Good Morning Porth.
Can anyone help me. I am tracing my family tree and my grandfathers family are all from the Porth, Ferndale, Dowlais Area. My great grandfathers name Was William James, his wifes name was Sarah. The 1891 and 1901 census show William and Sarah living at Lake Street in Ferndale. Wiliam and Sarah had the following children: Ann, David (my great grandfather), Thomas and Gwilym. My grandfather David married Ruth Naomi Griffiths and they lived in Porth. I know that Ruth Naomi died in 1904. I believe that David remarried later, he was a coal miner and also ministered at one of the chapels in Proth (I believe). They had the follwoing children: Thomas John who married Annie Blodwyn Higgins of Porth, William (my grandfather) he married twice, the second time to Susannah Thomas of Llangynwyd and they moved to Pontycymmer. I do not know the name of his first wife, but... Read more

TREBANOG
My grandparents, Henry and Ida Gladys Ward, came to Trebanog with their two daughters during the recession in the late 1920s to work in the mines.
He had a brother, William, who worked as a butcher in Porth.
I was hoping if someone remembers the time they spent there.

JAMES THE BAKERS
The two shops on the left of the photograph are "James the Bakers" and "Shureys Footwear". The garage also on the left was called "Sully's Garage" after the owner Cyril Sully. I used to walk along this road everyday when going to Porth Grammar School in the 1960's. The photograph brings back fond memories of my childhood in Trealaw.

WALKING THE DOGS
During the 1960's as a youth, I walked my two Great Dane dogs at Garth Park, Trealaw almost every day. The park-keeper in the 60's was called "Jock" a Scotsman with a very broad accent. I also played football every Saturday morning at Garth Park for Maes Yr Haf boys club. The swimming pool in the picture was to the best of my recollection mostly closed for some reason or another and always in a bad state of repair.
