-One starts with M. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |

-Perfect. Well done. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-Growing up, -all my relatives lived in England. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-English was the dominant language -because we were English. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:21 | |
-But I always enjoyed -studying Welsh at school. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-I felt drawn to it. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-I studied Welsh as a second language -and took it for A Level. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-I was the only one taking it -for A Level... | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-..and I was the one -who came from England! | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-I then decided to do a Welsh degree, -followed by teacher training. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-Although I'm qualified to teach -first-language Welsh... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |

-I have an old family photograph -of my great-great-grandfather... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:06 | |
-..John Owen Jarrett and his family -who lived in Birmingham. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
-Although Jarrett is an English name, -there are several in Merionethshire. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:17 | |
-I'd like to know if they're related -to my family of Jarretts. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:22 | |
-I'd be thrilled to find a connection -with Merionethshire and Wales. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
-To find out if she's related -to the Jarretts of Merionethshire... | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
-..she must first visit -Perthyn's experts at the library. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
-Jason Evans has begun researching -Sam's family tree. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
-By tracing the surname, Jarrett... | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-..we can go as far back -as the late 18th century. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
-The family hailed from Trawsfynydd. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-There was a long line of Jarretts... | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
-..in Trawsfynydd. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:11 | |
-They were -a relatively prosperous family. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
-Here is a record... | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
-..of a family wedding... | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-..that took place in 1772... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-..at Trawsfynydd church. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
-Richard Jarrett -married Eleanor Morris. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
-Very interesting. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
-There are earlier examples -of the name Jarrett in Trawsfynydd. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-I have them here. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
-We're looking again at the parish -records of Trawsfynydd. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
-In 1746, you can see... | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-..there's a record of -Jaret Richard's son's christening. | 0:04:54 | 0:05:00 | |
-There are several references -to Jaret Richard... | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
-..which leads us to believe -he was the first Jarrett... | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
-..in Trawsfynydd. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
-He was the father -of all the Jarretts in that area. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-His children -kept the name Jarrett as a surname. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
-So that's the beginning -of the Jarrett line. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-That's good. -It's what I wanted to find out. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-I'm so glad -there's Welsh blood in the family. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-That's great. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:30 | |
-Perthyn has confirmed -that Sam Jarrett has Welsh roots... | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
-..dating back to 1720, -to Jaret Richard in Trawsfynydd. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
-His son, Richard Jarrett, -of Glanllafar Farm... | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
-..was the first -to use Jarrett as a surname. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-A surname he passed on to his sons, -Jarrett Jarrett and Richard Jarrett. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
-Here we have the will... | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-..of Gwen Jarrett. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-She was the sister -of the first Richard Jarrett... | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-..in Trawsfynydd. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
-This is a very long -and complicated will. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-There are a few items of interest. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-"I bequeath unto the said -Jarrett Jarrett... | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-"..the sum of five hundred pounds." | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-In today's money, -that would equate to around 20,000. | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
-So what did Jarrett Jarrett do -with all that money? | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
-He was very industrious. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:37 | |
-The first thing he did -was buy a large house... | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-..in the heart of Trawsfynydd -and turned it into a pharmacy. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
-He then bought shops... | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
-..in Machynlleth, Dolgellau, -Llangadfan and all over the area. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:53 | |
-If we consult the 1851 census... | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-..we notice that Glasfryn House -in the heart of the village... | 0:07:00 | 0:07:05 | |
-..was the home of Jarrett Jarrett. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-He's noted as being a merchant -and farmer... | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-..a landowner of 700 acres. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
-This was -an affluent and prosperous family. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
-Right. -So, to which one am I related? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-Unfortunately, to Richard -rather than Jarrett... | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-..who had all the wealth. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
