Raglan Wales UK Domesday book
 To be ignorant of what occurred before we were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history.

Just as the original Domesday book, this digital Domesday wiki provides a window to the past history of Raglan. Through our Domesday book we hope to capture the spirit of our special home. Our latest project has been to build a data base and updated map of the Gravestones in St Cadoc's Churchyard.

As per earlier posting, my family was in Raglan for a few years, in Alma Cottage (records unknown), including a brief period in 1871 when my Great Grandfather Thomas Siderfin was in Usk Gaol, apparently for nonpayment of a debt to his brother William. I would love to know how his wife Frances Louisa Cozens Siderfin managed during this time, but in the absence of any information, I am hoping to find some school records of the chn. Anybody have any ideas about where it would be useful to look for school records from this period?
thanks. |

Hi everyone-. I am keen to know if anyone has information about the naming of Alma Cottage? My greatgrandfather Thomas Siderfin lived there with his Welsh wife Frances Cozens and their 5 Welsh chn from approx 1869 for about 8 years (last child was born in Llantrissant, Gamorgan in 1868 and they were in Somerset by 1881). I wonder why they came? what they did? why they left? The middle child was my grandfather, William Cozens Siderfin, who subsequently went to America. Any help appreciated! thanks
Do you find this valuable?

Hi Colleen,
I wanted to share our growth with you. Since I began the Raglan Domesday wiki, I have enjoyed sharing the Raglan Local History archives with the public. We now have a group of Primary School children called the 'History Detectives' that are studying the stories behind the gravestones in our local churchyard. We even have a section on this wiki for the History Detectives to record their work. And our membership is growing steadily as well as our 'hits'. So all is looking rosy. Thanks again for your support and encouragement Cheryl |
