Hi Glen,
thank you for the offer of help.
My gt grandfather was WALTER BEVAN, his wife was Catherine.
They lived in Tredegar but, sometime after the 1901 census they moved to Ebbw Vale.
My grandfather (James Bevan) once told me that his father spelt the name as BEAVEN.
That was over 40 years ago, and my grandfather is no longer with us.
Nobody of the right generation left to ask, at least as far as I know.
Walter's marriage and death cert's spell it as BEVAN though.
It is believed his father had the same name, and also worked with or on trains.
Thank you again for the help, it is appreciated.
I can't wait to hear back from you.
Regards and best wishes
Angela

My grand father worked for the London & Northwestern Railway, in Brynmawr in
that time period. He was a "goods agent" or "Warehouse man". I
believe that
would be the same railroad for Tredegar. I have some notes that he made
while he was sec. for the Widows and Orphans fund. There are some names of
people who attended meetings. What is your grandfathers name?
I will check for him.

Subject: [BLAENAUGWENT] Railway companys in Tredegar 1890-1929
Hello listers,
would anyone on the list know what railway companys operated in Tredegar?
Please.
The years I'm interested in are around 1890 to about 1929.
I hope to find records of locomotive engine drivers.
It was my g grandfathers occupation at the time of his marraige in 1896.
And the same on the 1901 census.
He died in 1940 age 76.
On his death cert it also states, "A retired locomotive engine driver".
Any help appreciated
Best wishes to all
Angela
