    My Family are from Tregaron and that is not far away from this tragic place, we still farm in the area, the Hughes family was always a very sad story to listen to, it was believed they had Cholera, Beautiful Headstones, wonderful film Mr Jones, I was born in Buckinghamshire, but brought up as my father and grandfather was Cymraeg first, Diolch yn fawr, my memories bring me to tears at 88 years old. I have subscribed, you have made an old man very happy. Hwyl Fawr.

It would have been so wonderful and a miracle for Catherine and her family and the village to have quads born in those days, and then to have to watch your beautiful baby's die one buy one then to loss you after two children and the man you love...

    This popped up on my feed, and I am so glad I watched it. Such a sad story. A family blessed with 4 new babies, only to have them ripped away again a few days later along with the other children and father. So very sad. It's no wonder the mother took her life, driven mad with grief I dare say, bless her soul. After reading many stories where a suicide occurs, it would not surprise me if Margaret's body was passed out of the window of the house if that is where she was found, she would not have had the grace of going through the door. As for burial, she is most likely outside the graveyard, in unconsecrated ground since she committed the most heinous crime of suicide, and she would not be allowed to have a headstone as suicides were not allowed this privilege. Since we are now living in a different time, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to locate her burial site, and place her with her family, with a headstone to mark her spot and the reason for her demise. Such a lovely video, great respect to you for showing us. Thank you.

      Up until the early 1980's Irish Roman Catholics who committed suicide where not allowed to be buried in consecrated ground nor have a funeral mass
      Suicide was considered a crime back then
      It has changed thankfully as now they can have a proper burial and requiem mass and deservingly so

Imagine having to care for her entire dying family right after having given birth under extremely primitive conditions... She was a woman of strength and courage, but there are limits to both qualities. Poor lady lost everything in the end. She decided to follow her loved ones, rather than live without them... 😥

You denigrate and neutralise her experience by using simpering meaningless words. She killed herself .

    💔💔💔 Heart wrenching story of this tragic family, especially as they lived in such a beautiful place. I know West Wales very well as we have been holidays there since I was very small, all around Ceredigion.
    Loved you presentation and drone footage too. I felt like I was there.
    It was awful that Margaret the mother was not allowed to be buried with her family. Very hard, strict times.
    Pleased this popped up on my feed! I love social history of ordinary people.

    Those babies look about six months old in that photo, so maybe it was “within one year there were seven dead.” I wonder how they looked after them. Imagine all those nappies, soiled clothes, towels. The feeding they’d need, about twenty-four feeds a day! And the mother survived all of them, even after feeding the babies, nursing the sick and cooking and washing! They built em tough in those days! A tiny house for eight to live in. It’s been well preserved. I’m glad I live in todays world, we can survive almost any Illness today, we’re cooled in the heat and warmed in the cold and have so many needs taken care of and in comfort. Such a sad, sad story!😥
