hi Cardiff
apologies are due I had not seen this message
Thankyou for taking the time and trouble to help
this is indeed my family yet it clearly states on the birth cert I have
that isaiah was born in darren felyn I may need to look again
but all other names ie parents are correct...isaiah snr and isaiah junior both
later died as a result of accidents( roof falls )in bedlinog colliery isaiah senior 1895 killed outright and junior in 1904
at home three days after a roof fall
Thankyou again it was not my intention to be rude or ignore this post
Regards
