Hi Trevor

Unsure if I have asked you before - but were your family in Ferryside of the
parish church - or non-conformist....

If of the parish church I could look in the parish register for you to see
if they married here......

I do not know of the name Nem....wonder if anyone else can help....

I don't know any latin at all.....just a little bit of Welsh, enough to know
if someone is talking about myself....but then they say that Llanelli Welsh
is pigeon welsh....half is spoken in english and half in welsh......!!

Pauline



regards Pauline
