Caernarvonshire / Re: Can anyone decipher thes place names please!

Which church was used for the baptism? As you say it was from the Capel Curig register I would suggest a house nearby. It is unlikely they would travel more than a few miles in late December to baptise a baby.

Could I just add that it was usual in rural areas in those days that the vicar/curate would go around the parish and baptise the child in the parents' home.

It looks as if it's on the cusp, Carol, unless it was old stock  :)

I've just noticed that the corners are rounded. The link that I gave in my previous post suggests that if  ~

it has rounded corners (1870s to 1900) or square corners (after 1900)

I think it looks circa 1900 and it must be before 1906 as, when I looked at the records  (1901),  he  was born c. 1844  and died Q1 1906.

Add - just read that cabinet cards are rarely found after 1906?

1841 Census she describes herself (in occ col as Widow)
1851 -do- as hosier's widow

Nothing in the Scottish burials, 1829-1855, but only a small % are recorded.

Nothing in the family column, Arthur. I've not come across the spouse described as widower on Scots  death certs previously, unless they are the widow/widower of the deceased.  They were either alive or dead - i.e. widow/er or deceased not both.
 
Deceased and Deserted have a similar form and this entry is not as clear as the others. 

It could be that he had deserted  her but the informant didn't know whether he was alive or not  so entered both??

So far no deaths found but, if he was a sock/hosiery salesman, he could have been anywhere in SW or the borders  :-\

Add - Informant was her sister in law, Mary Calvert.

I don't think you read what I said.

 I said, the other entries on the page have Deceased marked clearly without widow/widower. This one is Widower and then ?Deserted . There is no mention of Deceased in the entry.

See this example of Deceased. You can't have Widower who is deceased!
