Hi Jill, I remember your name from when I was last on this list - a long time ago! More recently I have been busy publishing my book 'High Hats and Harps', about Lord and Lady Llanover. There's a slight family connection to the Estate and I became side-tracked!! My interest in the Rhondda lies with the Davies family, printers, Treorchy and Tonypandy. At the moment I would like to know more about my great-grandmother Winifred DAVIES (nee JONES) - 1844-1932. Her birth was registered on 31st May 1844 by her father Robert JONES, Schoolmaster, Priory Hill, St. John's, Brecon. She died at 224 High Street, Treorchy at the age of 85 (?), widow of Daniel DAVIES, a Master Printer, and was buried in Treorchy Cemetery with her husband Daniel. (Q2/3) According to her obituary in the Glamorgan Free Press and Rhondda Leader, Saturday, January 23rd 1932, Winifred had been a faithful member of Noddfa Welsh Baptist Chapel for over 60 years. She was a brilliant public speaker who took an active part in local electioneering campaigns and was highly respected throughout the district. Robert JONES, her brother, was living at 126 Bute Street, Treherbert in 1896. The name Maglona (JONES?) is wandering around in my mind! I have quite a few bits of information about the family, but Winifred, and her public speaking, intrigues me. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful.

Hi Helen, My great Uncle Johnnie,[another Jones but not yours] also lived in Bute Street. He would have probably known your family as he was a Farrier and has worked [probably whilst out of work] at the Bute Hotel. He died 51 Bute St., Treherbert, Glam. aged 78 in 1959. I can remember going to see him and his wife when I was young. Do you happen to know who Daniel's father was and if they were both born in the Rhondda?
