Glamorganshire Completed Lookups / Re: Skewen Moths COMPLETED
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 13:30 BST (UK) »
Hello Jan
Nice to hear from you. Margaret Moth was my Great Grandmother too - my Grandfather was Edward William (known as Billy). Was your grandfather a twin (I have Annie as being born the same year)??
I have been piecing the family tree together as well (with help from my close family and a lot of help from another cousin who I havent met yet but hope to very soon). Happy to share info with you - do you belong to any of the 'ancestry' websites?
Let me know if you want to chat further.

World War Two / 42nd Royal Tank Regiment
« on: Sunday 23 August 09 17:34 BST (UK) »
Does anyone out there have relatives who served in the 42nd RTR? My Grandad served in the tank regiment throughout WWII and we know that he was in 42nd, although I think it was disbanded at some point?? He was an RSM and I feel someone must have some memories/photos of him and his colleagues. All the family photos have gone missing. His name was Frederick George 'Chalk' White.
Before joining the regular army he was a member of the TA in Clapham from 1932.
Hope someone can help

Hi Pip
I have a few pictures - and various copies of documents that my Uncle has passed onto me but no pics of Granny Darney (Margaret) or Jack (George) Moth. I think you have been chatting to Claire Darney?? and she probably has the same pictures that I do. I havent been in touch with her but I know that my Uncle chats to her regularly.
My Dad has no pictures but lots of memories and I keep chatting to him about his young days as he remembers more and more as we talk.
I guess we are some sort of cousins as Margaret Darney was my Great Grandmother too!
Might take a trip back to Skewen soon to have a look round. I have never been down to New Road or seen where the businesses were. We did check out the cemetary quite a few years ago so I have seen where both Great Grandparents and my Grandfather are buried.
Is it possible to communicate offline? This is the first time I have used Rootsweb!

Hi Pip
Not sure if you're still checking here as the discussion is quite old - but, my father is Bartholomew Darney (son of Bartholomew and Margaret's eldest son). I seem to remember him telling me that he was home on leave from the RAF when the accident happened and he was one of the first at the scene. He still remembers a lot but it was a long, long time ago!!
Also, I was chatting to him the other day and he was saying he had really good memories of Mr Moth (Jack)
If you have any photos of the old people I would be really grateful. I am currently researching all areas of the family (and also my husbands) so it's quite a task. Any help would be gratefully received.
