Gwent memories
Evacuee From Folkestone
I was evacuated to Llandewi on 2nd June 1940. I was billeted with Mrs Smith at Upper House, Coed Morgan. I will never forget the kindness shown, both by Mrs Smith and daughter Irene and also son Alan and his wife who had a small farm further up the road. I was only there for three months before having to pass on to the Grammar School, which had been evacuated to Merthyr Tydfil. The difference between the two places, and the people were like Heaven & Hell. I didn't return home until after four years had passed - just in time for the doodle-bugs.
My Great Grandfather's Memories
This is an excerpt from Frederick Rosher's diary written while on a visit to Trewyn Court, a family home, in 1850.
Sunday, 28th April. Went to Llanvihangel church in the carriage. There are no architectural beauties about it, it being within, perfectly plain and free from ornament, but its perfect simplicity and quietude is much more favourable for devotion than the splendid and crowded edifices of London. Mr. Price is the minister. He preached a very plain, good, simple sermon on the parable of The Good Samaritan. The church was without an organ until a year ago when a small one was presented by Mr. Rodney. I should think the attendance was below 30 putting aside Mrs. Rodney's school in the organ loft. I saw there the tablets of my Great Grandfather and the tomb of Mr. Golding.
The George Family of Tregare
The George Family originated from Tregare and I can trace the origin back to 1613. Many of the family are buried at Tregare Church Is there anyone out there who can help my go back beyond 1613? My email address ie allengeorge@ btinternet.com
Davis Family
My great-grandmother Margaret Adams, according to the Census of 1891, lived with the Davis family as a servant. The address was Bird Cottage, Main Road. I just wondered if anyone had any information? The Davis family comprised of Robert and Clara, with their children Thom (3) Mary (2) and Eleanor (7 months) and also Elizabeth Crunk, aged 72, who I would imagine is the mother in law.
Robert Faulkes
Hi, my name is Mel Faulkes and I'm looking for any family Robert had in Rockfield as I see he died in the old mill lodge, Rockfield, am I right in thinking this was a care home or not? The other address I had was 103 Rockfield Avenue. He was born in Burgh in Norfolk and he was my grt-grt-grandad's brother. I don't seem to know alot about him part from army records. If any one knew him or the family it would be lovely to hear from you. Best wishes, Mel Faulkes
Frogmore Cafe
My parents Monica and Jack Garrett ran the Frogmore Cafe from 1954 until 1978 when it became a dry cleaners when they then sold it to Sketchleys in 1980. I was their only son Richard.
Churchgoing in The 40's
My grandparents lived in Abergavenny since 1934 in a beautiful dressed stone house called Maisemore in Albany Road, and every summer after the war my family and I went to stay with them for a month, that is, until my grandfather died in March 1950, when this happy time came to an end. During the war my mother, brother and I were evacuated there, as our home was in Sunderland, which was a target for bombs, and if my grandparents hadn't taken us in, they would have had to put up evacuees from Cardiff. We used to go to this church in Llanwenarth on Sundays, and I can remember having to be taken out during the service one Sunday in 1949 because I wasn't feeling well.
