ROBERTS, EVELYN BEATRICE (Lynette) (1909 - 1995), poet and prose writer . Significant correspondents included Edith Sitwell, who frequently praised Lynette's work, and from 1942, Robert Graves, who remarked that his White Goddess owed much to Lynette Roberts. Keidrych Rhys was called up in July 1940, after Lynette had suffered a miscarriage in March of the same year. Although she had immersed herself in village life, Lynette's time in Llanybri was not always harmonious, and in
ROBERTS, KATE (1891 - 1985), author White Lane) and the 1972 volume, Atgofion (Memories). Today Cae'r Gors is an arts and community centre established in memory of Kate Roberts. She and her brothers were brought up close to the land, and the hard work and constant anxiety of the subsistence farmer's life is continually evoked in Roberts's early fiction, alongside the yawning terror of the dangerous slate quarry. Kate, as the only

teulu SALUSBURY Lleweni, Bachygraig, origin. They were established at Lleweni in the Vale of Clwyd before 1334, though no Salusbury appears among the original burgesses of near-by Denbigh, listed in its original charter (before 1290). The belief that a 'Sir' John Salusbury founded the house of White Friars at Denbigh and was buried there in 1289 is based upon several misconceptions, and has no foundation in fact. In the course of time the
SEABORNE-DAVIES, DAVID RICHARD (1904 - 1984), lawyer and politician chose to put up a candidate. But Seaborne-Davies lost the seat in the general election in the following July by the narrowest of margins to D. A. Price-White, the Tory contender. He thus had one of the shortest tenures as a Member of Parliament during the twentieth century. During these keenly observed parliamentary election campaigns he consistently pressed for the appointment of a national Secretary
SHEPPARD, ARNOLD ALONZO (1908 - 1979), boxer between 1911 and 1948. This basically meant that any boxer who did not have two white parents could not fight for titles. This must have been particularly frustrating for Sheppard as on 8 October 1926 in Port Talbot he beat Bill Beynon, previously the British bantamweight champion. Sheppard also beat Pat Butler of Leicester, the British welterweight champion in the mid-1930s, and fought a draw with his
SPEED, GARY ANDREW (1969 - 2011), footballer United in February 1998 for £5.5 million, making him, at the time, the most expensive player in Welsh football history.

During his six years in the famous black and white colours of Newcastle United Gary played in two FA
STANLEY, HENRY EDWARD JOHN (3rd Baron Stanley of Alderley and 2nd Baron Eddisbury), (1827 - 1903), Diplomat, translator and writer, hereditary peer Llanbadrig, or St Patrick's (1884).

STENNETT, ENRICO ALPHONSO (1926 - 2011), race relations activist, businessman, dancer Enrico Stennett was born on 9 October 1926 in Mount Carey, near Montego Bay, Jamaica. His white Jamaican mother Lilian Stennett was rejected by most of her Jamaica plantation-holding family for having children with black Jamaican fathers. Family records and narratives are uncertain, but extracted from autobiographical details and Jamaican National Archives, Enrico appears to be the last of her
STENNETT, STANLEY LLEWELLYN (1925 - 2013), musician, comedian, actor , such as Face the Music, Variety Parade and Show Band Parade. The ultimate call up for a comedy star was to play the Palladium, and he did just that for Val Parnell's Sunday Night At The London Palladium - notably, on his second visit of the first series, out-gagging Bob Hope in their segment together in February 1956. He also joined the Black and White Minstrel Show as compere, appearing with them
teulu THELWALL Plas y Ward, Bathafarn, Plas Coch, Llanbedr, appointment that he sentenced Richard White, the Roman Catholic schoolmaster of Llanidloes, to his death in 1584. Thelwall was an exceptionally gifted man, who, according to Simwnt Fychan, was fluent in eight languages.
