Pembrokeshire / Re: can someone read this address

There is a Hoplass farm just within the parish of Rhoscrowther therefore I would suggest it is HOPLASS.
It also gives rise to the family name of HOPLA.

Pembrokeshire / Re: Welby/Whelby Family

Further to all the above, It would appear that William Morgan Welby was originally called William Welby Morgan in the 1851 Tenby Census.  On his wedding certificate he lists his father as Richard Welby, Captain in Navy but whether that is Royal or Merchant cannot be decided although looking at Navy Lists around the periods there was only one Richard Welby and he was already married and died I believe in Portsmouth.
Suggest looking in the Pembrokeshire Herald and General Advertiser on the Welsh Newspapers website and type William Welby Pembroke.
There are several instances of him either being fined, or sent to gaol for one month or so.
He appears to have been a bit of a rogue and I am also related to him, his sone Richard would be my GGF!

I would like to know if any of Sydney Webbs photographs of the cutting of the first sod of the Pembroke & Tenby Railway in 1862 still survive and if so, where can I get a copy to go with my research into that railway line.
