Dear Glen,
I would be pleased of a scanned copy. Many of our Ebbw Vale branch
members of Gwent Family History Society reside in Brynmawr and I am a
member of Brynmawr local History Society. Also support the Brynmawr
Museum at it's new venue when I can.
My great grandfather, Lewis Cheese, came to the Town from Newton,
Herefordshire sometime after 1861. He was a cordwainer when he lived in
Hereford but worked in the Ironworks as a labourer by 1871. He was a
platelayer later on, probably part of the Ironworks employ I suspect. He
had died by 1902. His brother Denis (sic) and his other cousins lived in
Brynmawr. I know some of the families are still in the town today.
best regards
Barrie Jones, Gwent

I have discovered some names of people who attended meetings
concerning
the Railway Superannuation Fund. Most of the meetings were held in
Brynmawr. I thought I would post some of them in case someone recognizes
an ancestor. The meetings start in 1893 and go to 1900. I also have
lists of dues paid by members with the area they are from.
I would be glad to scan any or all pages if anyone is interested.
There are more names that I haven't had time to add yet
