I told you I was going to look up my ancestors, well I'm just back and with
some success! Found my G/Gfather in the Cwmbran Records Office, what
lovely people they all are.
Now. I found his old address in Ebbw Vale and went up to photograph it,
sadly it was gone but I worked out where it used to be and took a photo of
that site, second best I know but the remaining houses seem to be much the
same s maybe that's what George's looked like in 1871.
What I also was lucky enough to do was visit the Parish Church, Christ
Church near Briery Hill and two lovely people let me in and told me about
the place. I took what pictures I could but I ran out of battery (after the
morning at Big Pit and Ironworks etc)
Could SKS with camera let me have a picture of the outside of this imposing
Church? or maybe point me to one already available?
That will be the icing on the cake for me. It was a very emotional moment
for me having looked for George Williams, Gas Fitter, for 20 years without
success.
