Hi John
Assuming that you wish to visit Bryngwyn - Bach, which is located at grid reference 259974 198313, then this would be best approached from the north end of Hospital Road as opposed to from Garden Village. Hospital Road runs from Gorseinon Road (A4240) at the north end to Swansea Road (B4620) at the south end. The lane to the farm which is about 60m down Hospital Road is approaching 200m long.
Unfortunately, First Group's website (the bus company), does not show anything passing the junction of Gorseinon Road and Hospital Road, which is about a mile from Gorseinon bus station (which is near the junction of High Street and West Street). It would seem that a taxi from the hotel would be your best option, although you will need to have a phone number to call one for the return journey.
Google maps will allow you a street view of the junction of Gorseinon Road with Hospital Road and the entrance to the farm lane.

Subject: [GLA] Getting to Bryngwyn Farm
Hi,
During an upcoming brief stay in Swansea in early May, my wife and I would like to go to the location of the old Bryngwyn Farm that my great-great grandfather, Evan Davies, lived on as a renter in the 1840s and 1850s. Thanks to the wonderful help of some individuals on this site a few years ago and Google Earth I have been able to locate the farm's location. It was next to persent-day Gorseinon Garden Village and appears to still be open land.
We will be staying at the Dragon Hotel in central Swansea and I would appreciate any suggestions as to how we could get to the Village which appears to be about seven miles from the hotel. Would a taxi be practical? Is there a local bus route in that area? I'm hesitate to rent a car as we Americans are used to driving on the "wrong" side of the road.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Jan,
Use FreeBMD - http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
There are quite a few Parfitt births and deaths shown in Glamorgan -
have a look to see if any match a likely date.
Also have a look at the birth cert you have for James - is there a time
in the left-hand column? - this will indicate that he was a twin.

As for Gustave & Marthe you could buy the death certificates.

