Need help with old Welsh family album - identification and handwriting?

[Ruskie]

It is a shame to see family treasures such as these which are thrown away, however in this case the OP thinks it might have come from a house clearance so a slightly different set of circumstances -  possibly the end of the family line, no known relatives and the entire contents of the home were disposed of. Luckily this has now gone to a good home.

Thanks everyone... I'm still here! And thrilled that this old thread is still of interest. Thanks elacass, for your suggestions, and I'll be in touch via private mail. It's a while since I thought about this album (which I still have) so will have to refresh my memory. I don't remember coming across Tanygrisiau before so look forward to finding out more.

I have a habit (compulsion) of collecting old photographs. I don't understand how people can get rid of them either. I buy them to research the family and often share them on a blog I keep. I've found that the photos usually come from the end of a family line, as Ruskie says. I did have one success last year though, where the owner had lost some photos during a house move. I picked them up online from someone who had bought them at auction, and they were reunited with their original owner/family!

So it would be wonderful to find out more about this Welsh album. I'll keep you all posted 

I've just been re-reading the thread and realised mandywills mentioned Tanygrisiau too. Sorry, I missed that post at the time...
