Hi Christine. Im sorry I really have no idea about my grandparents. I would imagine my grandfather wold have been born around the 1870s. No idea where. I know my Dad Lionel was born in Pontypridd May 1903 and his sister Freida was born in 1896 ( dont know where) She would have been one of the older siblings , I think Mona wasthe eldest. Would be great if you can help.
