West Glamorgan memories
Decendants of The Reeves or Phillips Family of Swansea
Does anyone have knowledge of Richard J Reeves born 1877 and sisters Mary Elizabeth born 1878 and Matilda born1880 at Swansea? Their father was Albert George Reeves and their mother was Elizabeth Peters. Are you a relative of theirs? I am doing my family tree and have hit a wall with the above names. I am also looking for decendants of George Phillips born 1862 at Swansea, he married Mary Elizabeth Reeves and had 16 children all together, my grandmother Elizabeth (Lizzie) born in Swansea in Dec. 1900 was one of the children along with Gillbert, Albert Owen, Ernest George,Alexander, Florence Annie, Edith May and many more. My gran Lizzie married Pasquale Simeone in 1922 and lived in Neath and Pontardawe.
Treboeth
Does anyone remember Bryn Row in Treboeth, Swansea? I was born there just after the Second World War. My parents were Tom and Lily Evans, my brother Len was 12 when I was born. We moved to Penlan in about 1948. I have a vague memory that the cottages were halfway up the hill from Brynhyfryd Square. I have been trying to find a photo but no luck so far.
Swansea Vale Smelter Workd
Does anyone have photos of Swansea Vale Works? I have tried to find photos but cannot locate any. My grandfather lived in Heol Las area but unsure if in any of the houses shown. Name: Reginald Davies Worked in Swansea Vale Cynder Plant for many years. Any photos would be appreciated. Thanks, Wendy
My Grandparents House
My grandparents bought the second house in this picture (number 343) in the 1930s, so they were living in this house when the picture was taken (1938). Their names were Daniel and Annie Owens. When this photo was taken my mother, Gladys May Owens, lived here, she was 19. If anyone knows anything about the family or knows who took this photo then I'd love to know.
Thankyou!

Memory of When I Was About 5 Years Old
My parents -- Glyndwr and Georgina Jones -- both grew up in South Wales. After marrying they moved to Manchester and I was born soon after in 1950. In 1955 my mother became pregnant with my brother Glynne, and I was sent to live with my Nana and Dadcu -- Gwenllian and Dau Jones -- in Peniel Green for the duration.
My Nana's sister, my (great) Auntie Sal, owned and ran Llansamlet's cross-roads corner grocery shop and cafe: she lived up above the premises in what seemed to me at the time to be a luxurious flat. This entire dwelling was magical to me as a child. Last I looked it had been converted into a take-away joint.
My Nana and my (great) Auntie Sal had two sisters who lived nearby. My great Auntie Maggie lived -- as I recall -- in one of the houses on the left of this photo. My great Auntie Ethel lived a bit further south down the... Read more
Peniel Green
My in-laws and their relatives lived on Peniel Green Road, not Heol Las as Dr Suschnigg suggests. I married my husband in 1949 and moved to Manchester.
Many times we travelled on a motor bike from Manchester to Llansamlet, over the Brecon Beacons where the mist could be seen way below us. We used to sing at the top of our voices, probably irritating the people in Brecon - it would have been about midnight that we passed through!
I doubt that there would have been 'rubble' as a result of bombing between Auntie Sal's shop and Mamgu's house. Most of the bombing (three nights in a row) was over Swansea.
I worked in the laboratory, what was then the Anglo Iranian Oil company, until I married. In 1964 we moved to Canada.
Dr Suschnigg's memories are very touching, but we haven't seen our daughter for about fifteen years.

Samlet School
I was born in 1934 in BonyMaen. I attended the school there until it was bombed, all the kids then were bussed daily to Samlet School. I emigrated to Canada in 1967 with my husband and two boys Robert and Paul. Have not been able to find the school, has it been demolished? It would be good to hear from some old pupils of that school. I left Samlet school in 1949.
