 census
RG13/873/36/5

Caernarvonshire / Re: Grave of Councillor Howel Samuel EDWARDS died 1952 Penrhyn Bay?

No problem Gen. St Tudno's is a pretty little church in a stunning location, often visited by holiday makers because of its position on The Great Orme. Actually, the nearest cemetery to Penrhyn Bay is the church at Rhos on Sea.

If you are still looking for this grave perhaps contact the Conwy Archive as they have a list of burials in Llandudno. I have had a look & found Howel's parents grave at the St Tudno graveyard but Howel isn't registered in that grave. Hugh, Howel's father died 26/3/1939 & mother Jane 28/5/1942 there is a photograph of their grave & headstone on Billion Graves site. There is a second graveyard called Great Orme Cemetery adjacent to St Tudno, but I can't find him there either. Hugh & Jane lived at Bryn Alyn, Abbey Road, Llandudno.

Thanks for that info Ellenmai.  I did promise Gen List Lass I would go to the cemetery and look around. I haven't managed to get there yet but I will go as soon as I get chance

I'll have a look around and get back to you. I see the probate mentions Penrhyn Isaf Road. It is only a few minutes walk from where we live  :)

The cemetery on The Great Orme belongs to St Tudno's Church. The church is only used for services occasionally I think, mainly in the summer.  It is a large grave yard.  I live in Penrhyn Bay.  We are going on holiday for a couple of weeks but I'm happy to have a look around the churchyard when we get back to see if I can find anything.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: I am so upset .....
« on: Friday 21 March 25 14:36 GMT (UK)  »
I have my tree on Ancestry. It is a public tree. I always make sure I have done thorough research before I add anything to my tree. I would rather people use my tree to copy information than to use a tree that has false information that hasn't been properly researched.  I have some 'draft' trees which are work in progress  but I make sure the settings for these are private and unsearchable.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Hamsteels Colliery Inn, Co Durham
« on: Saturday 01 March 25 16:37 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you John. By 1891 my grandfather had moved to Esh, but I see that in 1881, his father John Hardman was single and living at home in Quebec and the address is 195 West Chapel Row Quebec.  So it's great to find an address for one of the streets
Thank you again

Hi there.
I'm not a big user of Rootschat, but it proved very useful when I was researching Hamsteels.

Have you been able to download my story?
https://www.durhamweb.org.uk/historyforum/downloads/Lanchester/TheLostSister.pdf

I cover Hamsteels in the 1890s on pages 9-25. The old photo of Hamsteels Inn on page 14 was provided by 'Elliven', which you may have seen higher up in this chat. He is a County Durham local and has been researching local pub history for many years.

Page 78 has a few references from the 1950s onwards that your great grandparents would have known about. You'll find my sources on page 84.

I hope that's useful.

Thank you so much for the link to your very interesting story.  I was particularly interested in the part about Quebec. My grandfather was born there in 1884.  I was wondering which street he was born in after seeing your map. Unfortunately, the address on his birth certificate just states 25 Quebec.  Still, it was good to see the map and read about the area.
Thank you
