Got the key to the castle too (used to be you knocked on the farmhouse door and the lady gave you the key and you could let yourself in...the place probably has an armed guard nowadays )

Cheers,

To old rowley - this is the Llangefni photo - does it look like 1880 to you?  if it is 1880 - then I really don't know who the people are.
Wj Hughes was kind enough to attend at Amlwch every Saturday so I'll need to look at those relatives of ancestors who lived in Amlwch a bit earlier/

Oooh, not to steal OR's thunder but as it might take some time for him to check back in (unlike some of us, OR has a life away from the computer keyboard ), I don't think he would object to my pointing out this photo is pretty firmly in a 1868-1870 time frame. I'm pretty sure OR would agree...

Cheers,

and yes I do china    agree with you that is,

the woman on the left has her hair in the style of a chignon a marteaux (can not do squiggly bits above the a ) which had rows of vertical sausage shaped coils which would indicate the date line that china suggests, as would the Tyrolese hats that bot women (standing) are seen wearing. These hats, with high crown (rather like a turned up flower pot) and narrow turned up brims, came into fashion c1868.

thanks china, although by the time that I will need to use that again I will be staring at the keyboard with me tongue sticking out of the corner of my mouth going "uummmmmmm, now which one was it"
