    I finally made it to the Archive!

    No perfume today, just very friendly helpful staff. I was shown the volume of medical notes, with everything ribboned off except the entry I needed. I don't think there was a guillotine waiting for...

    Saghatelyan (sometimes Saghatelian) seems to be a fairly common Armenian family name. Perhaps the ղ (voiced uvular fricative ġat-Laut) was lost in transcription. It is sometimes realised as ʁ (a...

    I can't find any talk of him enlisting in the jingoistic columns of the local papers, though. He would...

    I know. All I can find is the birth entry, 1901/11 censuses and the Mesopotamian marriage. After that, zilch. One of the Ancestry public trees is mine, and the other took the information from my...

    No, Helachau, I have not been able to check the physical Llanybydder register. I'm relying on Cofrestri Plwyf Cymru // Parish Registers of Wales, 2000, since the original registers are mouldering...

    I know from the 1841, 1851 and 1861 Censuses that my forebear David JONES (an itinerant shoemaker) was born in Llanybydder in or around 1782. He married Ann JEFFREYS on 4 October 1806 at...

    Help with transcription, please

    Here's the cause of death on the Death Certificate.

    Can anyone help with the 3rd line,...

    Glamorgan Mental Hospital, Bridgend

    Would there have been an inquest following a patient's suicide at the Mental Hospital in Bridgend in 1929? If so, where would it have been held and would it have been reported in the newspapers?

  14. James Edward RYAN (* abt 1862, † 1911)

    James Edward RYAN died in the Cape (Wynberg district) on 8 Jan 1911. Although the death record image on FamilySearch says he was 47 years old and born in England, I have good reason to believe he was...

    Re #9. Sorry, I meant to say that Watkin Watkins's will was signed on 9 February 1843, just 12 days before his death on the 21st.
