Ok so where do I start
My name is Robert Courtney born 1949 lived at 39 Griffing Street Six Bells
My Father’s name Harold Mother Ruby madden name Francis
Two Sisters Mary (Richardson) who now lives in Abercarn
Judy (Morris) who lives in Aberbeeg Husband Robert
Brother John Lived in Aberbeeg sadly passed away two years ago
Wife Anne
I also had a twin brother Phillip who drowned at the aprox age of 4
In a manmade reservoir up passed Lancaster Street near the infant school
Having read many of the threads there are a lot of memories surrounding my life as a young boy even some so close to me I felt whoever was righting them must have known me
I remember John Bryant (Lanky) from school does what it said on the tin tall boy but extremely good artist
When I read this I remembered this was the boy in the same class in the same school it must be there can’t be two
Memories are like little sparks of light when one light up it generates another one
I remember Chris and Clive Davies who lived upper Griffing Street
George Bancroft Griffing Street Idris Flook Aeriel Street Murray Walker Ian and Lin Edwards
Mary and Jean Howles
I think that’s enough to spark some memories somewhere out there
