Hi Glen,

We must be related as I'm sure my gang lived at Mountain Ash for a bit too (I haven't done any research for a year or three so I'm running on memory power here!)  It was after they moved away from Hereford but were still working as blacksmiths.  Shortly after though I think they moved over to the mining side of things, probably fixing the coal trucks etc .  Any engineers or something like in your branch?

Cheers
Helen

Hi, I'm decended from a Colcomb family in Hereford. They were blacksmiths there.  A while later they moved to the Rhondda/Aberdare area and worked in engineering to do with mining there.  My great-great grandfather then lived in Wiltshire and worked for GWR as did my grandfather.
