Lel Jenkins The Barber
A Memory of Pontlottyn.
I was born 15.10.32 above the Barber's Shop in the Square and subsequently taken to Rothesay, Bute where I was brought up. Dad was a Master Mariner, lost at sea 19.10.35. My Mother was Leah Drury, born 17.06.07 daughter of Jemima Jenkins and Henry Edward Drury a Master Barber and apprenticed to Lel. He had been born in the Old Workhouse in Biddenden, Kent. In 1914 Jemima Died of Cancer and Henry remarried and had 2 more sons....His second son was born 31.12.17 which was a month after Henry was killed at Cambrai on 1.12.1917. Mother's family included Griffith Jenkins (The Rock) and a Welsh Bard...Jenkins and Lewis-Williams was the family line and shotgun weddings were popular! I don't know of any living relatives in or near Ponty...
