My grandad was Arthur Connah.  As far as I know he was born around 1900 in Mold.  He married Nellie Salome Aldersey who was from Stafford around 1919 (sorry about vagueness here) and had 3 children whilst still living in Wales.  He was a coal miner.  The three children were Evelyn (1920 - 2000) John Alexender (1922- 2001) Bertha (1923-1990).  They then all moved in the late 1920s to Nottinghamshire, along with several of his cousins.  My Mum was born shortly after they moved Noreen Connah (1930-1995).

The Connah's were boxers and I found the following information today:

Connah Arthur(Sutton-in-Ashfield) total bouts 13 - active 1930s
Connah Battling(Mansfield) total bouts 40 - active 1920s to 1930s
Connah Ben(Mansfield) total bouts 17 - active 1930s
Connah Boy(Sutton-in-Ashfield) total bouts 26 - active 1920s to 1930s
Connah Charlie(Mansfield) total bouts 32 - active 1920s to 1930s
Connah Ginger(Sutton) total bouts 10 - active 1930s
Connah Young(Mansfield) total bouts 7 - active 1920s to 1930s

My Grandad (Arthur Connah) died in Skegby, Nottinghamshire in 1975.  He was a coal miner, a union man and a labour councillor.

Your Grandad was (I am pretty sure) , my Grandad's brother :-)

He definately had a brother called Ben who lived in Sutton - and I think my Mother talked about a cousin Ben Connah too - his son?
