This account of Mrs Rowlands' marriage to Howell Elfet Rowlands was taken from an unknown newspaper. He was a musician who played locally in many events. Amongst other activities, he composed music, formed his own orchestras and played during the silent films at the Palace Cinema. The entries under the number 241 are copied from the scrapbook Mrs Rowlands compiled of his musical career. The ones included on our archive are those of interest to Buckley.
