Hello Mary
Just noticed I made a typo - of course should be town of Ebbw Vale.
Have had a good look, at James Bevan. His birthplace on the 1851 census is given as
Cummar.
This from: "The Scenery, Antiquities and Biography of South Wales: From Materials
Collected During Two Excursions in the Year 1803, Volume 1" (Google eBook):
Coed y Cummar is a suburb of Merthyr Tydvil (Yydfil).
Regards
Helen
