Looking At My Origins
A Memory of Pontypool.
My maternal family, Smiths and Meredith's, hail from the Pontypool area. My great grandmother , Matilda Smith (nee Meredith) lived in Waunfelin and ran a children's clothes/knitwear business from her house at the beginning of 20th c ( Fowler St). I visited Pontypool in 2012 and visited many local landmarks especially Pontypool Market. I come from Aberdare but have lived in Scotland for many years. My great grandfather Patrick O'Brien came from Cork and married my grandmother Gertrude Smith . He was in the early cinema / theatre business in the area and became an actor.
