I read with great interest the references on the messageboard to Joseph and Richard Vowles, who were living in the Maindee area of Newport duringthe earlier part of the last century. I have a Joesph Vowles in my family tree, who was the Landlord of the Fairoak, 168, Chepstow Road, Maindee. The pub ( whichis no longer in existence was situated near to Victoria Ave. I have photos ofJoe Vowles (1915) as a member of the “Victoria Brotherhood Rifle Team”I also
My grandmother (born in Bristol) was brought up in the Fairoak Inn, her paternal grandmother was Emily MarthaVowles(christened 14th Nov 1852, Clifton Bristol) who marriedJoesph Davey.
I would love to hear from anyone with info aboutJoe or Emily Vowles.