-From Glasfryn House, Trawsfynydd... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-..Jarrett Jarrett -ran a successful family business. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
-As the owner, he employed brother -Richard in the shop and pharmacy. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
-Sam is on her way to Trawsfynydd -to find out more. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
-I've found the grave of Richard -Jarrett from Glanllafar Farm. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-He was the first of the family -to use the name Jarrett... | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-..as a surname. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
-He's my great-great-great- -great-great-grandfather. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
-I'm very pleased -to have found his grave. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
-Having been raised on a farm... | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
-..Richard Jarrett's sons went on -to establish a chain of shops... | 0:08:41 | 0:08:46 | |
-..and pharmacies in the area. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-Glasfryn was the main business... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-..providing a valuable service -to the community. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-At the beginning -of the 19th century... | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
-..pharmacology was an art, -rather than a science... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-..which was passed down -from generation to generation. | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-The pharmacist would treat -all manner of ailments... | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
-..from farming injuries -to fatal diseases... | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
-..with drugs such as mercury, -opium and traditional remedies. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
-The Jarretts were well respected. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-Descendants remained at Glasfryn -until the 1950s. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-Sam is on her way -to meet John Isgoed Williams... | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-..who remembers the last Jarretts -to live at Glasfryn. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
-The Jarrett family go back -a long way in Trawsfynydd's history. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:42 | |
-The Jarretts were regarded -as Trawsfynydd's entrepreneurs... | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
-..to use today's terminology. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
-But my childhood memory -of Glasfryn... | 0:09:53 | 0:09:57 | |
-..the house -where the most influential... | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
-..and professional members -of the family lived... | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
-..is of a chemist's shop, -run by Mr Jarrett himself. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-The left-hand side of the shop... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
-..served as Trawsfynydd's -post office. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
-So the shop was at the heart -of community life back then, was it? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
-Very much so. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
-People say that Glasfryn -even operated as a bank... | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
-..before what we used to call -back then... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-..before it was taken over -by Hong Kong and Shanghai... | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-..Glasfryn was somewhere where money -was exchanged in those days. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:45 | |
-The family was also involved -in social initiatives locally. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:50 | |
-A few family members are named... | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
-..in the village -historical records... | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-..in the 1823 booklet, -Cymdeithas Gyfeillgar Trawsfynydd. | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-Each member had a duty... | 0:11:01 | 0:11:03 | |
-..to seek out those -who were in poor health... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
-..and who were in need. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:10 | |
-Initiatives such as this... | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-..operated successfully -in Trawsfynydd for many years. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
-It's always been -a supportive community. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
-So this would have happened -long before the welfare state. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
-Oh, yes. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-It's been lovely -talking to you today... | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
-..and hearing about the Jarretts -and their contribution... | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
-..to life in Trawsfynydd. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
-As someone who's learned Welsh, -it's nice knowing... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
-..that some of my family -were true Welshmen... | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
-..and came from -a Welsh-language stronghold. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
-For me, that's very precious. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
-You can take comfort in the fact... | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
-..that you're from the same family. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
-There's an old saying... | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
-..that is attributed -to Gwallter Mechain, who said... | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
-.."If the Welsh language -should die... | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
-"..Trawsfynydd -will be the last place... | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
-"..where the language -will be spoken." | 0:12:13 | 0:12:17 | |
-The Welsh language is ingrained -in the native population of today... | 0:12:19 | 0:12:25 | |
-..to the extent it was -in the old days. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
-It's a privilege that your family... | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-..hailed from such a wonderful place -as Trawsfynydd. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
-Yes, indeed. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:36 | |
-Yes, indeed. - -God bless you. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:38 | |
-Thank you very much. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |
-My family has lived in England -for generations and spoken English. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:50 | |
-It's been wonderful to find out... | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
-..that I'm a descendant -of a long line of Welsh people. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
