I have some more info on this family now so maybe someone will recognise them -
Richard Thomas married Bessie Griffiths of Pystyll Gwyn, Pontardulais (1919). They emigrated to Gary, Indiana. Richard had already been living in Canada I think (EMIGRATED 1913) and joined the Canadian forces in wwI. He came back to Wales for a visit after the war and married.
William (Ewart) Thomas married Sarah Olivia Davies whose father was D T Davies of Derlwyn, Pontardulais. He emigrated in 1929, with his family, to join his brother. William was a bit of a musician (violinist) and is said to have entertained passengers on board the Queen Elizabeth.
c 1948
David John Thomas residing Cawders Fforest, Pontardulais
Thomas Thomas residing Coedbach, Pontardulais.
Samuel Thomas residing Swansea Rd, Pontardulais.
Luther Thomas residing Newport.
The Thomas girls are still only known to me by their married names but in 1948 they were living as follows;
Mrs W Llewellyn John, Dulais Grove, Caereithin, Fforestfach.
Mrs J J Davies, James Street, Pontardulais.
Mrs Gwilym Williams, Bath Ave, Morriston, Swansea
Mrs A J Wiggins, Gore Terrace, Swansea
Mrs A O Morgan, Caecerrig, Pontardulais
Mrs Robert Armishaw, Gary Indiana or Chicago.
(all deceased)
Does anyone now recognise this family who could help me to go backwards?
