JOHN SMITH, CWMTILLERY AND ABERTILLERYI have been asked to post the follwing message:
JOHN SMITH, CWMTILLERY AND ABERTILLERY
Hello. Does anyone still living in the Abertillery area have my
grandfather in their family 'tree'?
John Smith, born Old Row, Cwmtillery, 1871
He was the son of John and Maria Smith (formerly Partridge and Jones).
He spent his final years with his daughter, Maria Coles (my Auntie Cis), in
Alma Street, Abertillery and died there in 1942. He was a coal hewer.
He had a number of half-brothers and sisters called Partridge - one was
Joseph Partridge who kept a local shop. He also had a number of Smith
half-brothers and sisters - one, Arthur Emanuel Smith, kept a shop in
Blackwood. I would like to learn more about my grandfather's early
life after his mother died when he was about six. I believe he spent some years in America. If anyone has any information or would just like to get in touch then I will be very pleased to hear from them.
Many thanks for your time, Glenda Quinby
