Road name very difficult to read - could be WaundewS Rd - but that's a guess really

on same road - few houses away from them is the King of Prussia  and the Cambrian Inn -if that helps to locate the road

Looking into my roots and creating my family tree. I came across these names. Leah Bevan Steley was my third great grandmother.  Are you directly related as well. Would love to see what you have found.
