Jennifer, Tried that phase in a Welsh to English translator and it's something about a bishop William Basil Jones of St David's I think it might refer to the bishop in this article. http://www.llangynfelyn.org/dogfennau/william_basil_DNB.html If so, the pictures might be of some historical importance.

Hi Jennifer I think it's really kind of you to put this message up. The problem is I think it's going to get lost soon from this board. It might be worth posting something on the "trying to find" board (if you don't have the surname in your tree - create a spoof one, add the message , and then delete the spoof entry afterwards), as anyone searching for that surname will come up with your message, and it will stay "visible". Just a suggestion. Regards Maxine

hi I found an old photograph album that my parents bought years ago at a sale. It contains lots of old photos that have nothing to do with my family. I was wondering if anyone can link them to their family. They appear to be welsh. Inside it says "presented to S.A Williams by her uncle W. Jones". One of the pictures says on the back of it 'Llywel vicarage march 24 1881'. There is a picture of a man with the following written underneath ' y gwir barchedig william basil jones, d.d. arglwdd esgob ty ddewi.'
