Hi there Monmouth listers,
My name is Jim
Patterson-Brewin and I am researching the Lydbrook Townsend family, they
lived in the area until approx 1930 and then moved to the midlands of
England.. I believe many of the family worked in the pits, Oakdale,
Gelligaer and Mountain Ash..
Would SKS assist me by locating my ancestors please in Lydbrook, My Grand
fathers birth was registered in Rhiw Sir Dafydd, Mynyddyslwyn, R.D
Thomas James Townsend born 07 Oct 1899.. My aim is to pin the family down
so I can get birthdates for his siblings.. In case it helps, his parents
were Thomas Townsend of Lydbrook (Postman) born Abt 1877 and his mother was
Elizabeth Jane Carter also born abt 1877, they were married in Bedwelty,
Monmouthshire. in abt 1898..
Know siblings of Thomas James were Alice, Gilliam, Morvith, Mary?
Cheers
Jim Patterson-Brewin
