Glamorganshire / Mestear
« on: Sunday 07 November 21 20:23 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder whether any fellow RootsChatters have come across the name 'Mestear'  in their family history studies - is it a common name used in Wales perhaps??  Would appreciate any information, many thanks :)

Somerset / School for Young Ladies Newbridge Hill Bath
« on: Saturday 28 July 18 20:45 BST (UK)  »
I wonder if anyone can help with my query.........there is a building in Newbridge Hill, Bath, which has the inscription painted on the front wall which reads  'School for Young Ladies'.  Any information leading me to discover the origin of this establishment would help enormously....thank you. :)

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Harry Mestear Holland
« on: Monday 11 September 17 20:29 BST (UK)  »
I admit to being stumped with this name.....he was born in 1891, married in Swansea in 1924 but I have no idea where he came from......I have checked the 1891, 1901 and 1911 census but have drawn a blank.  Any help would be most appreciated  :)

Stirlingshire / sisters - Margaret Keopky and Florence Jenkins b Swansea 1877 and 1881
« on: Tuesday 04 April 17 19:55 BST (UK)  »
These two ladies (my great aunts) have proved very difficult to track down....in my family history researches.  However....today some information has come to light stating that both ladies went to Scotland to live.....Stirling apparently..   A long shot I realise but would any posters to this board have information (anything really!) which would help me to pinpoint their whereabouts at long last :)  I have my fingers crossed....

London and Middlesex / Ezekiel Hedges
« on: Wednesday 24 February 16 20:42 GMT (UK)  »
I have reached a brick wall in my search for a marriage or death of this person.....he was born in Swansea in 1900 but was listed in the 1911 census as living  with his family in Tottenham.  Any help in tracing some information would be appreciated :)  Thank you in anticipation..

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Potham House
« on: Monday 18 January 16 21:13 GMT (UK)  »
I have an ancestor who was a footman in Potham House, Newton Valence in 1861......I can find no record of a 'Potham House' yet the census of 1861 lists a number of staff.  I would be grateful if anyone could throw any light on this query....many thanks in anticipation :)

The Common Room / presentation plaque
« on: Wednesday 27 February 13 20:44 GMT (UK)  »
An item has come into my possession which ideally I would wish to return to relatives - it concerns a brass plaque which had obviously been screwed onto a box perhaps - it was presented to Mr DE Davies by St Nicholas Church Swansea in grateful acknowledgement of valuable serives rendered as choirmaster.  It is dated Easter 1913.
Any information would be gratefully received :)
