Elliott, Dance and Venables Families from Dowlais

[wes]

John Elliott and Mary Ann Dance moved from Hereford to Dowlais, they married there in 1892 before moving on to the Pengam area around 1900.

I understand a Venables family is also related in some way, however I have very little information on them other than I believe they lived in the village of Pengarnddu.  I also believe they may have been involved in the haulage of coal.

I am interested to hear from anyone with knowledge that may relate to them.
