Hi Roy,

 :) Thank you for the info - I'll try contacting the Library.

I live near London, so I can't get to Newport easily.
A visit will have to wait till I make a trip to see my relatives in Wales.

Best wishes,

Emmy

Thank you, Ozlady. :)

I' signed up to that website a long time ago, but my question there hasn't come up with the answer yet, so I thought I'd try my luck here.

Best wishes,

Hi all,

I'd like to know if it's likely that my Grandad's death in April 1920 would have been reported in a local newspaper.  He lived in Tredegar with his family.

He went missing and was found a couple of days later, drowned in a pond in Tredegar.  I have his death certificate, which shows the Coroner recorded an open verdict on the cause of death.  I have tried to locate the relevant Coroner's report, but I understand it is no longer available.

I don't know the Tredegar area myself and have no idea which newpspapers I should be looking for.  Does anyone know which, if any, local papers circulated that area in 1920 which might have carried the story?

Grateful for any advice.

Hello Fellow Rootschatter,

I've seen your posts on the Shadforh family, and I wonder if yours are connected to these?

John Shadforth m 1691 to Margaret Smith in Pittington, Co Durham

Their children (all born in Pittington)-

Thomas b1692
George b1694
William b1696
Margaret b1699
Robert b1702
Mary b1707

Mary married Anthony Simie (b1706 in Sunderland) on 4 Feb 1732 in Durham city.

I've found two children of theirs, both born in Sunderland -

John Shadforth Simie b1733 Margaretta Simie b1734

I'm researching my own Simey family, but I'm also interested in family connected by marriage.

Grateful for any info.

Regards,

Emmy

Monmouthshire / CHARD Family & TREDEGAR ARMS
« on: Wednesday 03 January 07 11:47 GMT (UK)  »
Is anyone 'out there' researching/related to the following members of the CHARD family (all siblings)?

Harriet b1900 in Tredegar
Richard b1898 in Tredegar
Alfred b1893 in Old Tredegar, d1907 Bedwellty District
Joseph b1891 in Ebbw Vale
Martha b1890 in Ebbw Vale
John Henry b1888 in Ebbw Vale, d1916 Somme, France
Elizabeth Ann b1885 in Llwynypia
George Oliver b1882 in Llwynypia, d1920 Tredegar

My mother (b1911 in Tredegar) used to say she remembered her 'Uncle Jack' Chard was the landlord of the 'Tredegar Arms' public house opposite the clock tower in Tredegar town.  I'm not sure who exactly 'Uncle Jack' was, and the 1901 Census doesn't help.  Can anyone verify this, please?
