West Glamorgan memories
Pontardawe
I don't recognise this as Pontardawe. I lived there for 56 years, but this looks nothing like it. I just don't recognise anything in this photo.
Pontardawe Cross
The photo you show is exactly as I remember Pontardawe in the 1960s. I was born at 7 James Street in 1955 opposite Davies the ironmongers. Cherished momories I will never forget.
James W Randall (b1933)
I have never been to Pontardawe, I am actually looking for anyone who knows my father and his family. His name was James William Randall, his mother was Louie May Randall (nee Lobb), his father George W Randal.. Anyone with any information please get in touch. Many thanks Kirsty
Paynes
It's not a memory or not mine anyway, I'm hoping it might be yours... I'm looking for information on my Great Grandad, Walter Payne, born around 1891, I think he originated from London, he married Kate Thompson and live in Cwmgorse. Any help please email me :)
Birthplace
I was born in Curtis Row, Ynysmeudwy Road in the early 1950s. My late father was a coal miner and my mother worked at the watch factory.
We moved to London around 1959 as there was a lack of work. I am now trying to build a family tree. My grandparents had eleven children and lived in Ystradgynlais on the Gurnos estate.
If anyone has any information on the Nicholls family I would be so grateful.
Many thanks.

Edward Thomas Evans (born 1923ish)
Dear friends, my mother-in-law, Joan, was once engaged to Eddie Evans whose family lived up and over a hill near Rhydyfro in the 1940s. His father was a farmer and he had a sister called Marion. Does anyone know anything about Eddie? Is he still with us? Joan would love to know what happened to him. She is coming up to 83 and has fond memories that she would like to update. Please try to help me to help her.
With anticipation and kind regards,
Sue
