The Common Room / Re: finding a church in wales
« on: Thursday 29 January 09 16:24 GMT (UK)  »
Crockfords Clerical Directory first published in 1858 lists all Clergy and their c.v. www.crockford.org.uk and has a historical data base. I don't know if it will include lay preachers. It may be some help. Remember that what is now The Church in Wales was Church of England before 1923.
 If it was South Wales he was more likely to be a nonconformist perhaps a Methodist or a Baptist.

Thanks for keeping up the interest. I am expecting something in the post in the next few days. Once they had agreed to release the file I had to wait a few days until it became available then I had to get an estimate of the copying cost. Then to apply for it ,so it's all taken some time. Our post here out in the wilds of Wales doesn't come until about 11am. Hope I wont be dissapointed when it comes.

It's the same team that lived 12 months 17th century style in Tales from the Green Valley.

According to the Radio Times the programme was filmed over a year in Shropshire on an estate in Acton Scott, (presumably they don't mean a housing estate).

[/qu Acton Scott is a wonderful place, it is a sort of farming museum near Church Stretton. It is run as a farm with animals and life as it was  in Victorian times

 - interestingly in 1910 there's at 28 Balls Road a hairdresser - R. Paul.
I am not sure who that is but it is probably Gustav using an English name probably for business purposes. He did seem to use variations of his full name which was Rudolph Gustav Paul Heise.

UPDATE
I have just received an e mail from TNA to say that the document regarding Sara Jane Heise (Paul) Nationality and Naturalisation: re admission is to be released and will be available from January 15 th.

As I live 200 miles from Kew I will have to order a copy so I expect it will be a couple of weeks before I know any thing. But it is progress.

I still want to know what happened to the rest of the family i. e his parents Julius and Bertha. Also brother Ernest and his wife Ellen plus their children twins Max and Millicent born in Birkenhead in 1903 and Joan born in Kensington in 1921! I find it odd that there are no records of marriages for any of them.

Incidentally Ernest was an assistant hairdresser on all the certificates I have so he did not progress very far. apart from his possible war service which I must pursue. Whereas Gustav was an assistant hairdresser at his marriage but on Sarah's death certificate he was a Master Hairdresser.  WOW!
If Gustav had syphilis and infected the baby Julius Paul who died at 28 days why was Sarah not infected?

Hello everyone
Just to keep things going.
Still waiting, but not really patiently for news from TNA.
In an idle moment I spent some time going through the Telephone directories on Ancestry and found MRS S PAUL , 28 BALLS ROAD, BIRKENHEAD. ( Ladies and children's hairdresser) From 1923 to 1933. So it would seem she went under both names because when she applied for re nationalisation she used the name SARAH JANE HIESE.
I wonder if she ever changed her name officially by deed poll. Would there be any records of that anywhere.
Edith married in Dec 1923 from 28 Balls Road, Fathers name Paul Heise (Hairdresser) in he presence of Sarah Heise and Florence Heise .

Happy New Year All

 So glad to here that WDYTYA is coming back. I think it would be good to use ordinary people like us instead of celebrities. You just have to look through some of these posts to see what interesting things come up.
