Hello

DICK Tylellwyd was my Great Uncle, my Grandfather Rees Davies, Brychgoed and Bessie are all buried in Brychgoed Chapel. Senny.
Their Cousins at Porth were the first family of Thomas Davies the Blacksmith of the Sun, Senny.
Uncle Davy, Porth was a regular visitor at Brychgoed Farm.

Jonathan -

it may be that you're just posting that for general info in case it's of future use to anyone interested in this family.

But just in case you're under the impression that you're contacting Maureen in particular, please note Erika's advice above.
To send Maureen a private message, you need to click on her name in green at the top of one of her posts, and then use the resulting online form.

Your private message, and her reply (if any), won't appear on this thread, but will be done by email via GR.

You have more chance of contacting her in that way than by hoping that she will happen to look at this old thread again after so long.

Welcome to the boards, Jonathan.

As you've noticed, you've resurrected an old thread.
Maureen is unlikely to be looking for replies here now - hence Erika's advice above.

If you follow that advice, then so long as Maureen has kept GR advised of any change to her email address, they will notify her by email that there's a message from you in the system.

If you're lucky, she'll receive and read it, and reply.
No guarantees, though.

If she does reply, her reply will come to you by email, via GR, and not on this thread.

To try to contact Maureen, click on her name and send a message. She will have the chance to reply, if she so chooses, and is able.

Hello, this is a bit late, Dick Tylellwyd was my Great Uncle and my Father's Favourite. My Grandfather was Rees Davies, father of Jonathan and David both born at Brychgoed Farm, Heol Senni, Sennybridge.

AUNTY CHARLOTTE has always been a family mystery.

Thank you, that all looks very promising, I will have to get back to my tree to see if I have any of this information to confirm, or investigate further as to how it fits. Unfortunately I am having a lot of problems with my computer lately so it may take some time but I will definitely let you know what I come up with. Your help is most appreciated.

Maureen, ignore my comment(s) on Charlotte dying in 1922, I was getting myself confused!

I thought the same thing too, people calling people 'uncle' when in fact they were not uncles.

Would this be Richard and David in 1841?

I think it's possible that Richard (Dick) may have been Charlotte's cousin as, when I was a child, I was brought up to call my parents cousins uncle & auntie

AQ, she died in Ealing in 1972 aged 89, she was living in Greenford, with my uncle, Hubert Harrington & had been for many years, certainly through my lifetime & they had previously lived in Brixton.

Austin Q, yes that is my grandmothers family.

Gins , no my grandmother, Charlotte Little died in 1972, so not sure who Charlotte Little who died in 1922 was

Age out, but possible?:

Death Index
Name: Charlotte Little
Birth Date: abt 1880
Date of Registration: Mar 1960
Age at Death: 80
Registration district: Cardiff
Inferred County: Glamorganshire
Volume: 8b Page: 210

There are other possibles in different areas

Doh!!!

Of course it was Dea! Charlotte is on the 1939 Register - which I posted!!!

Added: Still can't see a death for Charlotte Little?

It was Richard's mother Elizabeth who was said to have died in 1922 Ginns. (in opening post).

Dea x

AQ looks like you have the right family. I've added to my census information (above) to make it clear that it is NOT correct.

I'm still convinced that 'Richard' was merely known as 'uncle' and was not in fact a 'blood' uncle.

Am I right in thinking that 'Charlotte Little' died in 1922? I'm sure I've read that somewhere but I can't see her death? :-S

hi Austin Q, yes that is my grandparents in the 1911 census, they lived in Dyfodwg Street, I believe it was a general grocery shop, the only error is the youngest son his name was Hubert Harrington not Herbert.

Hi Gins, my grandmothers father was David Davies not John so I don't think this is the correct thread, although there may be some connection, grateful for your assistance.
