Just taking a look at the place my Mum was evacuated to during the war, she lived with her grandmother for about 8 years I think, the surname was Lewis, and my Mums was Amison, I wonder if anyone remembers her sometimes. Anyway Happy New Year to Tredegar, best wishes all.

I always heard about my great-grandmother, Mary Foley, escaping the Irish riots in Tredegar with the rest of the family because my great-great-grandfather could speak Welsh and was warned about the riot coming. It's an amazing feeling when family stories match up to real reported historical events.

I was born in the St. James Hospital in feb 1961. My Mother is Margaret Tasker (Nee Morgan). My dad was in the Army, based in Hereford, so was raised on the wrong side of the border (English side).
My Nan & Daddo (William and Nancy Morgan) lived at 4 Nan Ty Bych, and my Mum, two brothers and I used to spend a lot of time there, as dad was away a lot.
I've settled down in Belize, after 24 years in the Army, but will never forget my roots!

Research into my family history shows that both my great grandfather and great grandmother (on my fathers side) were born in Tredegar. My great grandfather was a John Williams (born in 1844) and my great grandmother an Eleanor Williams (born in 1847). The 1891 census shows they had 4 children (Ellen, Daniel Smith, Minnie and Eleazor Arthur); it appears that both Ellen and Eleazor Arthur were born in Tredegar. I would like info on a couple of things:
1.In 1844, what were the names of the registration district and registration sub-district into which Tredegar was placed?
2. Does anybody know when John and Eleanor Williams were married?
3.Any more info about these grandparents would be gratefully appreciated.
Cheers Roger.

Reply to Walter Taylor of Hobart-
Hi Alwyn, I recall you very well (and your sister). My Dad owned the horse and cart and "Trevor the Milk" is still around. By going to Pengam you lost out on the Grammar School lads.
If you see this drop a note and i will fill you in on current affairs.
