Winning Stories2
“Tell Us Your Story” Winning Stories Anglesey Archives 1. Vanda Bourhill We live in a traditional Anglesey cottage down a small lane near a small village. The cottage always feels cosy and I didn’t want to leave on my first visit, staying more than an hour for our first viewing of the property. I decided to find out about the people who had occupied our cottage years ago. Also, who had owned it and the history of our local village. Visiting Anglesey Archives I looked at some old maps to check the parish and location. I then used the microfiche to look through census forms – 1891, 1861, 1851 and 1841 which gave me wonderful insights into life over the years. In 1841a widow, Margaret Jones was the head of the household; she was 47 and had 2 children. Over the years I was able to follow her life and all the other tenants in our cottage. In 1881 I found several families shared the property, including a Tinker as lodgers. In the Archives I could link up with information I was given locally to give me more basis to my story. How Margaret had become widowed when her husband had saved a child’s life by pushing it free of the cart which had killed him. She received a merit for the deed so became the ‘Head of the household’ on the census form. Further to visits to the Anglesey Archives involved looking at old point maps and deeds with a lot of help from staff there. I still had to find out the full story and will keep on going back to do this.
