Monmouthshire / James Gomer Thomas Tredegar
« on: Thursday 06 September 12 12:33 BST (UK)  »
Hello I hope someone can help in finding some information on James Gomer Thomas. While we know details of his marriage, children and death, we know little to nothing of his parents or siblings, if any.
James was born in Tredegar (Bedwellty) 17/07/1914 and believe his mother’s maiden name was Williams but we are not sure of this. He was apparently not brought up by his parents but another family called House (?). He married Catherine Elizabeth Hurlow on 9/10/1937 and they had 4 children.
James enlisted in the Army with the South Wales Borders and was transferred to the Gloucester Regiment and then to the Royal Welch Fusiliers. He was posted to India and Burma where he was killed in action on 6th May 1943.
If anyone can shed some light on James G Thomas’ parentage and childhood we would be very grateful.
Thanks in anticipation
Tinker

Monmouthshire / Look up Your Genes - BBC Radio Wales
« on: Friday 01 April 11 13:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi

Don't know if I'm allowed to promote radio programmes but a new series of Look Up Your Genes starts on Sunday 3rd April at 17.30 on BBC Radio Wales.

The radio programme, predominantly features the new heritage centre in Ebbw Vale and also the life of Eugene Cross.

BBC radio Wales is on 657 & 882AM, 0117 Sky Digital, 714 Freesat and FM 93-96 and 104. There's also BBCi Player. Hope I'm right on this.

The new heritage centre looks pretty interesting, from the ideas I've heard put forward.

Just for your information.

Cheers
Tinker

Hi Sorry to jump into this chat but I am finding it difficult to find some detailed information on my uncle Eugene Cross. He was in Gallipoli and Fance with RAMC. Please see a copy of his Medal Card.

This is all I can find any other information would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Ian

Monmouthshire / Railway death 1905 Taylor
« on: Thursday 19 August 10 06:58 BST (UK)  »
Hello

Can anyone please point me in the right direction? My great grandfather, John Taylor, who lived in Victoria in Ebbw Vale died on 1st February 1905 at the age of 31. I have been told that he was killed on the railway but have no information to back this up. He was a coalminer and left behind 6 sons.

Would there be any newspaer coverage?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Cheers
Ian
