Member Since: August 2008 Posts: 19 Send Message	I am stuck! Help please! My Grandmother was Sarah Griffiths married to David John Davies in 1911. In the 1920 or 1930 they lived in Miners Row and Edward Street Cwmgwrach and I am trying to track down their parents of both Sarah and David. Sarah Griffiths was one of 7 children and her father was David/ Dafydd Griffiths who was an overman at the colliery . He died 1929 Feb aged 60/61. Her mother was Susannah ? died 1931 aged about 63and they were quite well off owning a fish/chip shop and had the first car in the village! Apparently they lived in Glannant House in Cwmgwrach. David John Davies my grandfather and also a miner. was born Mountain Ash and died 22/8/1953 aged 71. His parents were David and Marged ?- nothing else known! Does anybody have the IGI or anything similar which might help give some detail please? I have tried the 1891 Census and many births and gave up! Any help much appreciated. Thanks! Wendy Thanks Christine, Ginny! Can't add this thanks after your posts- it just won't work! Thank you - that's a great start! I met one of my Welsh cousins last week for the first time and am fired with enthusiasm for this lost family of mine! Fantastic help! Very greatful!
