Anybody in Cardiff that can help me. I am looking to find relatives of two daughters of Dr David Joseph Buckley. he married Olive Kelly in Nov 1926 in Cardiff. Their daughters Mary B Davis died Nov 1996 and Ellen Meecock died 1986. I believe they lived in and around Cardiff.

I am delighted to see this exhibition at 44 Connell St Limk. I had the pleasure of doing the research for it. Wouldn't it be great to see other buildings exhibited like this. To show that behind now, empty buildings lie a rich history whose occupants helped the city thrive at one stage.

Making great progress with this project. And now I am looking for the publics help again. I am looking to source letters and diaries that talk about the fire. I have found some and hoping more will turn up hidden in drawers and in attics.

This will be of great of use in identifying women publicans in Ireland. Guinness have already made its trade ledgers available online. In my own research it has already proved useful.

Delighted to have been able to attend this get together and to hear some wonderful papers. I am also delighted to be joining the @oralhistoryie.bsky.social Steering Committee and to work with some wonderful people.

It was lovely to hear Lorraine Grimes speaking at the @oralhistoryie.bsky.social meeting this week on single mothers in Irl & Britain pregnancy, migration and institutionalisation . Her research has focused on gathering the oral testimonies of women who suffered in the various institutions.
