Find Ancestors

Hello LadyKira

Long time no see. Thank you so much for the video clip, it bought tears to my eyes. I must see if I can add it to my Legacy programme and maybe even show it to my genealogy group.

I wonder if Mary Owen is related to the the family in some way. One day I will get back into the genealogy, working full time now and not doing anything at all, boo hoo!!!

Thankyou so much again for thinking of me.

Kind regards

Linda :-)

I think he would have approved since he made special provision for his nephew.

Hi LK
Fantastic news about the Clock Tower, I will email my Uncle.

Clocktower building in Mostyn to reopen
Jul 8 2010 by Eleanor Barlow, Flintshire Chronicle

A COMMUNITY building which has been unused since the charity which owned it went bust is to open its doors again.

Care worker Diane Roberts is planning to open the Clocktower building Mostyn, formerly known as the Robert Davies Memorial Hall, as a life skills centre and residential facility for people with learning difficulties.

She said: “We used to have dance classes in the building and I always thought it would be perfect for this type of thing.

“It was upsetting to see such a great facility just sitting there empty when I knew there was so much I could do with it.”

Diane plans to use the building, at the back of the site to provide residential facilities for respite and long term care for people with learning difficulties, particularly autism.

The main building will be open to the general public and will have a cafe and learning centre.

“People who are staying with us will be able to work in the cafe and gain employment skills,” said Diane.

“We’re hoping the centre will be a stepping stone toward independent living.”

Diane currently works for Complete Care and Enablement at Parys Mine Lodge in Greenfield Valley.

The Clocktower, on the A548 coast road, had been owned by performing arts charity The Broli Cymraeg Trust, which went into administration in June 2009.

Diane hopes to have the centre up and running by October.

Sensory rooms and a hydrotherapy pool will be among the facilities installed in the building and Diane also hopes to use it for dance and drama workshops.

She said: “Hopefully we’ll be able to use the building to do what it was intended to and it’ll be something everyone in the community can enjoy.”

There are at least 10 Owen Owens 1811 Anglesey on 1841 census so you would need to be sure

This is Donald's mother.

I think this is most likely Donald senior

That is certainly looking good .
I found a site last night by googling Amlwch that gave all the trade directories. Lost it when the internet went down.

I thought this looked interesting

Hi LK

No I don't have the marriage certificate for Frances Thompson.

Thought I'd share this with you from a lady from the Curious Fox site.

Today at Anglesey County Archives, I searched the Amlwch parish registers and found the following information:

Amlwch Register of Marriage WPE/34/17

Robert Davis of this parish, Bachelor and Margaret Owen of this parish, spinster, were married in this church by Banns with consent of ……………….. this twenty fifth day of December in the year One Thousand Eight hundred and Twenty Nine.

By me, William Johnson, Curate

This marriage was solemnised between us:
Robert Davis (the mark of) X Margaret Owen (the mark of) X

In the presence of: Owen Owens and Richard Owen


Also

Owen Owens of this parish, Bachelor and Elizabeth Thomas of this parish, spinster, were married in this church by Banns with consent of ……………….. this tenth day of December in the year One Thousand Eight hundred and Thirty Three

By me, William Johnson, Curate

This marriage was solemnised between us:
Owen Owens (signed) Elizabeth Thomas (signed)

In the presence of: Owen Owens and William Jones

As Robert and Margaret just "X" it probably means they couldn't write. They didn't need consent as they were probably over 21.

WPE/34/6 Amlwch Baptism Register 1805 – 1821

11 November 1809 Margaret, daughter of Owen Owens, Miller and wife Catherine

27 June 1812 Owen, son of Owen Owens, Miller at Maes Y Llwyn Uchaf, and wife Catherine

I think this proves they were brother and sister.....?

Amlwch Baptisms Bishops Transcripts 1801-1904

13 February 1802 Robert and John, twin sons of Edward Davis of Penrhyn Bach and his wife, Jane

Good connection don't you think

Linda

Linda have you got the marriage cert for Frances Ellen Thompson.
Her son Donald travelled a lot so I have posted some passenger list records although he seems to have changed from stockbroker to decorator. I am still checking that one.

Linda she is hopefully coming on here so we can all link up.

LOL Madmeg
