Hi All

I realise it had been quite a while since this thread was first started, but wanted to share this photo with you all.  Thomas Merrells was my great-great-grandfather.

Hi Kateevs.

Though I don't have a need for it at present would you mind if I possibly used that photo in possible future works?

Hi Bernard

I wouldn't have any objection to you using the photo.  If you do end up using it, please could you let me know?

Happy to let you know. I do research Swansea history and might come across Mayor Merrells in one theme or other. How would you want to be creditied in any caption?

I'd also ask if the West Glamorgan Archive Service might be interested in a copy of it? When I tried them for a snap of another mayor all they had was a copy of a newspaper engraving which was not very good. Not their fault, of course.

Thanks Bernard.  I don't mind about being credited.

I will give Archive Service a call.

Only just spotted this thread, but I am another descendant - a great grand-daughter. My Grand- Father was Sidney who married Margaret Harcombe. They had 1 son, William Arthur Merrells (b1922)
