Evans Family Treorchy

[Davidjf]

Hi,
I'm very new to this and am looking for any information on my mother's (Violet's) side of the family.
Her father was called Thomas James Evans, and he grew up in Treorchy with his brothers Trefor and Mathias?, and sisters Lily, Betty and Eva. Thomas was a miner, and was a prominent communist party member. His father (my great grandad) was called Daniel and had a brother John and as far as I know the whole family lived in Tynybedw Street in Treorchy. Had he lived, my grandad (Thomas) would be around 100 years old now, although I don't know his exact age. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
With thanks
David

Do you know when your grandad died,maybe we can find a birth year from that.

have you tried searching for him on the 1911 census using the advanced search? You know that he would be about 100, so born 1911 +/- 2 years with Daniel in the same household in Pontypridd registration district. I've just tried the search on this site

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

and there's only one Thomas James that shows up.

Mathias isn't so common as a first name and I think it may actually be the mother's maiden name.
