Hi Do you have any Pontypool records? My gg grandparents married there in 1873. Rachel Jones and Lewis M. Reese. They are proving particularly elusive in searches.

My Greatgrand father Noah Howell was a Coal miner in LlanSamlet, came to the USA and settled In Martins Ferry, Ohio, as a Coal miner in 1869. My other Greatgrand father Wyndham Davies was a tin sorter in Pontypool, and settled in Martins Ferry, Ohio as a Mill worker in 1873. How did they know where the jobs were in the USA? Wyndham N.
