Sorry about the double reply

Hi Peter
Thank you for the time and trouble re looking up Edwin Lewis b1833, much appreciated.

I have looked at both of your suggestions:
1: The baptism seems to be a perfect match with the info that I already have
2:  Unfortunately I have been unable to locate the possible marriage in Llansilin, Denbighshire

All gets a bit dubious as the years slip away, still very interesting.  Without the internet this, at least for myself, would be impossible and you meet nice people.  Our own family history web page has lead us in many directions and I hope has been a bit of a help to others.

Hi

I would appreciate any information on Edwin Lewis b1833 Mold Flintshire.  I am at a dead end at this point, the only other information that I have other than the following census data is that his wifes (Jane) maiden name was Hancox

Thanks

I would appreciate an opinion on the date of the attached photos.  Both are on glass negatives.  One glass neg is 6 1/2 x 8 1/2, the other is in a wooden frame 4 3/4 x 5 3/4 the actual neg is 3 1/4 x 4 1/4.

I think the frame is not a display frame - it is 3/4" thick, the back (which covers the neg) is hinged in the middle and held in by two 1/2" wide steel straps, there is a tapered grove down the back 1 1/2" wide.  I think this "frame would have fit into some other apparatus.   

Both of the neg are related to S-O-T England, they in my Fathers possession (could have been his fathers?) who was born in Tunstall 1901.

I think the frame is not a display frame - it is 3/4" thick, the back (which covers the neg) is wood 1/4" hinged in the middle and held in by two 1/2" wide steel straps, there is a tapered grove down the back 1 1/2" wide.  I think this "frame would have fit into some other apparatus.   

Both of the neg are related to S-O-T England, they were in my Fathers (b1901 Tunstall, d1953) possession.  They could have been his fathers (b1876 d1940)

Since I am unsure of who these people are, the approximate date of the pictures may help.

Thanks Bill D.

Hi Alf
Found your offer ot look at graves at St. Johns Burslem via a Google search.  If your offer (which is over a year old now) still stands I would be interested in DWYNE OR DWINE and perhaps GARNER LEWIS & PICKERING.
