Hi
I am trying to gather more information about my paternal grandmother. Her name was Ruth Etta Richings born in Garndiffaith in 1889. Her parents were Henry Richings born in 1853 in Buscot, Leicestershire. Her mother was Ann Morgan? born in 1855 - 1936.

Ruth was born 4/12/1889 and died in Pontypool in 1971. I have found any record on the 1911 census other than a Ruth Riching at Camp Road in the Wales Census Summary of that year. I am not entirely convinced that this entry is my grandmother!
 
She had several siblings and half siblings, therefore she must have had some relations somewhere.
My fathers name (her son)was born in Stoney Road, Garndiffaith in 1919. His name was Cyril Johnson Richings. No father recorded on the birth certificate although I do know who he was.
Any info gratefully received.

Thanks in anticipation Ruth 

Hi
New to the family search thing and finding out its a complete minefield!!

I believe that I am related to Trewartha's, which has come as a surprise to me as I thought all my family originated from Wales apart from my Great Grandfather who came from Norway!

My great grandfather Johan Bernhard Johanson was born in Norway and married Mary Elizabeth Davies. Her mother was Mary Jane Trewartha. Her first husband was Herbert Davies, but when widowed, she remarried and became a Heard.

Mary Jane Trewartha's parents were William Trewartha (1799) and Elizabeth Hitchens.(1797) I must say, it has been very confusing so far and that's attempting to research family from this country so I know I'll have my work cut out with the Norwegian lot!!!
