Snell Family bible entry

[SCH2]

Thank you very much for your interest Heddwch.

 I look forward to hearing from you and meanwhile I will try and dig out the names of any of my Great Grandparents' siblings and anything that I know about their families.

There is at least one very old  photo at my Mother's house that is of the house that some of the family lived in (not sure which generation though), so I will make sure that I write it down.

Best wishes and thank you again

Hi,
Sorry to intrude but I found that a T Salathiel was the manager of Gelli No,3 in 1896 could this be him at 24 yr old ? Info from Durham Mining Museum.

Incidentally I worked for many years with an Eddie Salathiel who was a local councillor and Ambulance person. This was until he passed approx 20 yrs ago

Regards

Hi Briwales,

You are not intruding at all. I am not sure whether the T Salathiel is the same one or not, but it may well be. The dates that you have found would indicate that he was born in 1852 which would fit with David T's date of birth.

Also I know that there were 2 brothers who were killed in the Cymmer disaster. I must find all these names, which I know I have somewhere!!

What sort of age was Eddie when you were working with him? Perhaps we could work out an approx date of birth and try and link him in to the family - and to think that I thought that Salathiel was an uncommon name!

Many thanks
Sue

He had a brother George too.

Hi there,
According to Slaters directory  there was a pub `Red Cow ` in Caerphilly.
Opened around  1858/59 Run by Edward Jenkins..... Owen Edward Jenkins.
Passed on to John Gregory Thomas and after John Gregory death in 1905 to the Thomas family.

Happy searching

Ooh er!
But no David Thomas?  As his widow, Sarah,  remarried in1898, it may be that David was the son of William...but would Rhiw be Caerphilly?

The trouble is that there are literally 100s of deaths for David Thomas pre 1898!
When Sarah married William Snell, I think she must have been  about 63 (the entry in the family Bible says that she died in 1909 aged 74), so I have been looking for deaths of David Thomas's in that age bracket....nothing obvious found yet!!!
Still looking!!
