I am trying to find any information on my father, Myrddin Davies, who was born in Gelli in 1910.  He was known for his prowess on the harp; winning the National Eisteddfod Harp prize for under 18's in 1925 and 1926.

II understand that he played in most of the chapels in the Rhondda and I would imagine that there must be some published records. 

Thank you.

DYLAN'S DEN

 Dylan's Den is now open to provide high quality after school childcare in Treorchy Primary School.

The club is run by enthusiastic well trained staff and is open every school day.  You can send your child every day or just for one day if you like.  This facility could prove very helpful in the lead up to Christmas.

  If you need to go shopping and don't want the pressure of having to pick up the kids at 3.15pm, just book them in for a session whenever you want.

Telephone 0845 658 6568

Hi Folks,
    I'm trying to trace the Welsh side of my family from here in Australia with little success.  Is there anyone in Treorchy who can help with information?  My father, William Crewe, was born at 5 River Terrace, Treorchy on 22 December, 1906.  His father, Richard Crewe, [my grandfather], lived in Senghenydd Street, Treorchy, at the time of his marriage.  The last time I saw my Welsh grandparents was when I was 5 years old and at that time they lived in Beddau.  I have no idea where my Welsh cousins are at this time.
    Any news will be gratefully received!
        Don.
