The Bennett/Maylett Families of Pontardawe and Swansea
« on: Monday 17 June 13 16:32 BST (UK) »
Hello I am trying to find out some information about my 3rd Grandparents, Charles Samuel Bennet born 1850 in Morton in the March Worcs and Elizabeth Maylett born 1847 in  Mickelton, Glos. The family moved to Pontardawe in the Swansea Valley in the late 1800s as Charles had a job on the railway.
Any information on the Maylet or Bennett families would be appreciated.
My 2nd Grandmother Sarah and husband David Williams lived on a Farm called Plas Newydd near Cwmgors in the 1900s.
