Wales / Re: Why was I born in Wales?

Thanks Seoras...
Have been looking at another couple of sites and a Port Talbot chat room, and some old threads suggest that the hospital may have been used for 'forces' casualties during the war, and dad could have been sent there because he was disabled, and mum followed and as you suggest may well have been billetted with various families...dad's address when I was born was given as 19 Abbey Road, and six weeks later mum was at St Paul's rd, Aberavon......perhaps abbey road could not cope with a howling baby like me!!!!!
