Does anyone in Dowlais have any information on my fathers family. Willie Jones lived at 2 market Street Dowlais, along with his mother Margaret Jones father David Jones, Sister Ann Jones

He was born in 1909 Ann 1905
/
His mother Margaret was married before and was called Evans and the children were Maggie,Thomas,Gladys,Rachel. My father joined the army as a regular soldier.then went to live in Lancashire. His sister Ann lived in Bridgend, Thomas eventually went to Bristol, Rachel married Daniel Evans and had her children in Dowlais. Gladys went to Cardiff. Maggie married Fred Eckley and lived 45 Walter Street/ I would appreciate any help about the family. Thanks in anticipation

I don't think this makes us relatives but I believe your father's half-sister Rachel may have married my grandmother's brother - Daniel Evans. They lived at 34 Market St Dowlais according to the 1911 census and had children called Osborne, Eunice, Owen, Hettie, Daniel & Rachel. You'll know from this if it's the right family. I'd love to know more about the descendents of any of these children as I've never had contact with any of my grandmother's 10 siblings. Not much help to you with your father's Jones family I know but thought it worth a reply!

Hi,
I'm still very interested in Rachel & Daniel Evans (see my earlier message) as I can't seem to get any contacts from my grandmother's very large Dowlais/Pengarnddu family. She herself died in 1962 and had long lost touch with all of them. Would be thrilled if you could help. (Daniel was one of her older brothers).
