Monmouthshire / Blaenavon Ironworks.
« on: Saturday 08 December 12 07:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Judith, I have  looked for other works for that time and there is nothing for many miles. As for travelling 7 miles to work...it was not uncommon in those days especially if they had a horse and cart. I walked from Pontymoile to Blaenavon when I was a boy and it's not that bad. My father used to walk 5 miles to the coal mine and that was in the 1960's. Lenny.

Hi Judith, sorry to bother you but the church where they married could have been The Llanfihangel Church, Pontymoile. (See site). Lenny.

Hi Judith, the only place that they could have worked at that time that was open for that type of work was Blaenavon Ironworks. It is now an open museum. Look up the name to see the site. Hope that helps. Lenny.

Could the names be Pontymoile and Cwmniscoy which are about a half mile apart?

The Cwm is part of Blaendare near Panteg, Pontypool. It is still called The Cwm.

Pontnewydd is in Cwmbran about 5 miles from Abersychan, Pontypool. The right name is Pontnewynydd.

hanes teulu,
 Yes you are right in a way. One map I looked at had West place on the left going up the hill whereas it is on the right.Just below Japan Court. Exactly where Wilkinsons is now.Sorry about the confusion.
