BARRIE
LEWIS
We
are sad to report that Barrie Lewis of Cheltenham passed away
on July 11, 2010.
Barrie
was a brother to Marilyn, Graham and the
late Councillor Gordon Lewis of Cwmparc.
He
was born in Dunraven Terrace, Ynyswen and attended Penyrenglyn
Junior School and Pentre Sec.
Although
Barrie
had moved to Cheltenham many years ago, he will be remembered
fondly by many of us locally from his regular visits back to
the Rhondda
and for his lifelong commitment to rugby.
His
funeral service is being held on Thursday, July 22 in
Cheltenham. |

| My
name is Stephen Hawkins, and I live in Wigan, Lancashire.
My
Great Grandfather, Thomas Hawkins (b. 1856 in Upper Lydbrook,
Gloucestershire) Abandoned his children in Wigan, and
remarried.
The
first child of that second marriage was Victor Thomas Hawkins
(b. 1900 in Ludlow, Shropshire).
The
second child was Frank Hawkins (b. 1901 in Worsbrough,
Yorkshire)
Sometime
before 1911, their Mother, Clara Hawkins, formerly Clara
Jones, (nee Farber) died.
Thomas
lodged at the home of Owen Jones, 11, Tynewydd, Treherbert,
whilst his two young sons (Victor & Frank) were in a
foster home run by the Poor Law Service. They stayed with a
Widow at either 57 or 51, Kenilworth Road, Cadoxtton.
My
Grandfather (David Charles Hawkins) had gone to live with his
Father, Thomas. When this became inconvenient, my Grandfather
was kicked out. It took him two years to get back to his
siblings in Wigan. He worked on farms for some food and a bed
for the night. Sometimes he stayed longer in one place. After
two years on the road, he finally got back to Wigan.
As
I understand it, Victor emigrated. Perhaps Frank remained in
the area, and his descendants still live there. Please contact
me if you have any information about this family.

Hi
I'm looking
for relatives of William George and Sarah Morgan (nee Davies)
who lived in Treherbert (possibly 27 Dumfries Street) between
1910 and 1952 when Sarah died.
We believe that William died
around 1945) They had 7 children; William Octavius (b
1916) Minnie, Joyce, Doris, Phyllis, Florence (Floss) and
Betty.
William (my direct relative) married Clarice May Jones in
1940.
Any help would be
appreciated.
Regards
Marina Banks

Hello
I am
hoping you may be able to help me get hold of an old
school photograph.
It is a
school football team photo taken in 1974 at Penyrenglin
Junior school.
My name
is Paul Thomas. Other team members were Stephen and Wayne
Pool, Ralph Jones, Paul Culverhouse and Nigel Jones.
Another team member was Robert Candy, who was holding a
football with the year written on it.
I lost
this photo many years ago and have had no success in
finding a copy or locating other team members.
If you
could help in any way I'd be most grateful..
Thanks
P J Thomas
