Rosina Radnedge was born in 1886 in Bristol. She was one of eleven children and sister to my grandmother.. In 1905 Rose married George Jones, around 1913 they left Bristol and moved to Wales. I know they lived at Ponthir as I have lots of photos of them all having tea in the garden. The only info I have on Rose is she had 6 children -   Edwin, David, Alfred, Enid, Horace, and Audrey, also I have several photo's of a young airman I believe to be Horace, I do know he emigrated to Australia in the 1970s. I believe also Rose had a fish and chip shop somewhere in the Newport area. If anyone can help I would be very grateful. Margaret Gooding, please email: dg007v2806@blueyonder.co.uk

My great uncle, Clarence Albert Pratt Porter was born in Caerleon in 1885 and died in Norfolk in 1932, a hero, rescuing one of his Scouts from the Sea at Winterton-on Sea. Somewhere I have the address of the house where he was born. He was extraordinarily well-loved. His father, my great grandfather, married Mary Elizabeth Morris in St Cadoc's in 1884. He was 30 years older than she and they died 30 years apart. Mary Elizabeth's father was John Albert Morris, a surgeon. I would like to find out more about Mary Elizabeth and John Albert. It's a bit difficult, Morris being a fairly common name and overshadowed by William Morris, the designer. Email: patricia.f.jubb@gmail.com

Death of Dr Rhys, Although living abroad for some years, my trips back were always sealed with a coffee with Russell Rhys at The Ffwrwm. We worked to put caerleon on the map in the late 60's and protect its enourmous heritage. I was so sad to hear that he had passed away last October, and just wonder if he had expressed any preference for any charity where one may make a token gesture.
I regret that he will now never make the trip he threatened to make for some time subject to health - to the Royal Library here in Brussels which is reputed to contain manuscripts relevant to the the Camelot - Caerleon story/claims, but if anyone should want to take over the baton, do contact me. mwronebay at yahoo dot com

A CAERLEON BICENTENARY. 200 years ago my Great Great Grandfather James Green was married to Mary Morgan in St. Cadoc's Church. ( 17th.October 1810). James was a wiredrawer at the local tin and wire works, Mary was a local lass. They lived on the Common.
James's 4th.son was my Great Grandfather - John. He married Maria Waters (29/09/1839). He was a Cordwainer, a leather worker making mainly boots and shoes. They lived at Ashwell, Caerleon-ultra- Pontem. In later life he took over from his brother as Postmaster at Caerleon and lived at the Post Office in Cross Street.
John' son Edwin was my Grandfather. His second marriage was to Florence Davey from Plymouth. He took over both the cordwainers business and as Postmaster still living at Cross Street. They had 4 sons.
John's youngest son was my father Russell Green. He married Constance Marsh who lived on the Common. They had a house built at the Broadway where all 3 of their sons were born. Russell was Clerk to the Caerleon U.D.C. and Superintendant Registrar for B.M. & D's for the Caerleon District. He was also a trustee of the Williams' Charity and a governor of the Charity Schools.
I'm Martin Green the youngest son, I've been living in Caerleon for the last 36 years and was born , brought up and educated here and at West Mon, Pontypool.
So you can see that our branch of the Greens have been here continuously for 200 years. There were Greens in Caerleon long before 1810 as far back as 1680 but I can't find the link to any of them.
I would be happy to hear from anyone that thinks they might related to us. Also I would be very very pleased to hear from anyone who has found the link between us and the earlier Greens.  martin2102@talktalk.net

Can anyone loan/direct me to old pictures of the Ashwell/Belmont Hill area which I could use in my book about ancient Caerleon - perhaps of the old bridge mentioned below? Following one of the now frequent road accidents on Belmont Hill I was told of one such by a colleague at the university. Some time ago he was travelling up 'Hell Hill', as we now know it, when, as he approached the King’s Arms, his journey was halted abruptly. A large hole had appeared in the road in front of him. Too late! Despite their relatively slow speed, both driver and car disappeared into the rift. An old oaken bridge, which had simply been covered over during the construction of the modern road, had finally submitted to the continuous, calamitous clatter of cars, coaches, trucks, tractors and gigantic juggernauts. Fortunately my colleague was uninjured and his car was replaced but one wonders whether more creaking, croaking brothers of this stout old stalwart might lie lurking dragon-like ‘neath the ancient wretched routes of Caerleon just itching, in final vengeful gesture, to gobble up a tractor or two...   Please contact iscasoc@gmail.com
