Hi all,
Not sure if I'm searching the right place...but I'll try!
From what I know my granddad, Walter T Mills was born in Merthyr Tydfil in 1923, I never got to meet him. Based on what I have been told, his Mother passed away when he was a toddler, I think her name was Fanny Helsby and he was then sent to Liverpool and was brought up by his aunt. After various searches, I've found he may have had 3 older siblings named Florence, Thomas and Frank.
If anyone knows of this family, I wouldn't mind finding out a bit about my family history!
Thanks Danni

Hello Danni Do you have any address for them living in Merthyr Tydfil. There are 2 deaths in Merthyr of MILLS that could be your family a THOMAS J MILLS died under 1 year old in JUNE QTR 1921. The THOMAS you mention with a mothers maiden name of HELSBY was born in 1921 so he might have died not long after he was born . There is also a FANNY MILLS aged 28 died SEPT QTR 1923 in MERTHYR . I had a look to see if there were reports in local newspaper but could not see any. There was a marriage of a WALTER MILLS to a FANNY HELSBY registered in MERTHYR IN SEPT QTR 1919 I will have a look to see if there is a marriage report in the paper.
Mike

Hi Mike Thanks for getting back to me! I unfortunately do not have an address but this must be the case.
My granddad was Walter Thomas Mills and he was born in June 1923 and died in Liverpool in 1981, I know that when he was a baby his mother died and he was sent to Liverpool to be brought up by his aunt. We must be talking of the same family.
Thanks Danni

Hello Danni you could try putting a notice in the local weekly newspaper THE MERTHYR EXPRESS and there is a local free monthly newspaper THE MERTHYR TIMES to ask if there are any relatives of the family. All the best Mike
