ELLIS TABLE WATERS RUTHIN
TRYING TO FIND ANY INFORMATION OR PHOTOS OF MY GREAT GRANDADS FACTORY ?
Clwyd Sanatorium
My grandmother's father had TB and there are letters from him to my grandmother from Clwyd Sanatorium Llan Bedr Hall, Ruthin, North Wales. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about this place or had any photos. Sadly he returned home and died between 1916 - 1918.
Happy Holidys
1942-1955 - my very happy annual holiday from London with my Nain & Taid (Hannah & John Roberts) at Dystell House in Llanwrog. We used to carry water from the" pistyll" at the top of the field and where Captain their horse grazed. Prior to moving to Dystell House they farmed at "Galchog", my Uncle Dafydd and Auntie Liza took it over afterwards. My cousins, Albert and Henry, used to take me for milkshakes at the "Milk Bar" in the square and my Uncle Ted (their father) would take me to the cattle market which used to fascinate me coming from a "city". Happy memories! Nain moved eventually to 27 Borthyn, where we still went for our holidays. I can remember "Hafod" Dairies and the lovely Flower Shows, and Tom Edwards who was a postman and friendly with my Auntie Dinah. Also walks through "The Warren" from Galchog down to Pwll Glas Golf course and then back via Mwrog Street. My Taid died in 1946 & Nain... Read more
Shoemaker, Well Street, Ruthin
Anybody have any information on my third great grandfather and grandmother Thomas Davies born in Llanbedr abt 1832 and Mary Davies born abt 1837 in Upton, Liverpool He was a shoemaker in Well Street, Ruthin. They had a son and a daughter Mary Jane, and Robert Owen Davies. Mary Jane is my second great grandmother. I know Thomas' father was Hugh Davies and Jane Davies from Llanbedr. I have no idea how Mary Davies (nee Jones) came to live in Ruthin and marry Thomas, and all I know is that she stated on census that she was born in Upton, Liverpool. I don't know what happened to Mary Jane's brother Robert Owen Davies born 7th December 1868 either, he was on the census 1901 aged 32 and living with my widowed 3rd great grandmother at 7 Llanrhydd Street. Would love to have info as to what happened to Robert, and any info on Mary Davies.
My Childhood in Merllyn Cyffylliog
My parents lived in Merllyn from 1947 till 1996 when they had to leave. An idyllic childgood with many characters about....Dic Dun who wnadered about and slept in hedges, a fascination to a child. Will Tom from Glan yr afon who was a mine of information to all. Tic, a southerner, a mystery man who lodged at Nanw Jones. Cyril Jones, my friend Hafwen Dad. Bryn Williams who was the minister and had a lovely voice. I live out of the village and lived next to Fachlwyd Hall which was empty most of my young childhood, which to a imaginative child was full of mystery and lovely plants in the gardens.....tennis courts and stables with the remains of tobbacco plants drying in the out-houses, also kennels. Later our good freinds "The Smiths" lived there. John Hughes and Aunty Bess and their son Ifor lived at Fachlwyd Farm and Ivor and Hywel lived at Fachlwyd Ucha where we used to get fresh butter and real... Read more

Childhood Memories
I used to stay with my nain in Clawddnewidd and have very fond memories. Mrs Watson lived next door and used to pop in every night with some fruit for us. At that time there was a top shop run by Mr Lake and his wife, they were always so nice to us. We used to go to the chapel for service and my nain and a few other villagers used to pluck pheasants. My Uncle Emrys lived in Nant Farm and used to call at nain's every morning with fresh milk from the farm. We went on many walks picking rasberries for nain to make a pie but my favourite was always her ginger cake. I was told never to go to the pond at the bottom of the village as it had a whirlpool in it but of course I had to find out. Once a year there was a show and my nain always dressed up in her Welsh lady outfit. I still visit Clawdd now to... Read more
