Evan Gwilym James - 1897 Newquay

[deb usa]

Hi alism

Thanks for that ... osprey had given me the welsh Mariners site ...which is just fabulous ... I had not thought to look on CWGC though .

I was also wondering if there would be anything on the James or Evans families in a museum ... I have no idea where though.

is there a site for the memorial Hall in New Quay? My uncle is hoping to visit, so hopefully I can give him as much info as possible.

thanks again

can't remember a museum in New Quay - it's not very big, but there is a Tourist Info place - not sure if it's open all year

There is one in Aberystwyth though - might be worth contacting?

and the county archives are also there

Hi Debs

pleased to see that you found a lot of information about your New Quay people.  I actually lived at High Terrace for a while about 15 years ago!

I still live fairly close to New Quay (in llandysul) and currently both my sister and Mother in law live there.  My husbands family have roots in New Qauy and I will ask my mother-in-law if she can remeber the names at all.

The memorial hall is an old community hall and has been used as the local cinema in the past.

I will see if it is possible for my sister to get a photo of the plaque for you.  (My memory is terrible =- so email if you haven't heard anything for a while!)

Hello

This is all very interesting to me as my Grandad is Thomas Argo James !! So I guess I am in some way related.

The next time I see my Dad I will ask him if he has any memories of Evan Gwilym James.

In the meantime thanks for all this information its, very helpful. I'm still trying to put it all together and work out who relates to who at what time, but hope you don't mind if I follow up with further posts if and when.

regards
