For Audrey,
I think Cwmbran Record Office is a good place to start from what I hear. I
may be down that way in May so let U know my experience.

Dear Audrey,
I will leave it to the other "listers" to give you advice about searching
for records. But I can say the weather is usually very pleasant end of
September/beginning of October, with autumn starting, temperatures in the
day can be up to around 15 degrees c, and there is usually still some
sunshine. Quite often there is an "Indian summer" with warmer temperatures.
Mornings and evenings start to be chilly though and you will need an
umbrella. You will probably need to consider hiring a car, as public
transport in the South Wales valleys is not very versatile.
I grew up near Abertillery and now live away, but always try and
visit
home around the time you mention. The landscapes are very beautiful with the
changing colours.
Have a great trip!
Jane Dyer.
