Glamorganshire / Washington Morgan Business
« on: Saturday 17 July 21 07:23 BST (UK)  »
On a stone memorial in Aberdare Cemetery is carved "Washington Morgan Merthyr".
I wonder if anything is known of what happened to the business, whether it was merged with another
and whether there are any records extant. I would be very pleased for any help. Toby.

There is an excellent mounted photograph which exists of club members & officials dated 1907. Every person is named which makes it so useful. (It can be seen in Swindon Flickr. Edwardian collection, last page) I wonder if anyone is aware of earlier versions? Thanks for any help. Toby.

Dorset / Corscombe Marriages
« on: Wednesday 02 June 21 12:03 BST (UK)  »
Corscombe marriage records held at the DHC end at 1837. Is this because the register is still in use or is there another reason? I should be glad to hear if anyone can explain. Thanks, Toby.

The Common Room / Chancery Chambers
« on: Saturday 15 May 21 22:09 BST (UK)  »
The Standard newspaper on 29 November 1904 reports that at 12.30 in Chancery Chambers the case of Darke v  Burkle will be heard. Can anyone advise me whether any of that case can be read anywhere? It seems that the conclusion was that a lot of property was sold off, but I have no idea for whose benefit.
Thanks for any help, Toby.

When discussing some Australian ancestors and attempting to satisfy all aspects, the phrase  'throwing a curly' came up as being a question that is difficult to answer! Can anyone make some suggestions as to where this originated?
Thanks for any help, Toby.
