for your interest, there is a book in cardiff library and mr aunt catherine llewellin nee ellis used to have a copy of john mcconochies drawing and design of cardiff est bute dock. He also used to live in the ornate house designed by Burgess  just opposite the national museum. He is buried in the cemetary behind allansbank road library. The position is against the wall on the road from roath park that meets cryws road junction with whitchurch road.I cant rember which side of the ornate entrance on this road it is.

re charles mcconochie, his daughter was my grandmothers  mother.  Her name was Rachel Mcconochie, she married a Ernest bird who was a chief engineer at sea. .........they lived in cardiff. My grandma used to tell me stories of the mcconochies and her uncle who laid out all the gardens in cardiff. She used to love to visit him in his house in the flower gardens as we used to call them . They also had tennis courts and a bowls green there. Her aunt was Ruth mcconochie. Another note I saw was your link to Sir Ronald Bell, well his brother john, was my great aunt Catherine Ellis cousin, He was a great help to her in her later years. She also had twin sisters, Ruth and Rachel who as far as I know never married. I am desperately trying to locate more info particularly from my copy of a family tree concerning this side of my family.
