Hi Roy,

 :) Thank you for the info - I'll try contacting the Library.

I live near London, so I can't get to Newport easily.
A visit will have to wait till I make a trip to see my relatives in Wales.

Best wishes,

Emmy

Emmy,I have had a look at the local newspaper the South Wales Argus for April 1920
and couldn`t see any reports for a Tredegar drowning.There is a chance I could have missed it.Do you have a name and date in April,and I`ll have a look next time for you.[After Christmas ] PM me if you want.

Hello Steve, I wondered if you could help. We were looking for relatives in Penterry and one remembers seeing the well filled in at the church in 1920. I wondered whether there would be an entry in the Argus for this event and if they mentioned where it was exactly perhaps a photo. Penterry is near St Arvans in Chepstow.

I would be grateful if you could find the report. there seems to be no record of when it was done. I imagine in the summer months when the well is driest. Sorry I have no more info. One of the people was involved in filling the well up. thanks if you can help....
