Cyril Henry Heath And The Heath Family.

A Memory of Troedrhiwfuwch.

I have been told of old troedy many times and been driven through it to Bargoed, not much there now just a post office. My step father Cyril Heath was born there in September 1934, quite a large family so somebody is bound to remember them. There was David (Dai Bill) Heath, he moved to Yorkshire where he eventually died. There's Malcolm Heath, now living on the Gilfach Bargoed estate and there is Thelma Heath, she married Tom Jones (Not the Tom Jones of course) and they moved to Bristol terrace in Bargoed.
There was a fire at the house in the village, where one of Cyril's brothers died, trying to save his wife and children, but they all died, it was on the news.

My family lived in Troedy, on the corner opposite the post office, my grand parents were Sydney and Margaret Heath. my father was Idris,and had 8 brothers and one sister Nancy Pagett.
Would love to hear from anyone if you remember any of my family.
Cyril Heath's brother Raymond, did die in a house fire, whilst trying to save his wife and children but the house was not in Troedrhiwfuwch. It was in Dowlais, near Merthyr Tydfil. My grandmother and Cyril's grandmother were sisters. Cyril also had another two sisters who both lived in Troedy and are now living elsewhere,
Hello; I am researching Sebastopol, near Troedrhiwfuwch and I wondered if any Troedy people posted here have any memories or stories about the lost community.
My family came from Troedrhiwfuwch. My father was James Albert Morris and my auntie Jane lived at number 18 High Street my uncle Charlie and auntie Mary lived at 12 Lawrence Terrace. My auntie Cred lived in the High Street and auntie Milly. My fathers cousins were Dylis and Irwin. My father moved to Bristol but we visited every month on his long weekend off. I have so many childhood memories.
Raymond was my cousin. My auntie Milly was his mother and my fathers sistet
