Please help me. I have no family of origin but am trying to trace a record of a fire which may have killed my half sister. I do not know whether it occured in Wales or London. It has been suggested that I contact the locallibrary which may have access to the newspapers. They were born in 1935 and I believe the fire happened around the age of 3 ie 1938. There mother gave birth to them in Bargoed, but their father was from London, hence I do now know where the fire was. I am hoping, as it involved a child fatality that there would be some newspaper record of it. I live in Surrey. Many thanks Pam

We are looking to promote our Big Toddle event (sponsored fun walk for the under fives) by placing posters and/or leaflets in all Welsh libraries possibly April/May time 2009. Please could you let me know if it would be possible for the main library to distribute them to all the smaller libraries in Wales? If so please could you let me know how we arrange this and the number of libraries in your area? With kind regards. Yvonne Houghton Yvonne.houghton@barnardos.org.uk

Answer:
Thank you for your enquiry to Ask Cymru.
We have been unable to trace any Welsh translation of this poem available online. However, there is a reference in the National Library of Wales online catalogue to a volume apparently containing one:
Ref no. NLW MS 6477D
Title: Cyfieithiadau o farddoniaeth 1878
Summary: "Metrical translations of ... of Edgar Allan Poe's [1809-1849] poem 'The Raven' by 'Pindar' (i.e. Thomas Francis Roberts [1860-1919] ... and of ... all of which were awarded prizes at the Birkenhead National Eisteddfod, 1878."
It may be possible for them to supply you with a copy of the poem.
