Well, there are several Commercial Streets listed in my town maps (Remember
I don't really know the area)
They are listed as printed and are:- A'goed; Gilf; Pheol; Ystrad; Sen;
B'avn; P'pool; Ris; Yny; Pfraith; Peng; Tred; E Vale; New t; C'bran (which
I know isn't it) & Pnwd.
Further knowledge is that Thomas married his 1st wife Alice Vergo/Virgo in
Bedwellty Parish Church which I was told was/is Christchurch, Ebbw Vale.
That is where they were resident at time of marriage.
Alice was born in 1858 in Pontnewynidd, Trevethin and I still have to find
more about her. I need to find the 1861 census entry to get more info about
her family. Also like to find when she died. Her last child born 1884 and
Thomas remarried in 1890. Probably in Yorkshire rather than Wales as that's
where William was born and where he married 2nd wife.
I will be coming back to Mon. but maybe not just yet as I'm knocking on
the back door of 80 right now and it's a big excursion to plan and make.
Thanks to all for replies and help. I discovered whilst down among you how
helpful Welsh people are - believe me!
