Dear Bessant and Cardiff
How exciting!  I'm sure I can fill in the blanks on Tom, Nesta and family.  Yes, they did have the shop - I think it was at 43 Llewellyn Street, Pentre, from memory but I only went there the once.  My mum and auntie (two of Tom's daughters) were evacuated there during the war and went to the local school so they remember it well.
Nesta died very recently in her late nineties in Bracknell.  She married a Canadian by the name of Fred Brown in 1939 and had one daughter, four grandsons and quite a number of great grandchildren.
How of we exchange email addresses?  Sorry, I'm a bit of a novice on the forum!
Cheers

Hi all
I am the granddaughter of Thomas Reed who was Moses Reed's grandson (see 1911 census).  If Moses' tall tales were anything like my grandfather's, Waterloo will definitely be a red herring!  Our branch of the family has been in England for the last eighty years or so and my grandfather's younger sister, Auntie Nesta, left the Rhondda after their mother (Mary Ann Reed, née Lewis) died in 1973. 
To reiterate Millymollymandy's question, do we know whether 'our' Richard Bevan Reed is the same chap as the poor unfortunate who died in Cardiff in 1840?  Any help much appreciated!
