Hi there thanks for the note and the offer to look into it.

I wish I had more information.  It seems like an odd place to get hung up on research but until I can get back farther than 100 years and start looking at public records it is somewhat difficult.

Willy John had a girl Rae (she is the eldest) and 2 boys, Alan Edward from a first marriage (born April 11... 1938 I believe) and Peter from a second who was about 18-20 years later.  He was a cabinetmaker and undertaker, I guess you had to wear more than one hat at the time to make ends meet.  I also believe they were baptists so the records would not be in the regular parish registers.

Peter still lives in Goodwick, he moved from High Street in Fishguard where he and his wife Patricia had a gift shop.

Fishguard area.  I am looking into my own family in the area with the surname JOHN.

My father emigrated to Canada in the late 60s.  I am planning a trip there in the fall to visit and see what I can find out.

My grandfather Willy John was a carpenter and undertaker there prior to his passing in the late 70s.

Regards,
Christopher Scott John
