World War Two / Help with booklet
« on: Wednesday 24 June 20 21:23 BST (UK)  »
I have come across a small booklet  with the title UK port and staff travel 1939-1945 on the inside is a list of names and addresses of various people from all over Britain and a few overseas ones and at the back of the booklet is a list of areas of the UK and the names of people for that area ..reason I'm asking in this form is that my grandfather is named in it and during ww2 he was with the intelgence corps based in Holyhead  and I assume it something to do with that ..

Anglesey / Re: TRANSLATION
« on: Sunday 08 January 12 18:53 GMT (UK)  »
Can't do all of this as have misplace my welsh dictionary and some words indistinct btu here goes::-

Here is buried John Griffiths of Plas LLanfair who died on the 29th may in the year 1798  aged ? and also John Griffiths, his wife and/or son Mrs Griffiths Grifiths who died March 27th 1820.His age was 1 year 5 months. then a verse      Ioan was the baby of my life
              Lost Forever
              worst day ever???
              and very short was his life.

Very loose translation but think this is the gist of it
             
         
             


found an online translation thing and the word eiwyr turns out to be grandson ,
 so to me it now reads the same as yours but with and also john griffiths his grandson son of griffith griffiths

does that make sense

ps
the date for his death looks more like 1826 than 1820 ,as i have now found a record for  the christening/baptism for the grandson ( dec 1824 ) which would tie in with the 15 months of his young age
