Thanks for the link to your Lost Earlston Facebook page. I'll have a look and so glad the photo of the Clendinnens with Asquith has surfaced.

Berwickshire / Re: CLENDINNEN in Earlston Berwickshire

Hello
My great grandmother was Jane Clendinnen of Earlston (born 1847), daughter of William and Elisabeth who weremanufacturers of the Earlston Ginghams. She married Joseph Francis of London in 1871 who lived in North London - Hornsey and Hampstead Garden Suburb, and worked for the Metrolpolitan Water Board.
On a visit to Earlston many years ago I was shwon a wonderful sample book of the Earlston Ginghams, at that time in the possession of an elderly man called John Weatherly of Melrose. I've often wondered where these are now. He also had a postcard photograph showing the Clendinnens meeting the Prime Minister Herbert Asquith on a visit to Earlston.
There's a connection with William Fairbairn the Victorian engineer and bridge buidler.
I have more information but need to look it out.
Best wishes
Jude

Carmarthenshire Completed Requests / Re: 1841-51-61 Censuses - Thomas Jeptha Jones

Do you know about the parents of David Jones: William and Mary Jones of Gilgachgan, Cilrhedin? They were the grandparents of my direct ancestor, David DAvies, because their daughter Margaret Jones married David Davies' father John David (Davies) in 1796.
The Davies were involved in fulling and dying - they had a small mill in Cwm Cych until 1805.
William Jones had a town house in Carmarthen
My cousin and I are working on the Davies family - we have collected quite a lot of information and are compiling a written family history.

I have some information about an event that occurred with this family:
This incident occurred in 1825 and is recorded on a gravestone in the churchyard of Cilrhedin (where the Jones family usually lived) and also in the Carmarthen Journal of the time:
"Sacred to the memory of William Havard Jones 2nd son of D.W. Jones, Gilvachgam by Charlotte his wife, a very promising youth articled to Thos. Jones Esqr Solicitor Carmarthen in 1822. Unfortunately he went in company with his friends about 800 yds below Carmarthen Bridge on the south side of the river Towy where they entered the tide for bathing, but he was soon sunk and though found in about 20 mins life was extinct on the 20th July 1825 aged 19 years. His parents then occupied a house in Lammas Street, Carmarthen the back premises of which joined the burying ground belonging to the Presbyterians where his remains were deposited in a bricked grave contiguous to the said premises."
