Hi Chris

Strange you should be looking at Soloman ...I was doing the exact same thing this morning ....a watchmaker  ...tatally different from the master mariner stuff ...

I was trying to see if there was any wills...I wonder if Solman ever got married ? I wonder if we can find anything on his shop.? I'm off to have a bit of a g**gle.

Feeling much better , thanks for asking.

Hi deb,

Nothing on Soloman in the Cambrian newspaper.

Thanks for looking, Chris 

I have been able to locate Marine Terrace and High Terrace ....but nothing else . Nothing on Solomon wither ...

Chris ...If they all lived in New Quay all their lives ... there should be many graves for them .... do you know anything about the churches and cemetaries there?

Thanks again for helping me out!

Hi Chris

That's great!!! looks like St Domingo Rd ...had to scroll back a few pages 

Funnily enough , My grandad Philip Thomas James (1919) was born in Everton, Liverpool.

The watchmaker occupation seems to be creeping in more .
