I just breezed over your story about the evaluation to Nova
Scotia. I live in Oakfield, home of Oakfield Estate. I enjoyed
reading a about the Lauries. They are a family that has fascinated
me for years. As a young girl, Mrs Laurie would visit our home and
give us an advent calender that came from England... only if you
went to church. The Chapel that you mention is still there and they
did have to blast the rock for the Col.'s grave. Although the
homestead that you mentioned has recently been sold. Her Grandson,
still runs the farm and manages the land holdings... He is a good
friend of my Dads. I would be very interested in seeing any pictures
that you may have of the area.

I am writing a book of walks about writers in Hertfordshire. I
refer to some information on your site about Orwell and Shaw, in
which you consider Whymper to be an allegorical figure for Shaw and
the Asters. I hope you're ok with that. Alex_reeve@hotmail.co.uk

Hello Margaret Siriol Colley, Are we related? Or is your
relationship with Gareth on his father's side? I understand that my
father - Ieuan Vaughan Hoskins (1895 1976) was a first cousin of
Gareth's. His father and my grandfather was David
Hoskins(1859-1939), Presbyterian minister in Caernarvon and one time
moderator of the Welsh Presbyterian church.My grandmother Mary's
maiden name was Wiliams, a farmer's daughter of Llwyn Du, Pandy
Tudur, Caernarvonshire.(The farm is still in the Williams family and
was where Robert Roberts, (Yr Ysgolwr mawr) began his working life
as a "farmer's drudge" in the service of his uncle Isaac Williams
(C1850). I am unsure of the exact connection with Gareth. Although
both he and my father bore the additional surname Vaughan, there are
Vaughans on three out of four of my paternal great grandparents'
trees. I read your website with interest. I was ignorant of Gareth's
full reputation, knowing only of the sensation surrounding his
untimely death. I have long left Wales and live in South Oxfordshire.
My e-mail is: rivhoskins@aol.com With kind regards, Richard Iorwerth
Vaughan hoskins.

I heard an interview about Gareth on As it Happens from Toronto
last evening. It might interest you to know that my mother Dorothy
Williams (then of Llantwit Major) was a close friend of Gareth. I
have a letter he wrote to her from Cambridge and several 'joke'
telegrams he sent for her wedding. I had heard stories about him
from my mother and aunt (Morfydd) but never realised just how
extraordinary a person he was. Janet Evans Wright. evanswright@sympatico.ca

Siriol, Gosh - what a rich and interesting site you've put
together. I have only just begun to scratch the surface. It is a
fantastic accomplishment, particularly for someone who describes
themself as a piece of 'living history'! I hope your grandchildren
will enjoy this for many years to come. warm wishes, Katy Weitz

Congratulations on the opening of your web-site Siriol. I only
had time for a quick scan today, but I'll be back for a good old
browse very soon. Already I have found it most enjoyable, and
beautifully arranged too. John Vivian Harris, fellow member of

Interesting reading your pages. I am particularly interested
because my Great grandmother and father both died in Russia,
according to family history and I am trying to distinguish rumour
from truth. What I am really interested in is whether you know of a
passnger list for the Welsh iron workers that went out to Hughesovka
have been told that there is one.

A very fine informative website. I am researching into
the period Robert Willims Parry, the poet spent as a teacher
at the Barry Boys School (1913-16) and wonder if you have
any information about him. He was great friend of your
grandfather and were both part of very thriving Welsh
community in the town at that time. Thanks, Dr E W Rowlands
