« on: Saturday 10 September 16 13:39 BST (UK) »The newspaper report on Patti Folland's wedding was fascinating. To think that they even had a gift from David Lloyd George and his family!
It's not surprising that the Follands were so popular, Mrs Lilly Folland's generosity was legendary after all.
I'm curious though to find out more about one of the guests:
"Miss Eiluned Jenkins of Glanamman, cousin of the bride"
If anyone has any info on this lady, I'd love to hear from them.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread.

[ Hi Dave,
I Can't help you with info on Miss Jenkins, But I can let you know that my grandfather worked for Lilly Folland from about 1932 and his brother before him, possible through the 1920's. The old Llwynderw Drive still exsites, but is delapitated, one gate is still hanging on the pillars at the entrance to the old Llwynderw drive, but has almost rusted away. Lloyd George used this drive many times on his visits to the Follands. I was born in the lodge at the bottom of the drive, and now live in what was the chauffeurs cottage about 50 yards up the drive. My family have lived on the Llwynderw estate since the 1920's. There is much more to say, but I am writing this quick as I've only now, this morning. discovered this site and your interest. Hope I'm doing things in the right way.]
