Hi Susan!

Congratulations on Jack Morgan and moving back to the UK.  I'm currently living in Chicago and also hope to relocate back to Wales sometime soon.

Howell Davies?!  I'm sure that rings a bell from looking at the census records last night...  I will have to check.  According to my mum, One of the Morgan's built the houses in the Cymdda and I know they also built 4 cottages, also known as Bryn Cottages (now) on Bryncoch (sometimes spelt brincoch).

Keeping the naming thing going is great.  My grandad, who decends from Morgan Thomas (1874) was also called John Morgan (Jack) Hurcombe.  It would be great to hear from you when you have some more time and get organised.  You have my email.

Best regards,

Larisssa

Hi

The Elizabeth Barwick (1877) that John refers to who lived in Fountain Cottages was my great great grandmother.   She married Morgan Thomas (1874).  Morgan Thomas had two brothers who also died in the Parc Slip explosion - a very sad day for all but with at least 4 in the family dead, i'd say it was a harrowing time for the Thomas/Barwick family.

I was actually born in the Fountain Inn (the pub next to Fountain Cottages) and my mum still lives in Aberkenfig.  There was a Mrs Barwick at the bottom of her street but she passed away some years back, however she is survived by a daughter and I know they are relatives.

Please let me know if I can help anyone further.

Hi Susan!

Annie Thomas (1880) was born to Morgan (Rees) Thomas (1848) and Mary Hawkins (1851) at Croft House, Cymdda (Nr Sarn & Aberkenfig).

She had 7 sibiling that I know of.  Her brother Morgan (1874) married Elizabeth Barwick (1877) and they had a daughter Lillian Thomas (1900).  I know this because Lillian was my grandfathers mother.   Lillian and my grandfather John Morgan were also born at Croft House in the Cymdda.

I'm back to 1804 on the Hawkins side.

Also, two of Annie's brothers, Rees Thomas & David Thomas died in the Parc Slip explosion in 1892.  Here's the link for the death roll, there are some Davies' on their also.  http://www.welshcoalmines.co.uk/deathrolls/ParkSlip.htm


Please email me if I can help you with any other information.  lwoolls@gmail.com

Best,

Larissa  :D
