Monmouthshire / Re: Llanbadoc Inn and Usk

Thanks for getting in contact, good to be in touch with someone who now lives in the old pub.
I was recently doing some research at the newspaper library and came across an article in the Monmouth Advertiser of 1890, my Great Grand Uncle jumped from the garden wall of the Britannia Inn to save a drowning child from 2 Bridge Cottages Llanbadoc. Reginald Roberts was only 11 and received a commendation from the Usk Odd Fellows and a testimonial from the Royal humane Society.
I will try and sort out any other newspaper articles I have that are connected with the Britannia.

Hi Steve,

In your last message you mention that you had found both Srah and Rachel's marriage, all I have for Rachel is 1848, I would be interested to know where they married. Thanks for all this help. I have just booked lunch at the Nags Head for the Griffiths / Roberts family gathering on Sat 18th so will be able to go round the church and see if there are any more graves there.
Thanks again
Steve

Hi Steve,
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier,
thanks for the information that you have sent me, I am actually hoping to come to Usk later this month to a Griffiths family reunion, I also have to find out more information on Usk Rugby Club before I come down as I have photos' when when G. Grand father was captain in 1902.
My Dad has actually photographed most of the graves, they were all easy to find, they are just by the Church Porch, including Maud Roberts whose stone seems to be perched against other family members.
Rachel's surname was Dudley, I presume Dudley House was her family home?
and Sarah Janes was a Thomas born in llanbadoc.
You are a true gentleman to have sent me this information so far, thankyou for your trouble and I can assure you it all helps

I am having great difficulty in finding any information on my G. Great Father, he was land lord of The Dun Horse in St Ives, Cambs he died in 1925, leaving no will, there was no obituary in the local paper, and I have been unable to find any informatin about him, where would my first lead be?
Thank you

I am interested in trying to find information on the Britannia Inn in Llanbadoc, my Great Grand father was born there in 1878, I understand it is now a private house, the Roberts family then moved to Usk, again which I believe is only a very short distance away.
Thank you in advance
Steve Roberts
