I posted a request for info on this subject several months ago, but I understand that server trouble meant that lots of things were lost.
I was delighted when I logged in today to find Mr Ron W Watts extensive and beautifully researched document on the history of the town, its shops, trades, characters and activities.
I live in a small village near Brecon, in a house built by Thomas and Mary Morgan. This house used to be the village Post Office and Store, and following Thomas's early death, Mary moved her six children to Pembroke Dock, where she ran the Bazaar from 21 Pembroke Street, eventually with the aid of two of her daughters.
Ron Watts photo clearly shows a Post Office sign at the right hand side of The Bazaar, and the 'Postcards' sign (which apparently she published) on the left.
I have researched the Morgan family only from the Census, and therefore could add just a few more details about Mary at the Bazaar, and her near neighbours and their occupations. If someone reading this could put me in touch with Mr Watts, I would appreciate that.
Many thanks, and congratulations on a splendid project.
Graham Hughes.
