Hello again Doreen,
Don't worry about the lack of Ralphs in Cwmcarn, there hasn't been that much
employment there for some time and the new by-pass makes it easy to get
around and settle elsewhere.
I've just this hour come through William Street in Cwmcarn. Also George
Street and Caradoc Street to name just a few.
Yes Cwmcarn is still there but it's next to Abercarn not Aberdare.
I've taken a photograph of Cwmcarn from the nearby mountainside as they've
just harvested the pine trees that usually obstruct the view.
I'll scan the photo in and send it "off list" , it shows the street and
general area as if taken from a 'plane.
Mike Steele,
Blackwood,

Hi all
I've come across an ancestor who is a Surgeon. (Henry HARRIS, Surgeon of Trevethin b c.1731 d.23/7/1762)
I also have various examples of his signature and it's a real work of art.
Can anyone direct me to more information about surgeons of this time, their training etc?
Many thanks,
Clare in Kent
I found this when searching for a marriage certificate for Edward and Mary
Phillips.
ROWLAND, Mary, sp., Llandaff, GLA. 1828, February 7. At Ll. Edward Philips.
A. 126/14.
It meets all the criteria I have so far on them so I wondered if anyone knew
how to find them in the census or parish registers with their children so i
can make sure it is them.
Children:
John 1831, Eliza 1833, Mary 1835, Craddock 1837, William 1840
Help is appreciated... Pam
My great grandfather Patrick SULLIVAN was born in Ireland circa 1842. GRO
marriage certificate indicates Patrick SULLIVAN 21 fireman in the Rhymney
iron works married Ellen CUMMINS 19 Marriage was solemnized at the Register
Office Bedwelty, Monmouth Wales 26 September 1863 Patrick's father was John
SULLIVAN (deceased); a general laborer. John CUMMINS, his wife Ellen
O'BRIEN CUMMINS and family were living at 13 Furnace Row in Rhymney according
to the Monmouthshire 1861 census. It appears the CUMMINS family had been in
Wales since circa 1845. Patrick SULLIVAN and Ellen CUMMIN(G)S SULLIVAN
immigrated to Pennsylvania 1865.
I did find Patrick SULLIVAN's brother Florence b circa 1845 married an Ellen
GLYNN. Florence's death certificate indicated his parents were John SULLIVAN
and Julia SULLIVAN (not sure if her maiden name was the same as her married
name).
I am trying to find Patrick SULLIVAN in Wales in 1851 and 1861 Wales census.
I understand Rhymney could be either in the Glamorgan or Monmouthshire
census. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated. If FHLC microfilm
numbers are available it would also help.
Thanks
Walt

Greetings listers,
My first time on this list, so I thought I would share my interests:
Stanley Jones born around 1880 in Blaina
Father William Jones: Mother Martha Ann
I was told William may have been from New Forest, but I'm not sure.
I was hoping someone may have the 1881 Census index and be able to perform
a lookup for me.
Thank you in advance

TIA

Al,
You may be inserting an unnecessary pop. into my address. Apparently,
ntl inserts this into addresses, when it transmits messages, to avoid
random junk mail being received. I don't fully understand it. However,
it can be a pain! Try me again on paulmorgan(a)net.ntl.com and you should
have some success. If you are still unsuccesful, contact me through the
list and I will try to offer another address. I will give you my son or
daughter's hotmail address.
Regards.
Paul.
By any chance might you have the web address for Glyn Hale's
Short History.
Thank You!

Please can anyone help?
Looking for information about Esther Thomas who married William Vaughan in Nantyglo, about 1862.
Esther Thomas father was David Thomas a Mason.
William Vaughan's father is stated as William Gwynne a Shoemaker.
Much appreciated
Lynda.
Hello Jo
I do not think there is a connection. I have researched this name
extensively.
There are a number of pockets where the name occurs and if you look at phone
lists today the grooupings are still there.
The name occurs in Glamorgan/Monmouth, WestMidlands - Coventry &
Wolverhampton and around Ipswich as well as London.
There is also a Leeke gouping in the Welsh Marches.
Thanks for your interest though and if you find a South Wales link feel free
to contact me
Regards
John Jenkins

Thanks Al. For those who haven't yet visited, the address is below. This
may be a good time to tell everyone that I have just added another
couple of pages on The Act of Union itself : what it said, what effect
it had and how it was received, together with a brief look at Wales
before the act and why it became necessary. You can access it from the
Gwent page.
Cheers,
Glyn

Hello The Birth was always Wales, it was at a time when England was greedy
and tried to claim Monmouthshire as English. But Pontypool and surrounding
areas were as far away from the English border as can be. Regards Barbara
