Thank you Mar for that info, it all makes sense now! My parents, at the time of my birth 1950 and my brother's birth 1954 were running a pub, the Victoria Inn in Sigginstone which is close to St Athan's RAF base. My brother was born in St Athan at the base! I was born in May 1950 so my mother would have gone to the same clinic she went with him. Also in March 1950 the biggest aircrash, at that time, happened in Sigginstone when 80 people were killled coming back to Llandow airport, in the field opposite them, missing the runway. They were coming home from the Wales/Ireland Rugby in Ireland,my dad was one of the first on the scene. This happened 2 months before I was born so maybe my mother suffered the shock of that and was sent to Gwyn Mor Nursing Home as a precaution? She and I were there for 3 weeks. My father was unable to visit us due to having to run the pub and it was such a long way away from Cyncoed in Cardiff. Sunday the pub was closed in those days and there was not any transport running. I have just been reading up on St Athan and it has quite an history, so interesting. No housework for me today ha ha!
