Buckinghamshire / Re: Cadmore End Churchyard
« on: Today at 04:49 »
You possibly know already, there is a detailed newspaper item about the consecration of the addition to the churchyard of Cadmore End in 1887, including a little on the history. Happy to copy the article if you don't have access.

Denbighshire / Re: Llwyngwyn

Perhaps William can point us to the original reference?

There is a Bryngwyn Hall in Tremeirchion, Denbighshire.

Welcome to RootsChat from me too.

I think "French". You can see that the "F" is very similar to this:

London and Middlesex / Re: Times newspaper 22nd December 1930

page 15 has marriage descriptions, but no photos. Page 16 has various photos, but none of a wedding.  :-\

What name were you after - happy to copy the notice.

Modified to add:
One of the marriage descriptions says there were 2 boys in sailor suits. Lieutenant Pierre WAUD and Sybell Ernest SANGER. This is probably the wedding you mean. Happy to copy the article for you. Send me a pm.  :D

Denbighshire / Re: Llwyngwyn

Lots of mentions of Llwyngwyn in newspapers, which I guess is the name of multiple farms in Wales. though there are none in Denbighshire on Welsh Tithe Maps.

There is this Llwyngwyn near Rudry, but I think that is in Glamorgan:

Many mentions of Llwyngwyn in Denbigh newspapers, but they are in Welsh, so I can't read them.

Do you have a name associated with the place?

If you look at FreeBMD, there are 3 Colin A SMITHs born in Mar qtr 1955 (and 7 without a middle initial).

Also this one, looks like the same person Comberton linked to:

Other Countries / Re: Henry Pyne East India Merchant Calcutta 1790's

If you search the fibis database, even for "exact match" of PYNE, you will find very many matches. Not all will be related to Henry PYNE, it is a fairly common name.
