Dyfed memories

Williams

I would love to hear from anyone that remembers any of the WILLIAMS family, Gwarffynnon, Ochyrbryn and Wauncastle. I'm researching my family tree so anything would be appreciated.

CHILDREN OF THE WAR

MY BROTHER AND I WERE EVACUATED TO LAMPETER IN JULY OF 1944 COMING FROM LONDON AS OUR HOUSE WAS BOMBED. WE WERE TAKEN IN BY MARY AND JOHN POWELL IN "BARLEY MOW".  EVEN THOUGH THESE WERE TRYING TIMES FOR OUR PARENTS, IT WAS THE HAPPIEST TIME OF MY CHILDHOOD. AUDREY [LATTER] VOELKER

Trefenter

I was brought up in the village in a house called Ty Newyth which means 'the new house'. I remember every part of the village from the school to the post office, the jet plane crash on Trefenter mountain, and the old Trefenter village higher in the hills where the windmills or turbines ended up. I remember some of the families from the village. If I can help in any way I would be happy to help.

Trefenter School And Village Life

I am raised in the village and was in the school when it closed. I remember most families and events and places in the village. 07826698904

I was recalled into the army 2 days after our wedding due to the Sues crisis although I was only away from home for 4 months it was long enough for me to loose my job and so soon after the Sues crisis there was a lot of unemployment and I was the end of the queue. After some weeks we were offered three jobs with the Forestry Commission. One at Newcastle Emeyn , one at Llanwrtyd Wells, and one at Caio. Not having any idea where any of these places were we struck for Caio probably because we could spell and pronounce Caio easier than the others. Came the day of the move, the little bit of furniture we had left in one of Pickfords vans the night before followed by us in father-in-law’s little A35 car early the next morning. A very heavy pregnant wife in the front and mother-in-law and... Read more

1956 Onwards

Jennifer and I started our married life in South Wales in a little village called Caio, at that time all Welsh speaking. You may have gathered from my writings I was recalled back into the army for the campaign that was called The Suez Crisis which meant losing my job so when I got out I had to find a job to help keep my new wife in a state she was accustomed. I realized very much earlier that she was having to come down in the world if she was to marry me but thought I might be able to meet her some where around half way provided I had a job. I was only capable of manual work and my in-laws found this very hard to except as manual work were rather dirty words to them, and as far as they were concerned their only daughter could do far better for herself. I had to agree with them but she seemed to think I was the one so... Read more

Hillcroft, Lluest

I used to live in the farm house and my grandparents lived next door in the barn to Bed House. I loved it there and I hope whoever is there now is having a fantastic time. Wish we hadn't moved. x
