Earning a living
Kelly's Directory 1895: Llangorse | ||
Here are further entries for
the community of Llangorse. They are
taken from the "commercial" section
and show what people were doing to earn a living there in 1895. |
The
publishers of the directory were unused to Welsh names and so there are
some unusual spellings at times! Can you recognise any of them?

|
Don't

The surnames are first |
Sometimes the way the
words are shortened to make them fit the page is confusing. James [Jas.] Williams for example is a monumental mason. He made his living carving gravestones and ornaments for the grander houses and churches. |
