| Seeking: | William James Shewring (family Of) | |
| Location: | South Wales : Pontypridd | |
| Message: | I am an author currently researching the history and past times of the HALLSANDS HOTEL near Kingsbridge, South Devon, for a forthcoming book. SELWYN ROSE (known as 'Tommy') and his wife MARY (Alice) ROSE (nee GALLAGHER) ran the Hallsands Hotel between 1947 and 1953. Selwyn originally came from Bridgend in South Wales. His sister, Marjorie Ethel ROSE (born 1912, Glamorgan) married William J SHEWRING at Pontypridd in 1931. William died in 1983 at Pontypridd. Marjorie may have had a second marriage to James A ELLIS in 1976 at Banbury, but she and William had the following children: Henrietta R SHEWRING (born 1932); James J SHEWRING (born 1933); Dennis S SHEWRING (born 1935); David W SHEWRING (born 1939); Phillip C SHEWRING (born 1947); Michael SHEWRING (born 1950); and Mary K SHEWRING (born 1951). Some of the surviving relatives may know more of their past family connection to the Hallsands Hotel. Would anyone who knows the current whereabouts of any members of the SHEWRING family please contact me as soon as possible.
