Mid Glamorgan memories
Happy Times
I was born in Mary Street, Treharris in 1946. My name was Vicky Toogood then. I have great memories of Quakers Yard, hot summers, snowy winters, and never getting bored. We always had something to do, we walked for miles in the summer and slid down the icy mountain on cardboard in winter, those where the best days of my life.
Picnics Over The Pandy
I remember going over the Pandy for a picnic with all the family on a`Sunday afternoon. We would paddle in the stream and play hide and seek. On the way home we would stop and make daisy chains, it was wonderful.
REMEMBERANCE SUNDAYS
Many Rememberance Sundays were spend at the Abercynon Clock by members of the Abercynon branch of the Glamorgan Army Cadet Force .
Visiting Abercynon as 8 yr Old
I remember visiting Abercynon as a small child. Taken there by my mother to the house of Uncle Benjamin Jones. Having just turned 70 and lived in New Zealand for some 57 years my memories of the location of their house is vague. I do remember it being on a steep hill with a grand view. Benjamin gave my mother Haulwen away at her wedding (her Dad had died when she was only 4 years old) - her maiden name was John and she married Emrys Davies in Jerusalem Chapel , Burry Port. They lived on the Graig. Was wondering if there is anyone still living in Abercynon who can remember or link in to our family. Kind regards from Zealand Newydd.
John And Alice Griffiths
In 1911 Census my relative John Jerman Griffiths ( a Stone Mason ) and wife Alice Gwenllian (nee Evans) lived at 50 Glancynon Street, Abercynon with Alice's sister Margrett Mary Evans.
John's brother Edward (Ted) had been head hunted by Australian coaches to go to Australia to play rugby/football so not long after John and Alice emigrated to Australia along with John's siblings Edward (Ted) Henry and Albert and mother Elizabeth Griffiths widow of Evan Griffiths. A sister of John's called Mary was married to Issac Perret who was a coal miner at Miskin. Mary died and Issac remarried to Elizabeth Maud McPherson. One of Mary's daughters Delys also emigrated to Australia and was reared by John and Alice.
