Thomas Family, 30 Commercial Street, 1920
Hi, my grandfather William James Thomas was born 9th Feb 1920 at 30 Ccommercial Street, Abergwynfi. His father was called James Thomas, he was a collier/hewer, William's mother was Sarah Thomas. I am trying to research the family, but am stuck on James and Sarah, would anybody remember them? James would have died quite early on in William's life, not sure when, William was also known as Bill, he left Wales in 1935/36 and moved to Midsomer Norton, he died in London 1973. Would anyone know if he had any siblings, or any memories of them? Kind regards, Louise.

RE: RE: Thomas Family, 30 Commercial Street, 1920
Hi Louise My name is John Lewis, and although I have spent most of my life in the midlands, I was born in Abergwynfi. My grandmother, lived at 29 Commercial Street, she died in 1956. I can remember many happy holidays in The Cape (this was the local nickname for Aber & Blaengwynfi). My grandmother's next door neighbour was someone we always called Aunt Sarah, I presume this synonimous with your Sarah. My grandmother was married twice; her first husband was David Thomas who died in 1928. The second marriage was to Tom Jenkins who lived at 29 Commercial Street. I believe Aunt Sarah was related by marriage to my grandmother. I believe that my greatgrandmother was called grandma Lucy, and she lived with Aunt Sarah.
