Glamorganshire / Watts
« on: Sunday 25 September 11 17:53 BST (UK)  »
Anyone have any knowledge of Ivor Watts or Powell who was a policeman in the Maesteg / area. I have very little info about dates so all are approx. Probally born 1922 - 1935 possibly in Wales, His Mother was Maud Watts or Powell from Treherbert. I dont think he ever married or had children but possibly lived in Maesteg area as he was definatly a policeman. I can only guess he was a policeman anytime between 1950 - 1970's. I also know he has died but cannot find a death cert. Maybe Does anyone know if theres a website of ex policemen in the villages of Wales? He was my grandmothers brother but my grandmother was "adopted" as a baby. Just hoping I can find an Ivor as i dont realy have a definate surname as he may have had his fathers name? Thanks :)

Merionethshire / Commins Coch
« on: Wednesday 05 January 11 22:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi. Just starting to research my grandfathers side of family. Was Commins Coch in Merionethshire in approx 1880-1900? Or was it Montgomershire? Looking for a farm which i know was there in approx 1967 I think it was called Catel farm? Was owned ( i think) by a lady Edith Davies? She had 2 sons William John Davies and David Edwin Davies? Also a house in Commins which was there in 1967 i think was called Brynawel? An elderly lady lived there who had a corgi dog. Also relatives again in 1967 living in a little row of terraced houses near a little wooden bridge with steps going down into the houses. Would anyone know the name of the street?  My Grandfather was David John Williams who i think was born in Machynllech. Sorry its all a bit vague but as soon as i know more im sure il be back asking for help!! Sorry if im in the wrong county im new to tracing my family tree and finding it addictive but exciting. Only wish i had listened more as a child / teenager to my grandparents "ramblings" about the "good old days" Thank Gill
