Hello Cas.  I have tried Bargoed Library, but they are quite small, and do not have  the relevant info.


Thanks  Ken

Hi Ken,

I am surprised they did not point you in the right direction, where info could be had.  You could contact then again and ask is there a main library that could help you with info in the surrounding areas.  If you do try get the email addie for the FH librarian, I have found you can get more info this way at less cost.

Glamorgan Records is another option.

Good luck

Hi Ken,
In an old leaflet I have from Bargoed library it says

'Although the main collection is housed at Bridgend Branch Library, there are also strong collections at Pontypridd and Bargoed libraries....'

However, with regards to voters lists, it only mentions,

Electoral registers from the mid 1960's to the present day...'

Perhaps Bridgend library would be able to help you.