Roy,
If you know the name and the location, a local newspaper is prob. your best bet. If you can you supply name and location someone on the list will poss. be able to suggest a local source, e.g. Merthyr Express, Aberdare Leader, Llwchwr Chronicle etc.
Deric.
Western Mail Friday June 18 1926.
David W. MORGAN, a traveller, of Angus-street, Roath Park, was fined £10 and costs, or two months' imprisonment, by the Cardiff Stipendiary (Mr. St. John FRANCIS-WILLIAMS) at Cardiff on Thursday for driving a motor-car recklessly on May 14.
Defendant did not appear personally, and Mr. Tom JOHN, who represented him, pleaded guilty.
Mr. R. BOOTH (for the prosecution) said a Mr. DAVIES, pushing a bicycle, and Mr. and Mrs. HANN, pushing a perambulator, were walking at dusk from Rumney towards the city on the left-hand side of the road, which at that spot was 38 ft. wide. Without warning, Mr. DAVIES was struck from behind and thrown forward about 6ft. The wind-screen of the motor-car was broken, but the car was driven on for about 60 yards before it was stopped. It was chased by a motor-cyclist, who came from the opposite direction.
Mr. DAVIES was rendered unconscious, and defendant, who came back, took him to the infirmary, where he was detained for seventeen days with a dislocated shoulder and other injuries. He was (said Mr. BOOTH) still unable to work, and would be so for some time. The pace the defendant was going was variously described by witnesses as "terrible" and "terrific."
Mr. Tom JOHN said as a consequence of this occurrence defendant had had a breakdown and was obliged to go away. At the time he was driving his employer's car.
While motor-cycling with a pillion passenger on the Brecon-Merthyr road on Thursday evening Mr. Ernest David JONES, credit draper, of 29, High-street, Merthyr, was killed on being thrown off his machine. Mr. JONES was only a few miles from Brecon when the tyre of his front wheel burst, throwing him head foremost into the road. His pillion passenger, Herbert FOULKES, of Mary-street, Twynrodyn, was also thrown off, but he had the good fortune to escape uninjured. Mr. JONES was conveyed to the Brecon Infirmary, where it was found that he must have died instantaneously, his skull having been fractured.
Mr. Thomas LEWIS, of Holton-road, Barry Dock, a clerk at the Sailors and Firemen's Union, Dock View-road, was riding towards Barry from the direction of Rhoose on Thursday evening, with Mrs. JAMES, of 4, Broad-street, Barry, on the pillion, when Mr. John DUNCAN, of East Aberthaw, also with a woman riding pillion, approached from the opposite direction. There was a head on collision and all four were thrown to the road.
All were conveyed to the Barry Town Accident Hospital, where it was found that Mr. DUNCAN and his companion and Mr. LEWIS had escaped serious injury, Mrs. JAMES, however, is lying in a critical condition with a fractured skull.
Mr. John George HICKS, lorry-driver, Cardiff, for whom Mr. David REES (Pontypridd) appeared, was fined £5 and £2 10s. costs at Abercynon on Thursday for driving his lorry in a dangerous manner at Abercynon.
Hugh William WARD collier, Onllwyn, said that the lorry knocked his motor-cycle combination into the gutter. The front wheel of his machine was struck and his mother and two children, who were in the combination, were cut and badly shaken. The corner was a dangerous one, and defendant's speed was about eighteen miles an hour, and he was on his wrong side of the road.
The defendant said his speed not exceed twelves miles an hour.
The Chairman (Mr. W. FENWICK) described the case as a bad one, and defendant had previously been convicted.
Mr. Edward KARRIE, the Cardiff swimmer, was driving a two-seater car from Pontypridd to Cardiff on Thursday afternoon and as he was proceeding down the hill near the Star Patent Fuel Works, North-road, the vehicle skidded. It was heading straight for a woman walking a moment's hesitation, swung the steering wheel round. He avoided the woman, but, the car swerved into a lamp-post.
Mr. KARRIE received a bad injury to his knee, but was able to proceed home. The lamp standard was wrecked and the car was badly damaged.
The woman, who was almost in a state of collapse, hurried away.
Prescence of mind and pluck on the part of William DAVIES, an employe' of the Marina Hotel, Southerndown, in all probability saved the life of Mr. W.T. HUNT, confectioner, of 472, Cowbridge-road, Cardiff, at Southerndown on Wednesday evening.
Mr. HUNT was motoring with his wife and a friend near Southerndown when the side lights of the car refused to function. The car was pulled up some distance away from the cliff's edge, and Mr. HUNT crept under the car to investigate the trouble.
While he lay on his back trying to connect the wires leading apparently from the petrol tank to the lamp a flame shot out, and he struggled to get away from the danger. In his excitement he appears to have touched the steering wheel or brake.
The car, which by this time was well ablaze, moved forward towards the cliff's edge. Whether his clothes had caught in the machinery is not clear, but he was seen to struggle violently for freedom, and, apparently, without avail.
The screams of his terror-stricken wife, who, with her friend, was standing a short distance away, attracted the attention of DAVIES, who ran towards the moving car, and succeeded in dragging Mr. HUNT away just as the blazing vehicle hurtled over the cliff to the shore. 300 ft. below, a wreck.
Notwithstanding his thrilling experience, Mr. HUNT was following his employment on Thursday much as usual, apart from the effects of the shock.
After giving evidence against Alfred Wallace BUCKETT 25, who had robbed his firm of £7.5s.5d. worth of boots and shoes, Mr. Aubrey HALEWOOD, a director of Messrs. P. HALEWOOD and Sons (Limited), went back to the witness-box and appealed for the man. He said BUCKETT had been put to considerabnle expense through the illness of his wife; he had a mortgage on his house, and was living above his means.
The justices (Mrs. Rhoda PARKER and Sir William DAVIES) imposed a fine of 40s. or a month, the chairman (Mrs. PARKER) remarking that they had been influenced to take that course through the leniency and kindly feeling of the employers.
Mr. Joseph LEWIS defended.

Hi Jan
My first tactic would be to search on FreeBMD (http://freebmd.rootsweb.com) for a PARFITT birth between, say, 1845 and 1870 (though it will probably be between 1856 and 1864) and see if you can find a matching PARFITT death for the same forename). I am guessing that the child died young.
Alternatively, check the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census records. If you are lucky, as I was on one occasion, the child might have been alive at a census. In one case I found the child was in the cottage hospital on the night of the census rather than with his parents. He died later that year.
Bear in mind that up until 1875 it was the responsibility of the registrar, not the parents, to record/report births. There are many missing births from that period, as I have found.
Of course you might need to check alternative spellings of PARFITT.
I hope that helps.
Regards
Robert Amies

I found the following relative in The Cambrian and sent for the article.
I also made enquiries witht the Eisteddfod site [English spealing section]
and although I received an acknowledgement I never heard any more. It
seems the newspapers of the day are the only likely source of finding further
details, if any. The relative in question had designed the gold medal for
that year at Chester, and also won a prize for it.

Hi Lyn - I'm not even certain that the Cambrian references quoted are to do
with my line of research and as Jeff mentioned in an earlier post that he
could be going to the library later in the week, I thought it's wouldn't
hurt for me to express my interest in these items in case Jeff or any SKS

I had already searched on the web and the page Dai mentioned just covers the main prizes in the eisteddfodau of the past 20 years. It is the singing competitions before 1930 that I am interested in. I will probably have to plough through the newspapers Gareth mentioned, and also Y Darian or Tarian y Gweithwyr.
