    3. My Gr-grandfather John Charles Worth (1830-1897) of Bristol worked in Wales for several years. Not sure exactly where he worked in Wales but in 1876, The Pontypool Iron & Tinplate Company Ltd. had two sites -- Osborne Rd. Pontypool & Pontmoel. The Pontypool Town Forge operated at the rear of Osborne Rd. alongside the Afon Llwyd River. The records do show he worked there as per the 1871 Census for Abersychan, Trevethin, Wales & the family were still living there in 1873. He worked as a Clerk, at the British Iron Works, Abersychan. On the death cert. of young son, William John, 3 November 1873, and buried St. Thomas, Talywain, it actually stated he was a Clerk at Iron Works. 1881 Census, they were back in Bristol at 1 Easton Parade. Later in life he owned a News Agent shop in Fishponds, Bristol. Edna - Ottawa
