John Corbett descendant in contact with news of videos on his life and now seeking our help

Post by QuentinDeakin »

Anna, a descendant of John Corbett, has been in contact with the society. She has been researching the history of her famous ancestor for decades and has produced two excellent You Tube videos dealing with the start of his career - from humble beginnings working on the family canal freight business - and his rise to the top in the world of business as the leading salt manufacturer in Europe at his 'state of the art' factory near Droitwich. The link is :

Anna would now like to produce a third dealing with his life in Tywyn and the mansion of Ynysymaengwyn. She is seeking any documents, artefacts, pictures or other information you might have that would help. Secretary, Quentin Deakin, has provided her with some contacts who might be able to help and if you can help with more please contact him so that it may be forwarded.
