I'm trying to find out the history of 'Bronllwyn', Tyn y Wern Villas, Trethomas, South Wales and what it was used for in the 1920's. My mother was born and brought up in Bedlinog, Glamorganshire, South Wales but it seems she spent some time in Bronllwyn around Christmas 1928. I know my mother suffered of ill health of some sort but I know very little of her childhood. I'm 82 now and would dearly like to know a little more about my mum.
