As I will be in Wales for just a few days in June, I am wondering if any of you have links
to my maternal grandfather's family and are still living in the area from whence they
came.
William Edmunds was the son of Thomas Edmunds and Jemima Rees and was born 1844,
Ystradyfodwg, Methyr Tydfil, Aberdare, Glamorgan married Margaret Thomas born 1849 Cefn
Coedcymmer, Methyr Tydfil, Aberdare, Glamorgan. William and Margaret were married in 1868
in Dinas. They migrated to Australia, living in several mining areas in Victoria before
moving to Tasmania. They had a number of children born in Australia, including my
grandfather Lemuel Henry who was killed at Gallipoli in 1915. There a number of us in
Australia linked to various lines from William and Margaret.
I will visit the areas in Wales noted in the various documents we have and would love to
link with any local contacts to the same family.
