The Common Room / Davies's - Penygelli & Upper Aldress - Churchstoke area

Hi

I am researching Richard Robert Davies b 1875 in Wales - originally at penygelli in wales, later of upper aldress, and very later blackmoor at Westbury.

Richard Roberts father was Thomas, and his mother was Susan (*nah). I can't find Susannahs death anywhere but she does not appear to be on the 1901 census.

Anyone would would like to help go back further is very welcome

Clare  :P

The Common Room / Help - Travel abroad
« on: Thursday 15 July 10 18:53 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I know that Richard Robert Davies b 1875 travelled to america in 1893 - I am looking how to find information about when/how he may have travelled back and what he did over there. I have a diary from him that says he went to Speedwell Farms in Lyndonville Vermont - but I can't find what that was. It appears to be a Uni now?

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Shropshire / More Arms/Temperance Hotel, NrMinsterley - Shropshire
« on: Thursday 15 July 10 18:25 BST (UK)  »
Hi

I know from the 1911 Census that my Great great grandmother was a farmer at the Temperance Hotel in More, and that latterly, from at least 1930 it was referred to as More Arms (although she wasn't still there then). I cannot for the life of me find any other reference to the Temperance Hotel - other than pictures which I have of people with Temperance Hotel on the wall. Her name was Emma Gittins and I am trying desperately to find any info n this - I believe the temperance movement renounced alcohol - although I thought this was more an american thing.
Thanks
