I have obtained an Transcribed a List of Salvation Army members and visitors list for the Treforest Branch which was in the building situated behind the Otley Arms Public House in Treforest , Pontypridd.
I will happily look thru it if you think your family member was anything to do with the Salvation Army there.

no william cleeve listed in pontypridd
if you contact the heritage center via their website they will try and find him for you although they do require a little info from you of which area he lived.
there will be a small charge for research time taken aswell.
i paid about £10 and had several pages of things from them.
sorry couldnt help more.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. My grandad was from Williamstown which is in the Rhondda Valley. I believe he moved to Aldershot in Hampshire around 1940.
Thank you dave for you help. I will try the heritage centre.
Thanks again

Hi Dave
Please could you look for : PROTHERO PROTHEROE.
My late Grandmother , Ann PROTHERO born 1890 in Merthyr Tydfil. (Played the tambourine).
Married in 1909 to an 'outsider' so left. Moved round that area a bit and had family in Pontypridd.
Possibly someone else in her family might have been in the Salvation Army too.
Thank you

SORRY NOT LISTED ON MY LIST.
Although ,
I have No. 29 to 60 missing because there were no Boyce relatives on those pages sent to me by the Salvation Army Heritage Center.
If you find of her Married name let me know .
p.s.
I had a Art teacher at Abertaf Comprehensive School in Abercynon his surname was Protheroe and i believe he lived in Merthyr Vale area in the 1980's.

Gran married David Charles SMITH in Llanelly.
I will keep a note of what you found, sure there will be a connection. If not might help someone else.
Thanks a lot for your look-up

PS : Just noted your interest in the surname Coombs etc
A Mary COMBS was the Witness to David Charles Smiths Parents Wedding in Llanelly Brecon.

Hi my name is Leanne Perry.
I know this will be a long shot that i'll receive a reply due to this being posted over 10 years ago.
I'm just wondering if you still have this list and whether you would be able to see my great grandparents and give me any details as I believe they were army officers at Treforest around 1938-1942 area and they were also officers in Bridgend however I am unsure which came first. Their names were Major William Birtwistle (Known as Jack Birtwistle however it is unknown which name it is documented as) and Major Ivy Birtwistle. There may also be a record of my great uncle Warick Jeffery Birtwistle and my grandmother Audrey Birtwistle. If you would be able to find out I would truly be ever so grateful.
Best Regards
Leanne

Hello,
My mother's family were Salvationists in Treforest. I wonder if you can check their name for me. My grandparents' surname was Cole.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Will look over the next few days cant remember what info I have.
I'm unsure if this thread is still going, but found out my ancestor would've been in the Treforest salvation branch as the Blood and Fire standard bearer. I know he was associated roughly between the 1880s all the way to 1929 where they partook in his funeral, as gained from newspaper clippings.
Wondering what information they have for a Robert Hayman? It might be R. Hayman or R.W Hayman as his middle name was William.
Long shot given the dates on this thread, but thanks nethertheless :)
