Anglesey / Re: Tildesley in Rhosneigr
« on: Monday 10 October 22 18:58 BST (UK)  »
News flash. Anita and her husband changed their name from Thomas to Tregarnedd. She became a painter, poet and author. The name change was made in 1928 and I couldn't fathom out why the change. I was recently informed that both sons, whilst serving in the 1st WW were found guilty of homosexual offences.  As both brothers were well know among the hoy-polloy of Bloomsbury, ( one was a lawyer in Windsor and the other owned a Blouse and Garment company) then Anita would distance herself from her brothers by changing her name. Just a guess though. The 1911 shows the boys at Rhosneigr with two other gents, one a Turk and aother, Noel Scovell, the son of Major General Edmund Scovell.

I have extensive details of the Tildesley family but alas, for Anita, I lost sight of her after the 1911 census showed her and her husband staying at a Bloomsbury hotel. No wonder I couldn't trace her much after that, changing their surname  really put me off the scent. Send me your e-mail by PM and I'll send you all the information that I  have managed to collect of this family.

Thanks a million Milli. I'm done for now ... Typing with Parkinson's is absolutely hard work ... it
 used to be double letters in every word but now, dammit, it's treble letters.
                                                Regards, Peter.

Oh, woe is me for being an Octogenarian and way past my sell-by date. Now I can safely record that he was indeed the oldest to marry in my family. I'm in the records too as being the youngest and the most married (five times). Thank you all for your help.

I have that info and I also have photos signed by him. He must have had something going on in the United States ... I have records of him making at least six ocean liner trips, one where he stays for over two months. I also have a photo of a church wall plaque, (All Saints, High Wycombe), giving junior's birth and death.

Whilst searching for the background story of this elusive Cleric I came across another Cleric of the same name, having obtained the same Degrees, at the same college but having a birth date of 1925 and a death date of 1950, buried at High Wycombe. Wilfred the elder was recorded on numerous trans-Atlanic crossings as being single. He is recorded as marrying Nancy T. Taylor, at Brighton in 1962 when he was 77 years old. Despite hours of searching through records I find no mention of Nancy (other than the wedding) neither can I find the mother of Wilfred junior. Both Wilfreds were buried at High Wycombe and I have Wilfred Snr's mother, Sarah Maria Float (1862-1944) also being buried there. With a name like that, what are the chances of having two that, not only share the name but certain geographical details as well. Wilfred Senior is in the Family book of records as being the oldest person to marry but something's not quite right ... can anyone help?

Anglesey / Re: wright family
« on: Wednesday 18 August 21 17:08 BST (UK)  »
     I recently posted on another website some old photos of Church Lane in Holyhead. Amongst the folk shown in the photo was Dick Wright, a man that I knew. In comments that followed it transpired that two of his sisters were also in the photo ...Margaret and Miriam Wright. Also mentioned as being related was a Lillian Wright. I suspect that, with those names popping up, then perhaps another look at Holyhead births could be rewarding. The photo I dated to C1935. One of the ladies is married with a child and looks as if she is in her early 20's ... the other is perhaps late teens.
