I lived in The Nailers Arms, Pontllanfraith. My father is buried in New Bethel but I have not been able to find his records. His name was William Elias Jones and he lived at Tynllwyn Farm on Mynyddislwyn mountain. Any info will be gratefully received.
I am trying to find any information on small farms and small coal mines in the Penyfan area around 1800 to 1847, the family I am interested in is DAVID LEWIS and son LEWIS LEWIS, I know they both died about 1836 and the family home and land were sold about 1842-1846 the family then emigrated to America.
I am trying to trace any descendants of my Great Grandparents DAVID and MARY DAVIES who lived on Markham Crescent, Oakdale for many years. DAVID DAVIES was my Great grandmother's second husband her first being a BASSETT. MARY was born in Cwm Dows her father was JAMES NEWMAN who ran a pub there I believe it was called the Dram or dust hole. Two of JAMES NEWMAN'S brothers are remembered on the war memorial that stands near the Oakdale miners' institute which is now in St Fagans folk museum.
Can anybody tell me if the original house of the Penmaen Estate still exists. My wifes family the LEWIS'S lived in Penmaen House at the end of the 19th century. I'm also interested in the Pentwyn Inn if anybody has any information.
My wife, TRUDIE WATKINS, originates from Oakdale. I am researching her WATKINS & DANIELS ancestry.
Looking for information on the RICHARDS family from Mynyddislwyn. My father THOMAS EDWIN RICHARDS born there in 1926, his father was THOMAS RICHARDS and his mother LILLIAN BENNETT. Believe THOMAS senior had brothers or sisters who had children who moved to USA and Australia. Would welcome any news.
Trying to trace family names dates etc, and stories of THOMAS WILLIAMS, who was a deacon at Tabor chapel in Maesycwmmer. He was born in 1861 I think.
My name is IAN BENNETT. My mothers name was JEAN ELIZABETH TURLEY and she was born at 30 Oakwood Terrace, Penmaen on 17/11/1937. Is there anyone still living in the area that remembers the family? Any information greatly appreciated
Does anyone have any information on LEWIS LEWIS living in Mynyddislwyn with his wife ANNE LEWIS (both from Mynyddislwyn)? ANNE was born in 1823 and LEWIS in 1821. They had 5 children called WILLIAM, EDDIE,LEWIS, BENJAMIN and JANE.
My Grandmother JEAN MULLER registered as staying at 21 Sunny View,in ARGOED. Living at this address at the time (1945) was ALFRED BRAY, MARGARET BRAY & WILLIAM GIRLING. My Grandmother gave birth at TY BRYN, to my mother. Any information about any of the above, would maybe help me finally discover the final missing pieces, of a long journey.
I am trying to find the family of LEWIS WILLIAMS who I believe was a butcher in Mynyddislwyn in 1806. I think he married MARTHA JONES in 1806 and had at least 4 children: THOMAS, WALTER, MARY and HENRY. If anyone knows how I can find out about the business or the family, I would be grateful. Thank you.
I am researching the names OWEN/OWENS and GRIFFITHS. My grandad was THOMAS OWENS b. 11/4/1876 at Ystradyfodwg and his father also THOMAS was born in 1847 at St. David's Brecon. My grandmother was RUTH GRIFFITHS b. 8/5/1882 and her father JAMES was born in 1844 at Gwenddwr. Both families moved to the Crumlin/Abercarn/Oakdale area at the end of the 19th century. JAMES GRIFFITHS 2nd marriage was to a widow ANN BRICE nee MORGAN and they lived at Shewbridge Farm
