 Brynamman, Aelwyd Amanw c1955 (ref: B471005) |
Aelwyd Amanw
This is a photo of Aelwyd Amanw, Brynaman. Brynaman was the first place in Wales to have its own building for running a branch of Urdd Gobaith Cymru. Although a branch of Urdd Gobaith Cymru had been established in the village since 1928, the Aelwyd was officially opened on Saturday, May 6th 1939 by Syr Ifan ab Owen Edwards who had founded the organisation back in 1922. Various members of my family have been involved with this Welsh language organisation since the 1920s, with my own involvement starting in 1961 and continuing until the present. The building has recently been refurbished and it is a focal point for many activities in the village, but is still primarily a centre for Urdd Gobaith Cymru.

Looking for my Grandfather
I'm doing some research into my Family History and am trying to trace the place my Grandfather was born in 1892. His Name was William Thomas (Willie Tom) Born in June 1892 to Evan Evans & Mary Evans formerly Jones. He was Born at Penybont, Brynamman, Quarter Bach. When I last visited the area no one could tell me wher Penybont or Quarter Bach would be. If anyone can enlighten me please e mail me at gorslasboy@blueyonder.co.uk and if possible giving directions from Gwaun Cae Gurwen. Many thanks. Cliff Evans. Posted: 27/01/2008 00:34 by Cliff Evans |

Evacuees A memory of Upper Brynamman, Dyfed My sister and I, Margaret and Maureen Grieve, were evacuated to Brynamman. I lived with Nellie, Stanley and Menna Thomas in the then new council houses. My sister stayed with the Pughs in Faifield House. My brothers joined us, Ken went to Station Rd and David to Mountain Rd. Mr and Mrs Mounford were our head master and mistress. I can remember the school burning down which we evacuees shared with the Welsh children. Can still remember odd words in Welsh. Returned a few years ago, and met up with the few remaining aunties. Would like another visit, but time is against one, too much hassle with travelling. But just wanted to say Hello. Cyru am byth. Last edited: 26/08/2008 09:03 by Margaret Parker |

My Great Granddad and Grandmother A memory of Garnant, Dyfed Hello to all. I am looking into my family history. I know my grandfather, William John Palmer, was born at Garnant on 27 October 1904, his parents are listed as Hannah Palmer, formerly Thomas, and James Palmer, Engine Driver in Colliery. They resided at Garnand Hill, Garnant. Could anyone give me any other information about them? If anyone there is related to me or knows my family line I would love to hear from you. Or photos of the time. I was adopted when my mother died so this is a long road for me to travel. Many thanks. Ann Last edited: 25/03/2008 09:45 by Ann Shaw |
