Hello Cass,

They are my mother's family and I am fairly sure I am connected to the Rees family in the photograph but with so many of the names being repeated I am not 100% certain.

My family tree is here

 please take a look and see if we can join the dots!

Hong Kong Stores seems to be quite a popular name in the region for a shop - searching the welsh newspaper archives comes up with around 370 results in various villages such as Bryncethin and Cilfynydd.

The 1909 marriages found earlier were a double ceremony

Thanks a) I was aware of the Bryncethin branch. Seems to have been a precursor of Tesco Metro ! Why the name, I wonder? V odd
b) Re: double wedding I have photos of Herbert Dobbs and her watch.
