Have just read this thread and find this story of Joseph Guest and Cae Clogyn or Clogwyn very interesting..... Joseph Guest is my Great Grandmothers brother and ive never heard of this before. Its all very interesting!! I have been looking if I can obtain a copy of the North Wales Guardian and London Gazette for this time but cannot find anything. If anybody could let me know how to get hold of it and have any other information I would be extremely grateful.
Regards

Hi Julie, I think we've been in touch via GenesReunited a few years ago?
Your great grandmother, Eleanor "Ellen" Kirkham (nee Guest) married 2nd husband Thomas "Tom" Henry Ernest Gould (who was my great granduncle, for he was brother to my great grandfather, Herbert William Gould.... we have a case of two brothers marrying two sisters,.. well, half-sisters).
I have Ellen and Tom's children down as Doris and Thomas Ernest "Ernie" Gould. Was Doris your grandmother, and were her children: Constance Gould Ankers, Ronald Gould Ankers, and Frank Gould Ankers? Which line do you descend from?
That bit that Wilcoxon mentioned:
I found a report in another paper, she threatened to throw a bucket of manure over David Roberts, again a gun was involved.
I must have been like the Wild West up Cymmau way .
was very interesting!
