Pembrokeshire / Narberth Gas Lamps
« on: Sunday 13 March 11 20:39 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Researchers,

I've made a composite of old gas lamps appearing on old postcards and images in Narberth.  Might be of interest.

Hi Researchers,

A little more information.

Census returns for 1881-1901.

Pembrokeshire / Narberth Gas Works
« on: Sunday 13 March 11 19:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Researchers,

Narberth Museum are interested in finding any information about Narberth Gas Works.  We have details from the Census returns of the staff that worked there and a very poor photographic image of the gas holder.  I've constructed a map overlay on top of the aerial survey photograph to show where the buildings were at Narberth Bridge.

Any information appreciated.

Regards

John Lewis-Spencer

Pembrokeshire / Re: Pembrokeshire Police

Hi Researcher,

Many thanks for your very useful information.  I've had a look at the Narberth Census returns and don't think that the photograph is of  Narberth policemen.  Perhaps one of the officers lived in Narberth.  The Group has an excessive amount of senior staff and might a Pembrokeshire group.  Narberth was too small to support this amount of officers, it might even be connected to Tenby.  The Haverfordwest photograph shows even more personnel, about sixty policemen and four officers.

From 1850 to 1900 Narberth seems to have had only two members of the Constabulary in attendance.  There was a Sergeant living in the Police Station and one Constable living locally.

During the early 1900's Owen Evans was the Sergeant and James Evans was the Constable.  1890's the two were John Hart as the Sergeant and William Evans as his Constable.  Previous to that it seems that Edward Irving had a long run as the law enforcer and was Sergeant from 1860's to the later 1880's.

Thanks again for your interest and the quick response.

John

We are also interested in Narberth Gas Works and I will start another 'thread' to save mixing things up.

Pembrokeshire / Pembrokeshire Police

Hi All,

Narberth Museum has recently added this photograph to its archives.
Possibly Pembrokeshire policemen. The officer appears on a 1909 Haverfordwest police photograph.
We think that the photgraph has Narberth connections.
 Any help appreciated.

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for the contact.
Seems ages since I posted that item. Not done a lot more since!
I think that I was just guessing and trying to put together a tree from
what marriages I could find in and around East Stonehouse. 

I've just e-mailed the other three Pedrick Researchers and I will have a look at how far we
got with that branch.  I know that Alison in Australia has researched the Pedrick who was transported there.

We have a vast amount of Pedrick data which we share.   

Regards

Pembrokeshire / Frederick Nedahl Photographer
« on: Tuesday 16 February 10 19:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Zalib,

I did have a look at Frederick Nedahl some time last year. I attach a tree that I did at the time, don't know if it is correct in every aspect.

I had a chance to see one of his Cart-de-visite photographs with his name on the reverse, I've added this as well.


Regards

John

London and Middlesex / Re: Sarah Pedrick Married Henry Spencer in 1867

Hi All,
I've put together a simple Family tree that leads up to the marriage of Sarah and Henry.

Thanks for looking.

Devon / Re: PEDRICK in Devon and London

Hi Dettori,

Thanks for the contact.  We have three Pedrick researchers in the UK and one in Australia.  Together we have found lots of information post 1840, but not a lot of the earlier details. About a month ago we started again after a three or four year break.  A new look that seems to have been rewarding so far.

Thanks again for your input.

Regards

John
