Hello everyone, I am trying to find the parents of Walton Harry EUSTON who, by the Australian certificates I have bought was born in Tryddyn in Nth Wales c1884.
   Walton's father was Wiilam EUSTON a Veterinary Surgeon and his mother was Mary (or Mabel Mary) NEWTON. Failing to find anything about Walton Harry I decided to concentrate on his parents. I have been unable to find a marriage anywhere in UK. Looking for a William EUSTON born about the right time to have children in the 1880s I found a William EUSTON age 6 on the 1851 Glamorgan census. Searching the 1861 census someone else found the same family but with surname spelled FUNSTON...I could accept this as a mis-transcription. I cannot find the family at all in 1871 Glamorgan census but I did find a 22 year old William ESTON boarding in Swansea with occupation shown as a scholar. So far I have not been able to establish what he was studying. An email to the Swansea University revealed that it didn't open until 1910, so I have no idea where he was studying.
   The only other clue I have came from a 1896 Glamorgan Directory showing William EUSTON Veterinary Surgeon with an address and phone No.
   I am hoping someone might be researching similar names and could perhaps help me out or that SKS might know of resources to search that I have not yet come across. To try to identify William as a Vet I emailed several Vet Colleges and the Vet Registration Board with no success. I have also put a Letter To The Editor in The Leader Newspaer in Mold (which covers Tryddyn) and got one reply from a very nice woman but unfortunately she found no more than me.

Kind Regards

Hello Everyone, I'd like to suggest something totally off the beaten path, in the form of an original poem written by yourself. I'd like to start it off with this one I wrote for my father when he was down in the dumps.

Kind Regards

THE PENNY

As I walked my dog today, I saw this penny along the way.
I picked it up and I must say, it’s of the year of your birthday.
I looked at this penny & thought of you, & how you were feeling very blue.
I’m sure this penny was overdue for some TLC just like you.

I realized this penny needed aid and you are the person ready-made
To show this penny it’s own true worth, I know you’re up to all the work.
If every time you’re feeling glum just rub this penny with your thumb.
As you rub away the grime I’m sure you’ll find the change sublime.

For as the penny looks like new you’ll be proud it was because of you.
And with this pride I’m sure you’ll find a real good feeling in your mind.
This good feeling is quite catching and pretty soon you’ll be despatching
Great big smiles to people many, because of this…. your lucky penny.

Hello, looking in a CD directory I bought I came across a possible near match for my GGF at Maes-Y-Dro or someting similar. Google maps cant find it. It should be in the Tryddyn/Mold area of Flintshire if anyone is able to help. It may also be that it is an address with Maes-Y-Dro being a street. I have tried to attach a copy.

Hello I am searching for Walton Harry Euston born c1880 in Tryddyn to William Euston (veterinary surgeon) and Mary Euston nee Newton. Walton moved to Aust in about 1904 & married Ella Gertrude Smith in 1917. They had 3 children (1920, 1923, 1927) before Walton died in Melbourne on 6.1.1930. I was wondering if anyone knows of a register of Veterinary surgeons in about the 1870's???        Any help however tenuous would be greatly appreciated.
With Kindest Regards Peter Euston
