Not that it is of any help at all Marilyn but I lived in Glantorvan Terrace for about 13 years. There are only 3 houses in the terrace so it's a bit of a coincidence. _________________ The compliments pass when the quality meet.

Hi Carolyn Thanks for all the info you have sent me.Ernest Wiggle was my Great Grandads brother he was born in the forest of dean in 1874 and from your info he was buried in Blaenau in 1956.Miles Wiggle was my Great great grandmas brother also born in FoD and was lodging with the Sines family in the 1901 census now I know where he was buried.Can you find any info of where Emma Wilce(Wiggle) was buried? Also are their any Wiggles in the phone directory in Abertillery?Ihave recently obtained the marriage certificate of my great aunt her name was Elizabeth Wiggle
she married Abraham Parker in 1908 at St Michaels Church Abertillery just wondering if they stayed in Wales or moved away. Would like to visit the area one day to see the places they lived and were buried
