London and Middlesex / Coates and Coopers
« on: Monday 23 August 21 10:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi can anyone remember Coates and Coopers in West Drayton, Middlesex back in 1950s/1960s.
My sister worked there and sadly has recently passed away.  I am trying to find out where they were in W.D. and what they made.
Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

Wales Resources / Bwllfa Colliery Cwmdare Glamorgan
« on: Tuesday 25 August 20 11:18 BST (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me if there is any buildings remaining for the Bwllfa Colliery.
As a child in the early 1950s I can remember walking from my grandparents house in Bwllfa
Road (where my father was born) to the 'pit head' and going into a building with very clean sparkling machinery almost like museum pieces.  I know my grandfather worked there and I also believe my great grandfather (my grandmothers father) worked there.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Somerset / Benjamin Griffin - Clifton, Somerset
« on: Sunday 19 February 17 11:17 GMT (UK)  »
Benjamin Griffin my 4 x g.grandfather marries Ann Patrick in 1807 in Harbourne, Staffordshire and appears to live out the remainder of his life in Birmingham Warwickshire, dying August 1851.
On the 1851 census it states he is 67, a gardener and was born in CLIFTON, SOMERSET.  I can find no record of any baptism.  Are there records for Clifton?  What other places are near there that could be suitable places of baptism?
Any help would be gratefully received.

Somerset / Francis Turner and Mary Rice
« on: Monday 06 February 17 10:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
After many years of following the wrong leads, I have just established my 4th.g.grandfather who I knew was James Turner parents were not who I thought they were and   I now realize they were Francis Turner and Mary Rice married 10/7/1796 in Bridgwater.   I can find no other info on them.
I also know James was bap, 28/1/1801 and that he married Ruth Brown 29/1/1825 in Bridgwater.
Ruth was buried 11/6/1860 in Bridgwater.  I have copies of 1841, 1851 census were they have been transcribed as FURNER and JENNER instead of TURNER.  I cannot find James in 1861 but have him again in 1871.  Other than that I can find no trace of Francis, Mary or Ruth being baptised or death.  Any leads would be most gratefully received.

Hi,
Help, my g.g.g.grandmother Charlotte Trapnell died aged 91 7.2.1894. in Bridgwater.  I have found a baptism for her in Broomfield 8.2.1803, parents Joseph and Mary.  I cannot find a marriage for these two, and cannot find a baptism for Joseph, and as I do not have Marys maiden name I cannot find her birth o baptism.  I have been looking for these for so long now with no success.
Any help or leads would be much appreciated.
Thanks Val
