Hello everyone I am new, I am writing a book about a local entrepreneur in Llandudno and discovered that as a side line he was secretary of the Mafeking Relief committee. I then discovered a couple of letters from Trooper Lempriere which he had forwarded to the local paper as others from Llandudno might be interested. But I am intrigued as looking at Ancestry there is a man called Clement Rozelle Lempriere in the 1891 and 1901 Census returns living in the west Midlands. Why would he have joined the Denbighshire Hussars and Imperial Yeomanry and why identify with Llandudno? he refers in a letter I have permission from the National Library of Wales to reproduce in the book as the other Llandudno lads being a bearer party for a dead officer. There is a plaque for those who served in the 2nd Boer war in the local town hall and his name is at the bottom on the left. Although my reference to him will be a brief intro. in to the letter which I can post on this site if you wish, I have become introgued! Any ideas would be welcome.
