[DaveR]

mmmm......i have thought how great it would be to post these pictures on here but im not brilliant on a computer 
How would i do this ? do i take a picture of them and then upload them ? Ill have a go !!!!!   

Yes, try taking a photo and then upload them on here (Instructions are below). If you dont have a means of resizing photos to make them small enough to fit on the forum, then you might need to email them to me at admin@threetownsforum.co.uk and I will stick them up for you.

How to upload photos to a post:

1) After writing your post, underneath the message box, click on 'Attachments and other options'.
2) Next to Attach, click on the 'Choose File' button.
3) Select the photo file you want to use from my computer's hard drive (it must be less than 300k in size).
4) If you want to add another photo, click on (more attachments) and repeat the procedure.
5) Click on Post and the message & photo should be displayed.

The photos you have added are are displayed at the end of your post, you dont choose where they go in the post. You can add a maximum of 4 photos per post at present.

[DaveR]

You should be able to email them ok, although it might take a minute or so for the photo to attach to the email if its a big file.

Emma, I forgot to mention that the Conwy Archives in Lloyd Street Llandudno is only open Mondays to Thursdays.  It is open between the hours of 10.00am to 12.30 pm then reopens 1.30pm to 4.30pm
If that John Roberts on the Burial Register is your relation and he did in fact die on 13th Dec 1919 then you could ask them to show you copies of the Dec 1919 and Jan 1920 Llandudno Advertiser and his obituary details may have been in that weekly paper.
The Conwy Archives is housed in the old Lloyd Street primary school next to the lifeboat station. It's at the far end of the street on the left if you are travelling from Mostyn Street.

Thanks Hugo. Ive written everything down, contacts, addresses etc in readiness.
The forecast is for rain so at least it will be dry in there !!
Ive e-mailed pictures of my relatives to the forum. I did try to post them but they were too big.
Hopefully you can have a look later when david puts them on for me......good to put a face to the name i suppose.

That does look like the rear of Kings Road.

The rear of those houses would have faced the old railway sidings.

It's difficult to see his cap badge, but it looks like he may have been in the Royal Welch Fusiliers.

The 1920 Plaque and the house it's on. There is also another Plaque on the adjoining semi.

Lovely photos Emma and nice reminders of your family tree.

  Hugo!

We now know the houses that faced the railway were built first.

Sometime between 1901 and 1911.

[Hugo]

But how do we find out which house was originally No 26?       

Kings Road has a funny numbering system now so we need to find out what it was like in 1911.

If it helps we think that John and Annie were married in 1906 and Richard was the first born in 1909. I presume they lived there once they were married. Can you still see the old railway from the kings road area ?
