Gwynedd memories
Llandrygan
I was born and bred in Llandrygarn, I lived at Cwter Hywel, I've really only got good memories of my childhood living in Llandrygarn, when you consider that you had to make your own entertainment.
My friends were a group of lads including Sion Tryfil, Arwel Cwm, Neil and Dylan Llynfaes. Apologies if I left anyone out! The fact that Sion lived on a farm meant there was never a shortage of activities and adventures, everything from self-made obstacle courses to carrying hay bales at Ynys Stodyn, as we grew older these adventures including climbing at Gwyndy quarry which with hindsight is something I wouldn't my encourage my kids to do un-assisted now. Obviously hardly anyone ever dared to go to Gwyndy ruins, what with its tales of haunted headless dogs complete with rattling chains!
Den making, fighting the 'Germans', running, and ditch-jumping also proved high on the agenda and you wouldn't dream of leaving the house without your trusty penknife, for nothing more malicious than to cut... Read more
Tracing Family, WARING/STOCKER/LEWIS
I am trying to trace my family tree, my father was Alan Waring, his brothers were Gillie and Wally Waring. There was a sister called Dulcie Waring, she married GERALD LEWIS and they had a son called Gerald, I was told he was living in the Anglesey area and may still live there. I would love to get in contact with him and find out more about my family. Hope to hear from anyone who can help.
1960s
We moved to the village in 1967 and lived in Garden Lane and Plas Maen. I have fond memories of the old school and childrens clubs in the village hall. I well remember when the fish and chip shop first opened in the village and people came from far and wide, not only for the chips but to stare at Jimmy the owner because he was the first coloured man that they had ever seen!
Life in The Village
Was wonderful to see this postcard, as I was a child of 7 living in the village, when the photo.was taken. When we moved to the village in 1954 there was no electricity, water was from the village pump and people used chemical or earth closets. In 1960, there was mains water and electricity but no proper sanitation. I have wonderful memories of living in the village, playing in the fields and having easy access to the beach. I have visited the village quite a few times in the past 10 years and have met up with old child hood friends.
Looking For Family
I am trying to carry out a family tree with the surname Jones, it is difficult! I know there was an Elizabeth who went to Wrexham for a time. I do not know whether she returned home and would like to know more about her and her family. Anyone out there - I believe I was named after her. I wonder if there are any family members still living there and what happened to Elizabeth.
Thank Goodness For Ancestors.
To date I have not visited Llangefni. My Grandmother Ann Williams was born there, in 1869. Her Mother's name was Ellen Edwards, born Amlwych c1848. fathers name was Rowland Williams. Hopefully my Husband and I will be able to see, and spend some time in this beautiful part of Wales. My Mother was born in Merthyr Tydfil, so I am proud to say "I am Welsh too". Have a lovely day, and God Bless. Jeanette
Please Help!
Hi! I have recently been researching into my family history, and I came across a photograph dated to around the early 1870s in my home. On the back it read Wm Hughes photographer and oil painter in Llangefni and Amlwch on Sundays (something along those lines, I haven't got the photograph with me at the moment for reference). Does anyone know anything about this man? I have googled and googled to find information to no avail! I do believe there is a William Hughes House in Llangefni, is that some sort of connection? Any help would be great! I am relatively local so I know the surrounding area well. Thanks, Rach
