Looking for Rob
My name is Margaret Wynne. I am writing this on behalf of my sister Christine Jones (nee Parrington) who was a nurse at St Asaph Hospital in the 70's and there was a fellow in St Asaph named Robert (Rob) who was interested in my sister and she would like to contact him again. They used to see each other in pubs. All she can remember is that he was a council worker (refuse collector). Christine married Peter Jones and they lived in Rhuddlan. I would be grateful if anyone knows Rob or if Rob himself contact me.

coming home from China
Elias and Polly Owen came home from Shanghaiand lived at No 3 Elwy Viewand Iwas able to aquaint myself with all my St. Asaph family and see them for the first time, she only lived a few months and then Elias packed up and went off to Australia, but I remember it well, I had three families there, my mother was from the Palace Lodge, the Halleys in Central Buildings and the Owens from the Red Lion,so between them all family history became alive to a child from Brynymaen.

Extracts From St Asaph & Clwyd books
This city (with the smallest cathedral in Britain) stands above the confluence of the River Clwyd and its tributary the Elwy. St Asaph was named after its second bishop, and the present town was founded in Saxon times. This view across the 18th-century bridge looks past the gate to the Bishop's palace and up to the cathedral. This scene is virtually unchanged today.
