Title: Thomas Thomas Schoolmaster in CWM
Post by: tisgrannie on Wednesday 17 August 05 08:14 BST (UK)
Hi, I am wondering if any one has any info of the Village, Cwm as my friend's grt Grandfather was the Schoolteacher in the late 1800's early 1900's. It would be interesting to find mentions of him or the family in any old written historical stuff. Would anyone know of any? It would be greatly appreciated.

On your list I believe the CWM is Denbighshire. Boundary changes and all that we have it as Flintshire on the Census forms.
kind regards

Hello Tisgrannie,
I found Thomas on the 1901 census aged 54 born at Bryncross and a schoolmaster at Cwm.

The Flintshire record office at Hawarden Tel 01244 532364,
should have the school records for that period and may be able to find some documentation to help you.

Good luck>  Eldon  :D

Thank you so much for your response. That is so helpful. I will contact Harwarden and see what is available. I was beginning to think I wouldn't get a response. Many many Thanks.
kind regards
