  • Dafydd Coslett Thomas, Eleanor His Wife and Their Six Children Emigrated to Patagonia on the Thames in 1875
    A number of people from Carmarthenshire, or who had connections with the county, emigrated to the Welsh Colony in Patagonia, and here is a little information about some of them. DAVID BOWEN, TRES CASAS David Bowen is said to have been born in Trelech-a’r-Betws, Carmarthenshire in 1844 but as a young man he moved to Pentre in the Rhondda and married Mary Anne Williams. In 1875 David, Mary and their children sailed for Patagonia on the Olbers and landed near the estuary of the Chubut on 31 October 1875. The family moved soon afterwards from Rawson to Drofa Fresych where they stayed for nearly three years. Early in 1878 the family moved to Gaiman where David Bowen built a house at the foot of the hills. At the beginning of winter 1879 they moved to a smallholding in Dyffryn Uchaf, an area later called Trebowen. When a chapel was built at Trofa Gwen Ellis, David became a member and an officer of the chapel. A new location was found for the chapel and it was named Bethesda. He served as both deacon and Secretary of Bethesda Chapel. He was one of the small band who went up to rocks at the top of Dyffryn Uchaf to search for somewhere to build a canal. His knowledge of the lands of Dyffryn Uchaf was of great advantage to those who were looking to build their homes in that area. David and Mary Anne’s eldest son and a daughter died of Typhoid in 1883. Thomas married Elizabeth Knowles, Marged Ann married Alun Meirion Williams, Mary Jane married Adrian Eusebio López, Hannah married William John Lloyd and Sarah married José Isabel Quiroga.

TRACES OF SUBMERGED LANDS ON THE COASTS OF LANCASHIRE, CHESHIRE, AND NORTH WALES. By Edward W. Cox. Read 23rd March, 1893. GEOLOGY. T would be well if this paper could be prefaced I by a geological lecture, dealing with the causes of change in the levels of land and the coast-lines of Britain from the latest geological age, when man first appeared on the earth to replenish and subdue it, down to the present time, in order to prove the continuity and vastness of extent to which these forces worked. I can do no more than take them for granted, and refer to them in the briefest possible way, to show that only a small part of the great whole is contained within the limits of comparatively recent history and tradition with which we have to deal.

Context 1.1 It is vitally important for the planning procedure to correspond to the needs of the county's communities and widespread perception suggests that insufficient consideration is given to matters such as the economy when determining planning applications. Consequently, a decision was made to carry out a scrutiny investigation on the planning arrangements, and consider the Council’s planning procedures and how well they correspond to the economic needs of the county, as well as other factors. 1.2 It must be noted that this investigation is specifically relevant to the Gwynedd Council Planning Authority Area only, as the Planning Authority for the Park area is the Snowdonia National Park Authority.
