Granmothers records

[valerie1]

looking for personal records of my Grandmother ,she turned to the North Wales Association for friendless Girls
in 1919 and they were of great help to her.

I would like to find the personal details she gave them but have no idea who would have these in there archives,
any ideas?

Hi Valerie,

Had a quick search on Google & finally found the following link:

http://hen.gwynedd.gov.uk/adrannau/addysg/archifau/Rhagorol/cgi-bin/listarchive.pl?archiveid=12&parentid=29964

(this is the online Gwynedd archive)

fourth entry down is "North Wales Association for the Protection of Friendless Girls and Women " !!! If you click on the linked ref number, it will take you to a page full of info !!!

Good luck
Chris

Hi Valerie,

Yes, I noticed that bit about the 100 years - since the Freedom of Information Act came in recently, I'm hoping for your sake that it will mean that the records are now opened !

Fingers crossed

Hi Chris
spoke to them today sending forms you have to pay for search   but if it bears fruit who cares
Let you know how it goes thanks so much

Hi Chris

Had a reply from the Gwynedd council today , no luck they have got the records but its written in such a way that no names are mentioned just something like a domestic servent ect.

Just my luck the 1920 April to March 1921 annual report is missing but  i dont think it would reveal much looking at the other stuff  thats written.
 
I cant belive they did'nt use any names .

Any way thanks for help

Valerie
