Can anyone help me please ? I am having yet another attempt at tracing my family history, but with names such as Hughes & Williams, it's proving somewhat of a 'needle in a haystack' ! What I do know is that my father Jackie HUGHES was born in Pentrebach on 12th November 1923 to parents John & Myfanwy HUGHES (nee WILLIAMS), who lived at 28, Morlais Street at that time.
John & Myfanwy were married at Merthyr Registery Office on 29/01/1912, at which time he was 24 and she was 20. His home address was 2, Mardy Terrace, where he lived with his Uncle Thomas, who was born in 1848 at Llansannan, Denbighshire. Thomas (64) also had a wife Jane (64), and daughters Harriet (27) and Emma (25). At the time of her marriage to John in 1912, Myfanwy lived and worked at the Star Coffee Tavern, Castle Street, Merthyr.
I know from the 1901 Census that Myfanwy was living at 24, Gilfach Gynon, Merthyr Tydfil with her father Thomes, a 49 year old miner, his wife Sarah (39), and children Evan (12), Elizabeth Ann (11), and that in 1891, the family were living at 41, Gilfach Gynon.
Does anyone on the Forum have any links to any of those mentioned above please ? Any assistance will be very gratefully received, believe me !
