Hi,
Apparently there have been 6 books called "Blackwood Yesterday " written by
Ewart Smith in the last several years which are collections of old photos of
Blackwood.
If there is anyone with access to these books I'd like to know if there is
any reference to the house called Sunnybank House, on Sunnybank road or
Sunnybank Hill. Formerly called Foundry House, Foundry Hill, the Rock
Foundry or Charlestown Foundry. The family who lived there between 1841 and
1949 was called Treharne.
So far I've discovered this much :
Evan Treharne 1781 Living in Foundry

(b. 1811 widowed before 1851)
