I`m glad Tom thought on, and saved the original pic from Ebay, they do get taken off after a while, and of course we didn`t have the option of adding pictures then.

Hi, Just an update on the old pic as I have been very reliably informed the man on the pic is the Cemetery Superintendent Mr John Richards a miner who was injured in the mines and given a part time job. Later upgraded to full time. I believe his headstone is LW img 9545 and the inscription mentions he and his wife were buried together on 19 6 1931 John died 15 6 1931 aged 84 yrs and Jane died 17 6 1931 aged 81 yrs and he is actually wearing his uniform in the pic. maybe a census check would prove I have the right people Tom
I`ve put a booklet ` Childhood Memories of Bradley` onto this site. It was compiled about 15 years ago, and I`ve never seen another copy, it was never for sale, and I think it was just put together by a group of local people. It`s been in my hands for about 5 years and I thought I`d share it with you.

Ancestry has recently completed the update of it's online Service Records.
I had been waiting a long time to check W but am extremely happy to say I found my grandfather (no known connection to Wales whatsoever but wanted to say I am over the moon)

Re: PENYGELLI SCHOOL ONLINE !!!!!!!!!!!! « Result #14 on Nov 2, 2009, 6:44pm »
Aaw come on, you`re making me blush . It`s not quite finished yet though, they have been sent away to be illustrated and have little touches added here and there. I can`t wait to see this, it`s something I could never do myself. When it`s all finally done the whole lot will be replaced on Scribd . How long it will take I don`t know, it`s out of my hands now. Thanks to everyone else who has helped. Now what can we do next
Poor Law Conference, Wrexham, 1899 « Result #17 on Nov 2, 2009, 10:02am »
On 20 and 21 September 1899, the 15th Annual Poor Law Conference for the North Wales District was held at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, Wrexham.
A full account of the proceedings (papers presented, discussion, etc.) can be found at www.archive.org (click on Texts, then use the Search facility). There is also a list of the Unions represented and the delegates - plenty of names from Wrexham and the surrounding area. It's part of a volume which contains reports of all the Poor Law Conferences held between May 1899 and March 1900.
Incidentally, the site also has a copy of an 1888 translation into English by James Harris of "Rhys Lewis", by Daniel Owen.
With the help of Eluned and Curlew1, I have finished the Girls School logs, there is still some more information on the teachers to be added, but in the meantime take a look and see what you think. They are not as interesting as the Boys School, and 1889/1915 has been very much edited, I have left all names in as they may be of interest to some of you.
