My great grandmother

It's not a memory of mine but, she was my great grandmother and I am not sure of her first name although I know her surname was Powell.  She was a mother to grandad, who's life so tragically ended, she died in a fire, a caravan fire, in Hengoed.  I would like to know about her, and would like even to know her name and where she is buried.
I believe that everyone should be remembered and I think that I am the only one who wants to remember.

RE: My great grandmother

Hi Tammy,
I just found this site today and saw your memory. I was born in Ystrad Mynach and went to live in Cefn Hengoed when I was 5 years old.
It's really sad about your Great Grandmother!
I'm doing my family tree and if you want I could look up your family in the Census records. I would need more info such as your Grandads full name and date of birth. The only other thing I could suggest is to contact the local history group in Hengoed or Ystrad perhaps through the library. There used to be a library in Ystrad I know.
Anyway I wish you luck and let me know if you want my help,
Cathy

Is your grandather Henry Powell? My father is Harold Powell, (passed away now) Henry's mother is my father's sister. And when Henry's mam died in a caravan fire my father's mother adopted him. You should know me, Brian Sharpe's mother. Hope you get in touch soon.
