Betty from USA I notice that there are Pughs from Clyro mentioned. My great-great grandfather was born in Clyro (Thomas Pugh), but that would have been around l821. He married Elizabeth ?? They lived in the "field houses", so I guess they were pretty poor. They had sons, Gomer (my great grandfather, who migrated to Pennsylvania in the states) Arthur, Moses, William and I believe a few more, maybe a Joseph. I know that's a long, long time ago, but just wondering if there is a connection. I guess Pugh is a very common name in Wales, so probably a long shot. Anyway, if there is any info it would be appreciated. We were in Wales a few years ago and I wanted to see so much more, but we were on tour and of course, they couldn't cater to my needs. We were in the town of LLangolan. I loved it. Fri Dec 14 12:24:25 2007

Beverley Bell from Australia nee Ruddick I am replying re William Newman Clyro the Postmaster. He was my Great Grandfather on my Father's mother's side.

Suzy from Hay For Derek Cootes, the Crown hotel is the building that houses Jigsaw world opposite Barclays bank, and Coopers Hall is near the old Moor Estate which is accessed from the road to Clifford and Nantyglatwr lane.
