[edit] Owen Gethin Jones
Many thanks for including the piece on Owen Gethin Jones on your webpage. But please ensure that you have all your detail concerning this well-known 19c. personality correct! I do not know where you had your info. re. the collection of his works 'Gweithiau Gethin' from. This book was published in 1884, a year after Gethins' death, by his friend Gwilym Cowlyd at his press in LLanrwst. As far as I know, Emeritus Prof. R.T.Jenkins did not write anything on Gethin, certainly not a biography. I am the only one to venture into that field! I'm glad to find that you have the details re. my biography on him correct, and see that you quote quite a bit from that volume in your piece.

[edit] Response
Our sources for the short article for Owen Gethin Jones were 2 entirely seperate items. One of these being one of his descendants, who is connected to our railway. There is a short piece at the National Library of Wales web site at [1], seemingly written by Jenkins, which is where the info re 'Gweithiau Gethin' came from. Sorry if my original precis implied Jenkins wrote a full bio, but as you would see from the link, it was just the descriptive paragraph. The article has been amended to reflect such. --Keith (talk) 16:08, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
