Cardiganshire / Elizabeth Ann Evans - Accident (Frodeg, Tanygroes, Cardiganshire)
« on: Monday 27 March 23 16:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi All

You have been so helpful in the past so I thought I'd see if you can shed any light on this for me.

My Great Aunt Elizabeth Ann Evans  (also known as Lizzie-Ann or Lissie-Ann) died 1st March 1972.  She was born Blaenporth January 1906
My dad was told she stepped out from behind a bus and unfortunately was run over.    He was at uni at the time and remembers coming back home.

I'm trying to find a newspaper article about it or some information.   I'm struggling to find newspapers around 1972 - is this because they are still in living memory of people?

Wales / American Set
« on: Sunday 02 February 20 21:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all
I don’t know if any of you can help at all, we found my Mamgu’s wedding list the other day.  (They got married about 1931 in cilgerran). 
We found the usual towels and things listed as wedding presents but she also listed 2 gifts of American Sets,  we cannot for the life of us work out what this might be.

Any ideas?

Hi All

In 1911 we have found my husband GGrandparents living in 1 Joel Place, Chadderton (Busk), Oldham.   Now I've tried looking on old maps and just generally googling it but as of yet we cannot locate where Joel Place is.
Can anyone point me in the direction ?

Thanks in advance   :) :)

Staffordshire / The Grange, Upper Longdon
« on: Tuesday 07 March 17 15:21 GMT (UK)  »
I don't know if anyone can help, we have a bit of a mystery (which my brother is driving me daft with)

My parents live in an area called the Grange in upper longdon, we know these houses were built in the 1960's but the previous house appears to be a mystery.

We know it was quite a big property and had tennis courts at some stage.
There is also a farm connected to  the building and the road next to the area is called after the Grange.

We have found a Douglas Thomas Seckham living in the house in 1937  and before that it was a Francis Forster (Who died 1930) but we would like to find out who built the house and when and if there are any surviving photos of it.

We also know that there used to be a tunnel from the Grange to the Priory down the road.

Any help would be great (I'm even struggling to find it on Ancestry)

Thank you

Hi I'm looking for a

Sarah Ann Davies   now for some reason we have her date of birth to be 30th June 1880 but looking at census records we think it should have been in 1877. 

Her parents are Evan Davies and Eleanor Phillips she would have been born probably in Moylgrove pembrokeshire

I'd like to be able to order her birth certificate if anyone can help me
