Richard WARDMAN 1848 Shropshire-1923 Trelewis

[ang35]

Does anyone know of this family , he was a bricklayer and had 9 children with second wife ELIZABETH Emma Williams.
Richard was a keen poet and I believe that a book of poems was published in Cardiff ? of his work, although I don't know the date. This is one of them;

There were Wardmans living in Trelewis in the 50's and 60's. One was a Margaret Wardman who married Emlyn Davies, a Funeral Director, and I think there was a brother whose name I can't remember but who was a Manager of the Co-op Stores in the village. The Funeral Directors still exists today under the name John Davies and Sons, Funeral Directors, Trelewis. If you are able to contact John Davies you may be able to retrieve some more information about the Wardman's, as John is the son of Margaret Wardman.

Hi Mike. I have just seen this email as I changed email address. I can't see anything about the obituary and I don't live in Wales. Would it be possible for you to email me the obituary please. Richard WARDMAN was my G-Granddad, and I have done an extensive family tree on him, so it would be really nice to see the obituary .
Many thanks.
