    3. Hello Sue, and List Just reading this URL, I have noticed CUTHBERT Jsph 23 Alma St, Abertillery 1914, 1920, 1923 My Dad and Mum moved to Abertillery after their marriage in Tralee Ireland in 1919 untill 1922 when they migrated to Australia. Dad got work as a coal miner at the mine and they lived at No 4. Lancaster Villas, Abertillery, Mons where eldest brother Tom was born in 1920. I have a large wooden framed professional photo of my late father in his army attire after returning from WW1 in 1919 which has been backed by timber nailed to the back of the frame.There was also a large professional wooden framed photograph hanging on our sitting room wall of Tom, taken when he was a baby about 6-9 months old .I was born in 1933 and remember this picture as Tom was photographed in his birthday suit, with fat little legs crossed in the appropriate way to hide his dignity!! Sadly when I married in 1952, and left home Dad also moved away and at that time I was not interested in Family History so missed out on so much. When I asked about that photo of my brother Tom, after my parents and Tom had passed away, I was told by Toms widow and family they did not have it or it was lost. How can I find out who has taken over this photography business now in Abertillery to see if they have kept any of the old photo slides taken around the 1920's. The picture was about 2ft by 2ft.6 inches had a timber frame as was common in those days. Also missing another photo of my mother as a young woman which also went missing...might have been taken at the same place. Any help with names and email/snailmail addresses would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for any help received, Kind regards, Mary in showery North Queensland Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Griffin" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 12:36 AM Subject: [GLA] photographer in Tredegar Hi Sue, William Clayton's studio in Iron Street was included in business directories for a number of years from 1868 to 1895.

I just discovered some old photos of my family, taken by a W. Clayton, Iron Street, Tredegar. I am wondering when he was "in business"? If these photos are correctly labeled as to person then these people look much older than I would think they were when they were in Wales? Thank you.
