My Mothers Childhood
A Memory of Llangyfelach.
My mother was born 29th of March 1909 in hut no.8 Pontllan.llangyfelach.R. D. .Her father was a railway blacksmith so I can only assume it was a rail line camp for the great western railway during construction to the coal mines around that area.I believe she went to school at pontlliw along with her sister. She had eight stepbrothers I understand all coalminers. My mothers birth name was Doris May Evans and her father and mothers christian names were Samuel and Maud respectively . Maud was married before, her name then was Burgess and I think mums stepbrothers were Burgess and possibly lived in Pontlliw. My mothers birth was registered by Mary E. Glasbrook registrar on the 3rd of May 1909. If anyone has anymore information or photos please email me. Peter Teather. Pteather@hotmail.com
