I'm wondering if anyone out there has been researching Annie Davies of Maesteg that was deeply involved in the Welsh Revival.
She was known as the Maesteg Songbird and worked very closely with the Rev. Evan Roberts.
In my family we have several Annie Davies' and family stories include one who sang "professionally". Annie Davies would not be a direct ancestor of mine but I believe would have been a cousin to my Gran.
If there is anyone who has discovered this Annie in their family trees, I would be very interested in comparing families and see if I can link my family and hers.

Hi
Just saw your message as I was Googling Annie Davies - she was the daughter of Richard and Hannah Davies of Pontycymer, Glamorganshire. Her older brother David Richard Davies (1889-1958) was a theologian, journalist and cleric. His biography will shortly be added to the Dictionary of Welsh Biography website http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/index.html
