Family Peat Cutters.
A Memory of Parc.
Cwm Tylo, is very special to my maternal family. The land was owned by the Cistercian order. My 5th great grandfather Robert ap Cadwallader was born there in the 1680s.The family adopted the name Roberts and farmed there for at least 150 years. There is a slate memorial, in a nearby field commissioned by my 3rd great grandfather Robert Roberts, in the 1830s.It commemorates the terrible floods of that era. This postcard has great significance the man second from the right is my great Uncle David Davies, his older brother is fourth from the right, he was Evan Davies. As the photo was 1925, my grandmother may have been expecting my mother.
