Hi Pauline, welcome to the List.
Your SMITH interests may be my interest! Mine left Bedwellty/Ebbw Vale area
of the top of the vallies in 1887 on board the Jumna for Queensland,
Australia.. William was allegedly married to Mary Anne COLEMAN in 1872,
allegedly born in Blaina/Brynmawr area but nothing can be found of her or
her family. The only record we have of them as a family is the 1881 when
they are living in Bedwellty High Street in a boarding house. We presume
Mary Anne may have been young( ! ), when she had her first child Sarah
Hannah. William was born in 1852 to a William SMITH in Pontypool. Mary
Anne was allegedly born in 1857.

Hi,
My name is Pauline and my father came from Blaina his name was Thomas
George
BENDALL . I am just introducing myself to the list at the moment. Other
names relevant to me are SMITH, REES, & BURDOCK.
I have only been doing my family history for about a year, but I am
completely hooked on it. So I expect I shall have some queries for you in
the
future, and if I can help anybody else I will be more than happy to.
Pauline
