I wondered does anyone know why some Italians were sent away to the IOM and others were just sent a few miles inland. My G. father Pasquale Simeone, was sent to Pontardawe from Neath with his Welsh wife and children. Could it be because he was married to a Welsh girl?
Does any one have any photos of the cosy cafe at Windsor road about 1911-1915 the cafe was run by the Ullo family who had come from Maesteg late 1911.Pasquale and his brother Matteo had come over from Italy to live with the family firstly at Maesteg then at Neath. Matteo was electrocuted at the shop around 1915. Jacqui.
