The Lighter Side / Re: What was the saddest death in your Tree ?
« on: Wednesday 06 September 06 08:43 BST (UK) »
My Mother's father died Christmas eve 1970 ten days later my father died 5th January, its was my mothers 39th birthday. Both died at home of heart attack's.
Further back in the family tree i lost a great uncle to fire, died age 7 playing with matches in bed and two years later his sister died when her hair caught fire while drying it by on open fire.
The happiest death i have is an old uncle who after enjoying a good days walking in North Wales, then died (heart attack) in the pub after his first pint which someone else had got him. At his funeral a walking friend was heard to say ''George would do anything to avoid buying a round''. For George it was an ideal exit.

Wales / Re: Welsh or English? Montgomeryshire, Shropshire?

The Lion at Llansantffraid south west of Oswestry also had a wet and dry bar on Sunday during the 1940's. However it clearly sits in Wales now, locals still refer to the English and Welsh bars.
Confused i am and my grandmother was the landlady!!
