My great-grandparents owned a grocer shop in Penycae in the 1890 - 1920 era and the name was Thomas Francis, and had eight children, four boys and four girls. One of their daughters married a music teacher called John C Powell of Rhosllanerchrugog. A great-uncle of mine was Fred Williams who was headmaster of a Penycae School in the 1920s. Does anyone  remember a  family member, grandparents? I should be very grateful to learn some more of my family history.
