Welsh Revivial 1904
« on: Friday 12 January 07 22:43 GMT (UK) »
I'm wondering if anyone out there has been researching Annie Davies of Maesteg that was deeply involved in the Welsh Revival.

She was known as the Maesteg Songbird and worked very closely with the Rev. Evan Roberts.

In my family we have several Annie Davies' and family stories include one who sang "professionally".  Annie Davies would not be a direct ancestor of mine but I believe would have been a cousin to my Gran.

If there is anyone who has discovered this Annie in their family trees, I would be very interested in comparing families and see if I can link my family and hers.
Glamorgan - Doyle, Davies, Herbert, Hough
Hampshire/Isle of Wight - Day, Inkpin/Inkpen, Jackman, New, Dennis
Gloucestershire: Ball, Herbert
also: Edwards, Rogers, Gollob, McQueen, Trotter, Maxwell

Hi

Just saw your message as I was Googling Annie Davies - she was the daughter of Richard and Hannah Davies of Pontycymer, Glamorganshire. Her  older brother David Richard Davies (1889-1958) was a theologian, journalist and cleric.  His biography will shortly be added to the Dictionary of Welsh Biography website http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/index.html
