“…there is a small rectangular Z3C section between Z7 and Z12…”

Well spotted, Chris! I missed that.


Quote from Chris Doran:

“…their apostrophe key must be stuck…”

It certainly looks that way…


Quote from Chris Doran:

“I avoided giving detailed location information before…partly because on previous occasions I've been pipped at the post by someone else (once after I’d spent some time weeding a grave for its photograph).”

My apologies, Chris; I didn’t intend to undermine your efforts; I was just trying to help WestOz and thought my post would serve to complement yours. I didn’t realise that, for good reason, your post was a little cautious – otherwise I would have held back from posting. Someone else jumping in and stealing your thunder, after you’ve done all the groundwork, is completely out of order and so inconsiderate. I had no idea that another Rootschatter would stoop that low.

Best wishes,

Reply #12 by Josey: "...the John Lloyd in question...was born ca 1830."

Oops!!! I missed that extremely vital fact! Makes me look like one of those people with impossible-to-be-true family trees!!! (Children born before their parents/born to deceased parents, and so on.)
 

Thanks for pointing it out, Josey but I really wouldn't call my contribution "well found" - the word "dunce" seems more appropriate for me on this occasion. I've been awake all night, struggling with my laptop which is on its last legs, and I evidently wasn't as alert as I thought when reading the thread.

So please accept my sincere apologies, stevelord65, Josey and everyone else...and do, please ignore my reply #11. 

In view of Josey's helpful revelation (well, it was a revelation to me!) I've just edited (after several attempts because my laptop keeps crashing) some of the info I posted to stevelord65's other thread, re. Lloyd and Co...mainly, a now-obviously-duff bit about an 1840 bankruptcy - because I've not heard of many 9-10 year old children going bankrupt!!!

Hi stevelord65,

Welcome to Rootschat...

Have you seen this? Is the John Lloyd, draper, mentioned here the right one? (It's not about the drapery business but may nevertheless be of interest.)

Best of luck with your research,

EDIT: I've just learnt, on stevelord65's other thread ("Can't find a marriage"), that John Lloyd was born about 1830; so my contribution (reply #11) to that thread was invalid and I'll make another post there to apologise. In the meantime, I've deleted the reference to it that I made in this post; and, in view of John Lloyd's c. 1830 birth, I've also deleted from this post a paragraph above, regarding an 1840 bankruptcy - I doubt there are many 9-10 year old children who go bankrupt! 

Hi Llanfihangel,

I can't help you directly but since your post has yet to receive a response, I'm replying in order to bump it back up onto the home page. That will give it another chance to be noticed, hopefully by  someone able to answer your questions.

In the meantime, I have a few suggestions:

> You could ask the Mods to move your post to Rootschat's Wales Board. (I should think one of your compatriots is more likely to be able to answer your questions.) To contact the Mods, I think you need to click on "Report to moderator" at the bottom of your post, on the right-hand side. 

> A shorter, snappier title for your post might grab more attention. Perhaps something like: "Welsh Wills at NLW - the Bounders!" (From what you say, the word "Bounder" has a different meaning in the context of Welsh Wills; but it's widely understood to mean "dishonourable person". So the heading I've suggested might be more noticeable.) The Mods would, I imagine, be able to alter the title for you.

> Have you tried emailing your questions to NLW?

> What about Archives Wales?

> What about a local FHS? Genuki lists Welsh FHS at:   

https://www.genuki.org.uk/Societies/Wales

> What about a History Society? (Local history rather than family history.)

> What about the History Department of a Welsh university?

The answers you need must be out there somewhere and I do hope you find them soon.

Best of luck!
