Caernarvonshire / John Williams, innkeeper of Bontnewydd near Caernarfon.
« on: Thursday 26 March 09 17:06 GMT (UK)  »
I am searching for any information on John Williams who was the innkeeper at the Newborough Arms in Bontnewydd, near Caernarfon for the approximate period 1821 - 1830. I believe he later moved to Ty'n y Coed in Llanbeblig and is the John Williams who was there at the time of the 1841 census. His wife, Anne, died in 1855 and is buried in Llanbeblig cemetry. I can find no likely reference however to John either in the Llanbeblig parish records or the memorial inscriptions.
Any help gratefuly appreciated.

Caernarvonshire / Re: Salt surname in Bethesda area
« on: Tuesday 24 March 09 18:58 GMT (UK)  »
I don't know if it's of any help but a James Salt married Catherine Gwladys Johns in the parish church at Llanrug on 28/5/1889. She was the daughter of the vicar of Llanrug and James Salt later became the vicar of Llandinorwig. The marriage record notes that James lived in Port Dinorwic (Felinheli today) at the time of his marriage. I'm afraid I didn'r record any other details such as father's name but the marriage register is in the Gwynedd Archives at Caernarfon.

I don't know if this cemetry has been transcribed - don't think it has. The burial registers however are in the Gwynedd Archives in Caernarfon. You can find them on the Gwynedd Council web site.

Caernarvonshire / IGI Batch Numbers
« on: Tuesday 22 January 08 22:49 GMT (UK)  »
Passing on the link to this site. It lists the IGI Batch Numbers for all the Caernarfon transcriptions in the IGI. Clicking on an individual batch no. takes you to a list of the transcriptions from that church/chapel.

You can navigate from this page to similar pages for all other counties.

Hope it's of some use to somebody.

Thanks.

 I've seen the original burial register - it's in the County archives in Caernarfon. The entry for Rachel Fox does include a grave number - 493. Would that match up to a plan or map of the cemetry? I didn't think of looking for such a document in the archives.

Does anyone know if the Gwynedd Family History Soc. has recorded this Cemetry? I cannot see it on their site but I don't know how often the site is updated.

Looks like Carrog View Gardens. There is a village called Carrog near Corwen. Can't make out the word that appears to begin with B

Merionethshire / Rowlands, Onnen Inn, Bala
« on: Monday 21 January 08 19:26 GMT (UK)  »
I thought I'd be the first to post a message on here this year - try and bring some life to the forum!

John Rowlands, who kept the Onnen Inn on the High street in Bala, was my gt.gt.gt.grandfather. One of his daughters, Dorothy went to Blaenau Ffestiniog where she married and raised a family. Her grandaughter, Jane Davies (my grandmother) eventually "migrated" in a similar way to Llanberis.

I'm hoping that other descendants of John Rowlands, or anyone else whas any information on John Rowlands, may see this and respond so that we can share information.

Completed Census Requests / Re: Help with name of Abode, please

It's fairly definately Hen ysgubor ddegwm. Degwm is the Welsh word for Tithe - I think this was a payment due to the church, originally paid in grain?
Ysgubor Ddegwm is Tithebarn, Hen ysguborddegwm is Old Tithebarn.
