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

There's an area called Darran Valley on modern Google Maps to the southwest of Tredegar.
Perhaps this webiste will help-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi hugheszee,

when I found Darenfelen on the Census for our family I googled and found this place:

Hope this helps, regards Peonie
