A cousin of mine, lately discovered who thought she had no relatives in this area,  and who is now a Grandmother was astonished to discover that she did indeed have lots of relatives in this area and also in S.Wales. :)
Her Mother Mary Jane Jones married my uncle Emlyn Evans, but both her parents died whe she was very young, :( so that she did not know them and she was raised by an aunt, her Mother's sister Mary Elizabeth Jones. Both  were daughters of David Jones and Elizabeth Jane Curtis, who was the daughter of John Curtis & Mary Jane Mathews.
I would be interested in a copy of the photograph if thats possible, and hope thta this fills some gaps for you.

Hiraeth,
Thanks for your information; I did not find the plot which you have so kindly highlighted. I have been unable to revisit, due to poor health, and in fact my cousin, also involved in F.H. located the plot and obtained a photograph which he has kindly copied for me.
I do still intend to revisit when able and armed with your information it should be a very simple process.
Many thanks for your trouble.

Denbighshire / Re: Address in Rhosnessney
« on: Tuesday 18 March 08 21:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
The Acton estate was built following the first world war, :( ostensibly as housing for returning Military, but several strikes in the building trade in the 1920's put this idea on the " back Burner" :-[, and the houses were eventually completed, and occupied  by mineworkers employed at the newly sunk and opened Gresford Colliery.

Caernarvonshire / E Tegla Davies COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 16 March 08 01:24 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to establish the last resting place of E Tegla Davies, Wesleyan Minister once of Tregarth.
I have him and his wife listed as buried at Y gelli Cemetery Tregarth. I have visited the church grave yard on three occasions without any success. Is this the correct locetion or is there another cemetery in the district.
Thanks

Daisypetal, ???
Thank you for that, I had looked at the Directory and established a Curtis in Union St., Abersychan, circa 1900 seller of beer and a miner. Right family different generation, but the net is closing. :-\
Lydart,
 Thank you too; as a contributor to Geograph up here in the North, I had never given the site a thought. So thank you for stirring up "The Little Grey Cells", and i I'll recheck my files as I have an old map showing the Robin Hood, and can maybe obtain a grid reference from that. Thank you all for your assistance.

P.s. The 1901 census shows that John Curtis was the Landlord. so it was in existence at that point. He raised a family of 11/12 ( two wives ) so the beer was very good and a lot of people drank it!! I think that the Pub was in Cwmnantoer.
