'Mabon' Abraham
My Great-great-grandmother on my Mother's side of the family was a cousin to William 'Mabon' Abraham, the miners' leader and first President of 'The Fed'. I was wondering if there was any way anyone out there reading this may be able to help me fill in some of the blank spaces in my Faniky History, please? Or perhaps point me to a local Society in Cwmafon/Llanfabon where I may find what I am looking for?
My mother remembers Margaret Carpenter (nee Abraham), her great-grandmother, who died when my mother was a young girl and would like to learn more about her family.
Sincerely,
Caroline Scott.

RE: RE: 'Mabon' Abraham
Hi Caroline
I am not sure how much I can help, but on my father's side my Great Grandfather's sister Ellen was apparently married to William 'Mabon' Abraham's brother David Abraham. All I know from family memoirs is that like my ancestors [the Vaughans] William and David Abraham were born on Copper Row, Cwmavon. Through my late Gt Aunty Jenny Vaughan we have quite a lot of family knowledge about people living on Copper Row, if you think that may be of help then please just let me know. Sadly none of our family live in Cwmavon anymore.
Best wishes, Jane Caroline Vaughan Gronow
