Roger, Your best would be to contact Pontypridd library http://www.rctcbc.gov.uk/en/leisurelibrariesculture/libraries/libraries-locationsandopeninghours/pontypriddlibrary/pontypriddlibrary.aspx They will hold an archive of the past issues of the local newspaper 'Pontypridd Observer'. The best you can expect is a 'funeral notice' which will list the names of family etc. members but no addresses. Even then you should provide the date of the funeral (or approximate say 3-5 days from date of decease) as these notices can appear one or two weeks after that (it is a weekly publication) If Royston Watkins was someone of importance in the local community there could be an article about him but that is pretty rare these days - you are stretched to find even news in these papers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger M Evans" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2013 10:11 PM Subject: [GLA] Obituary Pontypridd 1990 Royston Edward Watkins

Many thanks for your reply and advice which I shall follow up. I recently made a similar request to the Rootsweb group in New South Wales and as a result of similar advice to yours have found a large family of cousins in the Sydney and Melbourne areas. Thank you again Roger
