I used to live in Perthcelyn but now live in Station Terrace in the Ceiber and have done for 7 years, all my family are from here:)
Penrhiwceiber Road
Looking on the left, just below 'Ceiber Hall' was a grocery shop, I think where the white blind is down, caled 'the Meadow Stores'. My brother Desmond James started work there as an errand boy delivering goods to the customers. He went on to become a manager with the same company in Mountain Ash, Oxford Street, then it became 'Lipton Stores'. He worked with the same company, retiring as a company director with Safeway supermarkets.
Penrhiwceiber
I am helping trace my brother-in-law's family tree and we have found his 2nd cousins were born in Penrhiwceiber. We are especially interested in George Henry Hall born 1881. We have found him living at 20 Station Terrace, Penrhiwceiber in the 1911 census with his wife Margaret and listed as a Coal Miner Hewer. We gather George was elected to Parliament in 1922. Does anyone have any information or can anyone point us in the right direction when we visit the area? Many thanks, Lynda
Holidays in Penrhiwceiber
I was born 1947 in 64 Church St Penrhiwceiber. My sister and I used to spend the best part of the summer holidays there with grandfather Albert Charles Webb and Aunt Hilda Thomas. Is there any one who knows when Albert Charles moved from Bristol to S Wales? I am researching the family tree and this is one piece of information I am unable to find! The house is still owned by a family member.

My Dad
My dad was born in Harcourt Terrace in Penrhiwceiber in 1910, his name was Wyndham Stephen Jones, he started in the mines then joined the Army. My grandad was also born there, as the rest of my Welsh family whom were coal miners. My grandad was Daniel Stephens Jones, he married Elizabeth Williams. I went there on holiday as a child and remember the railway line across the road and the Moors.
Thomas Family, Please Help
My family come from Penrhiwceiber and I would like to know any information or help I can get. I am doing my family tree and I am stuck. My grandad was born there, his name was Cecil Thomas, born 1929. His father was also born there and worked in the pits, John Rowe Thomas, born 1900. I think also his wife was Josey Thomas but I amnot sure of that. I would be thankful of any help xxx Lisa xx
Penrhiwceiber Swimming Pool
I was born in 21 King Street in the Miskin 23rd May 1952. We moved to Perthcelyn when I was 4 years old. I had a great time at Perthcelyn, a friend of mine used to live in No 48 Brynheulog. I used to live in 49 Brynheulog. During the school holidays we always had nice weather in those days, we got our swimming trunks and a towel and off down to Penrhiwceiber Pool we 'd go . It was there where I learned to swim, and sometimes we would wait for the attendant to go home then jump the wall and have a sneaky hour in the pool and to this day I hear records being played on the radio like Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' and The Beatles were always being played but they were very happy days for me and I always said If I wasn't married I would move back there tomorrow and the moment I'm living in...
