Penrhyn Quarry Hospital Records

[hiraeth]

I'm trying to find out the names/details of the Doctors who were working at the Penrhyn Quarry  hospital at Bethesda in early 1859.  The person I'm looking for was a young man - possibly a student -  who appears to have left the district by the 1861 census.

Does anyone know where/how I might find this information.

Thanks

Hi Heather,
          To begin with I'd contact the County Archives Office at Caernarfon; you can email them at <archives.caernarfon@gwynedd.gov.uk>  They ought to be able to point you the right way, even if they can't look up anything themselves. If you need a lookup perhaps there might be someone nearer than me who could oblige. Archives are now closed until Tuesday.
          Best wishes,
                             Pinot

Hi pinot

Thanks for the suggestion.  I'll try emailing them next week.

Probably not much help but the Llandegai primary school has a nice collection of info (constructed by the pupils ... erm OK so with the help of their schoolteacher) with some interesting facts about connections to the Penrhyn Quarry

Hello,
I am new to this site but I think my daughter had some contact with you last year. 
My grandmother was Catherine Hillier and I notice that you have found the connection to Parish and Thatcher, two names that my mother mentioned when I was a child.  I think my grandmother's sisters must have married men with these surnames. I think my daughter forwarded to you a scan of my mother's photo.
Regards, Joan.
