Find Ancestors

Oh Magic!

not far i live in cwmbran with my partner and 3 children

I'm gobsmacked too!!! I really only knew him from when I was five till I went to grammar school - I shall have to dig out the school photographs and see if I can remember which one he is - pretty sure I will know when I look at them

where are you living now? I am in Whitchurch, Cardiff

really oh my god i have never met him as my grandmother and him split up i would really love to get in touch with him as i dont even think he knows i exist and he also has three great grandchildren by me if u do know any other info could you send it to me please as i dont really know anything about his side all i knew was his name and where he was from it would be a great help

can't believe this - been on GR for years now and this is the first time this has happened!!

well how about that - I'm in Cardiff and Brian Langford was in my class in Rhiwbina school!!

The Collard's are a well known local family here in Whitchurch, Cardiff and were contemporaries of my Dad

I used to go to grammar school with Tony Collard

thanks so much for the help

I wonder. You will need the marriage certificate to confirm that these are the correct people.
