Montgomeryshire / Re: Woosnam of Llandinam/Llangurig

Hi Ruthiemary

Please forgive me for such a long delay. I stopped the family search when my grandchildren started appearing! Now five children later I dip into my search from time to time. This is my sister-in-law's search. Christine is interested and some years ago we went to Mid Wales to search for her ancestors and had such an exciting time and were very successful. Did you find Francis and Hannah's grave? We did so if you're still searching I'm happy to try to remember where we found it.

Thank you all. Those stories are fascinating! I'm so glad I asked the question.

It's very strange that even though I have several of my father's war documents with his number quite clearly written and his rank and his unusual name, I still cannot find him on any of the sites which are supposed to help us.

Very strange

Thank you so much Philip. This makes so much sense. The attitude of the Army should have been obvious to me. I have various documents from his war years and the very first leave recorded was Jan 1941. So that is a good seven months after Dunkirk!
Thank you very much for your help.

Thank you Viktoria. I am proud of him. He didn't want to talk about it though. Just like many many others.

Thanks both. During Lockdown I've been writing the stories of my parents' lives. My father survived Dunkirk so going systematically through it I wondered whether he'd have been allowed home. Thanks for those tips Viktoria. It is feasable that they would have to muster.

World War Two / After Dunkirk

Hi all
Can someone tell me what happened to the soldiers who returned to Ramsgate from Dunkirk. I know that there were trains waiting for them when they disembarked but where did they go in those trains? It would be nice to think that they were allowed home to recover.
Thank you

Cymraeg - Welsh Language / Re: Cofnodion capeli anghydffurfiol

Helo Huwcyn
Y broblem fwyaf gyda'r Capeli yw fod llawer ohonnyn nhw yn cadw'i Llyfrau Cofnodi yn y capeli, naill ai mewn 'safe' neu mewn rhyw focs yn y capel. Mae'r llyfrau yma yn rhai mawr ac felly yn cymryd blynyddoedd i'w llanw. Efallai fod yna fwy nag un llyfr mewn capel. Does dim reidrwydd i unrhyw swyddogion capel i roi'r llyfrau yma mewn Archifdy. Rydyn ni'n ffodus iawn pan fydd rhyw ysgrifennydd mewn capel yn sylweddoli y gallai'r llyfrau yma fod yn fwy diogel mewn Archifdy na mewn capel.

Thank you Roger. I haven't thought of tracing his roots. Too many grandchild minding duties I think! Thanks so much.

I did find Catherine on the 1911 census living in Coed Madog Ucha, Talysarn with her husband John Hugh Williams and two young children, Hugh and Mary. Taking into consideration Mabel's findings that she attended her twin brother's wedding in February 1917 when she lived in Cae Mawr, Talysarn she was obviously more than 18 when she died. Would you believe we have actually stayed at Cae Mawr which is a lovely b&b now.
If someone has time I wonder if you could find her death as Catherine Williams of Cae Mawr please?
Thanks so much
