Hello Trees

Garnlwyd or the Garn is one of the older parts of Maesteg.  The Catholic Church and school are there as well as Garnwen surgery, not forgeting the Garn Inn. Untill the 1970's the old Truck Shop (a system whereby workers would be paid mostly in tokens that could only be redeemed at the company shop) was situated at the road junction leading up to the Garn Road from Bethania St.

There was a miners leader with the name 'Mabon'. Access to 19 Century Newspapers are available to those who have a membership with a library in Wales. Perhaps similar access is available overseas.

William 'Mabon' Abraham 1842-1922

Born Cwmavon, Port Talbot. Began work in the mines at the age of 10 and continued there until in the mid 1860s he travelled to Chile to work in the copper mines. On his return he worked briefly in the tinplate industry before resuming work in the coal mining industry.

He became closely involved in trade unionism and politics and became M.P. for the Rhondda in 1885. In 1899 he was elected as first president of the South Wales Miners’ Federation. Became known as Mabon in his early adulthood, a Bardic name, and was known as this throughout his career.

Hello list

I did a search on Ancestry for 1901. No sign of Ivor, just his step-sister who was born in Maesteg. but throat cancer cut her life short at age 30. The plot thickens.

Hello Eirwen

No trace of your man in the burial records. I will have to recheck what I have. This looks like your family in 1891.
