I remember stumbling across that page ages ago & whilst guessing it had a connection to my family tree I didn't know how it fitted in. The pieces only fell into place after looking into William Henry at your prompting so thanks to you too.

Regards,
Mark

Hi Pat

He was there in 1911 but I don't know when he arrived. I gather that Dartmoor Prison Records no longer exist from that period but assuming he faced trial in Glamorgan then records would be held in the Glamorgan Record Archive so I plan to make a visit at some point. Judging by the Western Mail I'd imagine there's quite a lot of material!

I also found an article in The Times 30 Jan 1923 where a 3 year sentence he'd received for housebreaking had been quashed.

If I obtain any more info I'll pass it on.

Regards,
Mark

Now I have another question. One of the last Heathfields in Glamorgan that I can't account for is Winifred M Heathfield, born 1915 in Cardiff. The mother's maiden name is listed as Heathfield which I took as meaning that the mother was unmarried. However I've just traced a marriage to Samuel R Anning in Cardiff 1934 and the bride is entered twice - once as Winifred M Heathfield & once as Winifred M Hasell?
Likely to be another child of Emma's if not William's?

Cheers,
Mark
