Thanks Sian, William is my wife Alison Billingam (nee Ellis) GGrandfather, her grandfather was Frederick Ellis, and her father was Arthur Ellis who married Olive Rose Bateman, you are right about a lot of the Ellis clan moving to the Bridgend area for the mining. Frederick moved to Brynna, not far from where my wife was born in the village of Llanharry, she moved away from the area in 1987, and we have only just started to delve into her side of the family glen
