Carolyn William and Clara Wiggle were my Great Grand parents they got married and moved to Glantorvan Terrace Cwmtillery in 1888 they had five children Maurice,elizabeth,Edgar Agnes(my Grandma)and Violet.Some of them moved back to the Forest of Dean in 1915.My great great Grandma was Emma Wilce she also moved to Abertillery in 1888 with her new husband George Wilce and I probably think she stayed id Wales

The household record for 1891 states that were living somewhere in or close to chapel Street but several family members do not appear on the actual census return image.
We also found this little snippet in the South Wales Gazette Archives

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.
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
