Hi Anna Have you checked the various trade directories on the genuki page for Ystalyfera ? There's a stationer called John Griffith Davies mentioned in 1910 and 1923, although doesn't specify Wern as such - and some entries do. But I can't see anyone called Griffiths running a stationers anyway. There is this entry; Carr, Norman, stationer, Wern http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Llangiwg/Ystalyfera/#Directories I guess you've looked at the 1891 census extracts, also on genuki http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/GLA/Llangiwg/1891census4467a.html Gareth Genuki Wales http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/ Help Page http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html Cwmgors/Waun http://www.tytwp.plus.com/Waun/Waun.html -----Original Message----- From: AnnaDinahThomas@aol.com Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2011 1:14 PM To: GLAMORGAN@rootsweb.com Subject: [GLA] Wern Stationers, Ystalyfera late 1800's to early 1900's My great grandfather David Davies lived at Wern Stationers in the late 1800's and early 1900's wit his wife Mary Ann, daughter Dinah (my grandmother), stepdaughter Margaret and son John. I believe that in the 1920's it was still in the family but being run by a ?David Griffiths. Does anyne have any knowledge of the shop and family. Diolch. Anna
