Hi Hazel As far as IU know there is no connection at moment but can't get back far enough yet. There are SPARKES in Pontypridd S. Wales now though. This lady is from Portskewett Monmouthshire and I realize now that I put her maiden name; sorry brain must be addled. She married an Albert HUMPHRIES in Portskewett but then left and went to Pembs. She may still have been known as HUMPHRIES there. Anyone on list please note married name. Thanks chris
