I am doing some family research and I am looking into a story that there was a man killed in a fist fight on Maerdy mountain in the 1800's involving a Moses Maggs. If anyone could help I would be very grateful.

Hi I am trying to trace my family history and would welcome any assistance. MY Grandparents lived in Oxford st on the Gadlys they were William Morgrugyn Phillips (known as Bill) and Margaret Mary Phillips nee Prosser. when I was younger my Great Grandmother Sarah Davies also lived with them as did my uncles Frank and Tom and his son John Prosser.

I believe that around 1914 My mothers great aunt was connected with the Mackworth Arms on Gladys rd any information on these and the extended family would be warmly welcomed Thank You

My mother was Josie Curran born 1923. She came from a large family. Sisters, Bridgetta, Aileen, Margaret, Agnes, Brothers, Tom, Andrew.

They lived at 39 Maes Cynon

Does anyone know anything about them? I think their father, Andrew worked in a "quarry"??

I'm digging away but if anyone knows/remembers them, let me know. Agnes lived at 80 Tramway for decades until she died in the late 1990s.

My own mother, Jo Curran got into Brecon County Grammar School for girls. Any news on that school would help me too

Thanks.

Katherine
