Escotts of Pontycumnor, Mid Glamorgan

Can anyone provide me with any information on my grandmother's family. Her name was Iris Winifred Jane Escott. I am not sure what year she born in, and she died in April 1990. She lived in Devon, but was born in Pontycumnor, Mid Glamorgan and she was one of seven girls.

Please can anyone provide me any information on her siblings / mother's / father's families?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Not completely sure, but c 1917 she was born. Her birthday was 15.03., and I had spelt the place name wrong; I think it was Pontycymer where she was born.

Many thanks

Hi Lynsey

I found your grandmother's death she was 74 when she died Torbay Devon. So this makes her birth 1916. She was born in Brigend with mothers maiden name Morgan.

I have found a marriage between a Francis James Escott and a WInifred Jane Morgan

LEWIS Gertrude Elizabeth Bridgend 11a 1318
LEWIS Jenkin Bridgend 11a 1318
MORGAN Winifred Jane Bridgend 11a 1318

Which sounds like it is very possibly the parents of Iris. Will go and search now to see if I can find any siblings. etc
