Welsh Women's Peace Petition, 1923
« on: Sunday 08 March 26 13:44 GMT (UK) »

I'm pleased to have found my Grandmother's signature on the Welsh Women's Peace Petition, 1923, now available to search online.

My late Grandmother was Margaret Wilson, of Y Plas, Treboeth, Swansea.

I'll try and attach it here.

Thank you for the info, have also began to search, and found, female relatives in the 1923 petition.

For those interested...

Covers Wales generally, not just Glamorgan.

I think this Link should show my Grandmother’s signature:

I’m pleased to learn that she was a peace activist! I suspect that the stress of having four of her sons serving in WW1 must have influenced her.