-You couldn't find a more Welsh place -than Trawsfynydd. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-But the question -I want answered is... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
-..why did my ancestors -move away to England... | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
-..and lose the Welsh language? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:18 | |
-888 | 0:13:20 | 0:13:20 | |

-Sam Jarrett was born -in the Midlands... | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
-..before moving to South Wales -as a child. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
-We've traced her Welsh roots... | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-..over eight generations -to the Jarretts of Trawsfynydd. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
-Jarrett Jarrett and brother Richard -Jarrett were successful businessmen. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:47 | |
-But how did Sam's branch -come to live in Birmingham? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:50 | |
-Perthyn has found that Richard was -the first to move from Trawsfynydd. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-Jaret Richard Jarrett, the father of -Sam's great-great-grandfather... | 0:13:56 | 0:14:01 | |
-..went to Llangadfan in Powys... | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
-..and married into the Owen family -of the Cann Office Hotel. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-But more information -has come to light. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
-Right. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:17 | |
-What we have here -is the census of 1851. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
-Jaret Richard Jarrett's family -lived in a shop in Llangadfan. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:30 | |

-My great-great-grandfather -hadn't yet been born. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
-The 1861 census -is the next document. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
-It shows that John Owen Jarrett... | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
-..lived with his uncle, -Richard Owen... | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
-..and two aunts at the Cann Office. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
-It's strange that -they didn't live with their parents. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
-I wonder where they were -at the time of the 1861 census? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-John Owen Jarrett -was brought up by Richard Owen... | 0:15:12 | 0:15:17 | |
-..his mother's brother, -at the Cann Office Hotel. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
-Sam's great-great-grandfather was -born in Llangadfan, not Birmingham. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:28 | |
-To discover more about him -and the Cann Office... | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-..Sam meets local historian, -Alwyn Hughes. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-The Cann Office -was more than just a hotel. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-It was a cultural centre. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
-There are records of eisteddfodau -being held here. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
-Most land in the area -was part of the estates... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:49 | |
-..of the Earl of Powys, -Castell Coch, Welshpool. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
-Tenant farmers came here -to pay rent. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-The mail coach would pass by -on the turnpike road... | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
-..on its way -to Machynlleth and Aberystwyth. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
-They would change horses here. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
-The local women -would come to sell stockings. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
-I hope they hadn't been worn! | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
-Or had holes in them! | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
-What can you tell me about my -family's history at the Cann Office? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
-One man in particular stands out - -Richard Owen. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |

-..had married -into the Jarrett family. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-There are numerous references -to Richard Owen. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
-This is a photograph of him... | 0:16:36 | 0:16:38 | |
-..standing outside the Cann Office. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
-He was a very tall and muscular man. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
-He was very talented and was -renowned for his farming skill. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-This is a description of him -by his friend. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
-"He and his two sisters were the -most welcoming people in Llangadfan. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
-"They helped the old and the needy. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
-"Volumes could be written -about their generosity. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-"He was a strong and sturdy man -who was handy with his fists. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
-"His big, long nose -was his only drawback. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
-"Usually, it was his nose... | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
-"..which showed the obvious effects -of a fight. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
-"I've been cursed again -by this big nose," he'd say. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
-"It gets in the way." | 0:17:23 | 0:17:24 | |
-Something like this is nice. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
-It's almost like meeting someone -who knew him. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-The description of his nose and the -fact he was handy with his fists... | 0:17:30 | 0:17:34 | |
-You'll certainly remember that. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-But why did Richard Owen -raise Sam's great-great-grandfather? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:45 | |
-Where were his parents? | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
-Perthyn has retrieved -his mother's death certificate. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
-In 1857, Jane Owen Jarrett... | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-..the sister of Richard Owen, -Cann Office... | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-..died at the age of 32 from TB. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
-Two years later, her husband died -of the same disease. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:12 | |
-It's sad to think that by 1861, -these four children... | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
-..were orphaned... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:19 | |
-..and separated. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
-I realize -that it happened 150 years ago... | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
