Glamorganshire Resources & Offers / Re: Offer: Llangynwyd and Maesteg Cemetaries
« on: Tuesday 26 January 21 04:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi - If the offer is still active after so many years, could I put in a plea for a couple of lookups, please? CHARD in Llangynwyd.
I am expecting the burial of Robert Carter CHARD d1873 in Llangynwyd. Also, Jane CHARD d1875 in Llangynwyd area. Thinking that she is buried in St Cynwyd Church's cemetery.

If any other CHARD names arise from this request, then those will likely provide more leads.

This request comes from Australia, and I cannot see me travelling there any time soon, although it would be very pleasant, I am sure.

I am very grateful that people have taken the time to apply themselves to such an endeavour. Rain and wind was mentioned earlier in this thread, and that must have been quite a trying day.

I am sure that I must have family buried in Maesteg (different surnames), but I need to consult my FH research for this.

Abundant thanks, Eggd.

Hmmm. I see what you mean, Fredy.

The archives are in Melbourne and Adelaide. They appear on my list of archives to check, but neither of these cities are convenient for me as I am in Briz. When I last checked, they had a status of "not yet examined". I suspect that i did not place a request for examination of these archives.
I am making the assumption that the "J" in the titles - associated with "SIBTHORPE" - stands for "Jack".

cheers

Hi Helen

Wonderful that you found this site!
I agree that your mum was a groundbreaker. Upon seeing the reports of her various degrees and appointments in the newspapers, I was impressed. Glad that someone can verify the spelling of her first name - I think that the newspapers reported it haphazardly, making searches terribly difficult.

There are a couple of hits on the National Archives of Australia site and, if I remember correctly (always a worry), there is a letter from her in Rabaul commenting on the poor conditions there and possibly seeking governmental assistance.

I'll try to send you a personal message.
cheers

Many thanks for this. My posting was a last-ditch attempt, since PM did not work.
Pity, as ginya appears to be in my area, both in research area and physical area.
abundant cheers

Hi Dee

Don't know how I arrived at 'GRB' as the acronym. Maybe yesterday's temperatures affected my brain.

Many thanks for the links. The photos in Trove I can reach just fine. Curious that the best image shows him in drag. Looks like he was having fun.
The link to the photos works for me. Seeing everyone's responses makes me concur, although I read the year on the football as '1913'. Reluctant to accept '1912', but that is just me. As you mention, these photos seem irrelevant to the SIBTHORPE family.

PM coming shortly.
cheers

Hmm. I might be wrong about that Taringa cert. GRB signed his reenlistment papers in Brisbane (area) in 1923. The cert is 1924, you mention. Every possibility methinks.
