Hi
I have Wilcox from Ebbw Vale in my family tree, though a rather distant
connection.
A George Lewis Clark(e) was a brother to two of my G Grandmothers (cousins
married) and his daughter Annie married a William J Wilcox. On the 1901
census George, his wife Rachel, William and Annie Wilcox, a David Walters
(brother of Rachel) and a nephew Frederick Regas were living at 2 Mount
Pleasant, Ebbw Vale. George Clarke had a milk round and at the time of the
census William Wilcox was an insurance agent though family history states
that eventually William took over the milk round and possibly also had a
general stores. George Rachel and Annie were born in Tredegar and William in
Ebbw Vale.
If this is of interest please let me know as I do have more information on
this family.
Colin Brockhurst

Ken's father is my mother's older brother, but they have different
surname's.
I have seen Ken once in the past 30 year's, that being at a funeral of
another branch of the tree.
It would be so much easier if our families shared our enthusiasm for
our family tree's...oh well such is life (with a smile).
Would it be helpful if there were a joint effort, to request the same
service we have in Worcestershire to be available in you're area?
Good luck in you're searches

There are still Wilcox families in Ebbw Vale and I was talking to Ken
Rose in the Town this afternoon. Ken owns a shop in Bethcar street.

Hi everyone, I've been back on the list for a while, and it's
nice to
see thing's picking up again on here.
My ROSE and WILCOX lines lived in 25 and 38 Collier's Row (on the
1901
census), and I found the information on the book's very
helpful...Thank you Barrie.
I phoned my local library to order the books (I live in Droitwich
Spa,
Worcestershire).
I was given the following information and I hope it helps , (I was
not
aware of the following until today).
If you go on you're own county website (in my case
www.worcestershire.gov.uk) then to the link "Libraries", you will
find another link "opac". You can then check if you're local library
have the books you want. If you have you're library card you can
order the book's online.
My time is very limited because of my working hour's and I appreciate
the information and help this list gives me. Thank you to all that
contribute to the list.
Good luck in you're searches
Angela

In Keith Thomas's " Old Ebbw Vale in photographs" there is a
photograph
of 33, Colliers Row, but I suspect it is the Colliers Row in
Newtown/Gantre/Newchurch area of Ebbw Vale. The caption is " 33,
Colliers Row-1909. Amelia Cooper stands in the doorway dressed in a
fresh white pinafore trimed with broderie anglaise. The roof has it's
original stone tiles, without guttering and to reduce the effect of
roof
water a row of paving stones has been placed at the base of the
walls.
The splashingwater gradually eroded the annual coat of
whitewash."
Have you checked Keith Thomas's other books? here are a complete set
of
volumes in Tredegar library.
regards
Barrie Jones