-..but I can still feel for them... | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-..and imagine how awful -it must have been for the family. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:33 | |
-Following their parents' deaths... | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
-..John Owen Jarrett -was raised in the Cann Office. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
-Perthyn is trying to establish... | 0:18:42 | 0:18:44 | |
-..why Sam's great-great-grandfather -left Wales for Birmingham. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
-This is very interesting. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
-What we have here -is the census from 1871. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
-John Owen Jarrett had left -the Cann Office in Llangadfan. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:01 | |
-At the age of 16 years, -he was an apprentice in Oswestry. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-This is when Sam's family -left Wales for England. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
-A decade later... | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
-..in 1881... | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
-..John Owen Jarrett... | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
-..was working as an ironmonger -in Battersea, London. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:25 | |
-So he's travelled some distance -from Llangadfan. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
-But we haven't yet reached -Birmingham... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
-..so I have to do further research. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
-While Jason continues searching, -Perthyn has a surprise for Sam. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:44 | |
-They've found the Welsh branch -of the Jarrett family... | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-..descendants of the Jarretts -of Glasfryn, in Trawsfynydd. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
-This is the first time -for her to meet them. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-Hello, how are you? Welcome. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
-Thank you. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
-I'm sorry about the weather. -Come inside. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
-I'm very pleased to meet you. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-We're through here. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
-This is the family. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:16 | |
-Let me introduce my brother, Glyn. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
-Hello, how are you? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
-David and Glyn -asked where in the south I was from. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
-They had also been tracing -the Jarrett family tree. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
-So there are -one, two, three, four... | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
-..five, six, seven children, -if I'm correct. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-Our relative -and the brother of your relative... | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
-..was Jarrett Jarrett, Glasfryn. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
-It was difficult -working out who's who. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:48 | |
-The Jaret Richard Jarrett -who was noted in the census... | 0:20:48 | 0:20:54 | |
-..wasn't the right one -on account of his age. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-Now I realize that I'd been looking -at the wrong Jarrett Jarrett. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
-What do you know about -Jarrett Jarrett's son, Richard? | 0:21:02 | 0:21:06 | |
-He married Jane Owen -from the Cann Office in Llangadfan. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:11 | |
-He married into the Owen family. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-It was nice meeting David, Glyn -and their families. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
-I'm so pleased to have met -the other branch of the family. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
-We've shared information. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-Now that a connection has been made, -I hope it will continue... | 0:21:25 | 0:21:30 | |
-..so that we can exchange -information as we find out more. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 | |
-It's nice to know there are Jarretts -still living in Trawsfynydd. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-Keith Jarrett. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
-Keith Jarrett. - -People always ask if we're related. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
-I'd like to think we are. I'd be -thrilled. He'd be our Uncle Keith. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
-Although we share -a passion for rugby... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
-..our backgrounds -are completely different. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-When Glyn asked me why my branch -had moved to Birmingham... | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
-..I couldn't answer him. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:03 | |
-But Jason has found the answer. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-John Owen Jarrett, -my great-great-grandfather... | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
-..who was brought up -in the Cann Office... | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
-..was the first to leave Wales. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
-He went to work in Oswestry and then -to Battersea as an ironmonger. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:31 | |
-By the time of the 1891 census... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:33 | |
-..he had moved to Birmingham. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-Jason thought -it was natural for a businessman... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-..to be drawn to a large city -during the industrial revolution. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:44 | |
-It sounds likely. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:46 | |
-So we've finally found the answer. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
-John Owen Jarrett, -my great-great-grandfather... | 0:22:51 | 0:22:55 | |
-..was the first to leave Wales. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
-It changed the course -of my family's history. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-I regarded myself -as an English person. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
-Although the English side -is an important part of my legacy... | 0:23:07 | 0:23:11 | |
-..I can say, with pride, that -Welsh blood runs through my veins. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
-To think that I learned Welsh, -totally unaware of my background... | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
-..I feel that I've come full circle. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
