Hi Sammy-jo, sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this, due to my job I don't get online much so bear with me if you reply I will get there in the end !!

The couple of points you mention in your message are pretty close, my parents do originate from mountain ash, my father being from the penrhiwceiber area originally, and my mother from the newtown area, what is haydn colcombe's father's name, this will be interesting as my father had a cousin who moved to Birmingham, so there could be a connection here. Was the taxi driver a man or woman ? As I know a Nicola and michelle colcombe who both drive taxi's and I knew of a tommy colcombe who drove taxi's as well, he's now passed away sadly though.

Hope you get this message and it gives you something to work with in your search, get back to me with any info you have though and i'll see if I can expand on anything for you and give you as much information as I possibly can.

Regards.

Glen Colcombe.

Hiya sam, there are a few sets of colcombe's in mountain ash area, perthcelyn area, aberaman area as well. These are the ones i know of, there may be more when you start looking into it. Feel free to send me any dates you want checked and i'll see what i can clear up for you. I do still live in mountain ash (newtown), have done all my life. I'm 42. The names you mention in your post i'm not familiar with sorry. What is roy's sister's name who lives in the ceiber ? I have been on ancestry, but not for a long time now, this would be the best way to keep in touch with me through rootschat.

Thanks.

Glen.

Sorry for posting his name, I did'nt think of that, full apologies.

Unfortunately i have very little to go on, other than his name and the other pieces of info i mentioned in my first note, it's a bit of a complicated situation, which is why i don't have much to go on. How would i get to see the census you mentioned ? maybe that would highlight something for me, all this is new to me, your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much for the reply.

Regards.

Glen.

Hi helen,

Thanks for the reply, nice to hear from you. What era are you focusing on hear as the engineering side of things isn't ringing a bell, but the mining is, my grandfather ( david colcombe who was married to my nan, agnes colcombe ), was in the war first, but then moved into mining. I have,nt done any research really into the family history, but i have to say after coming across this site and forum, i'm thinking of going for it so maybe we could help each other out in tracing our roots.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Glen.
