My father Arthur Fox was born in Tredegar on 25 November 1921,
supposedly
close to where Nye Bevan lived?
I'm not sure where Nye Bevan lived in 1921, but in 1930 he lived at
Beaufort House, Tredegar. Tredegar is not exactly a large town, so
anyone born there would probably claim to have been born close to where Nye
Bevan lived :-)
Why don't you get a copy of the birth cert - that will give the exact
address where your father was born.
You will need a sterling cheque for 6.50 pounds, payable to
"Superintendent Registrar" and write to:
Superintendent Registrar
The Grove
Tredegar
NP2 3DF
I have two questions
1. Does anybody have details to which street and parish this may have been?
The parish is Bedwellty
2. Since my grandfather Arthur Fox came from Lucton, nr Leominster, I
was
wondering what were the main occupation in Tredegar in 1921
Tredegar was founded on coal & iron - those were the staple industries
until fairly recently.
