Hello,

My name is Mair Haynes (nee Thomas) and just happened to Google Pengarnddu and had a shock to find a 1940 school photo with me in it.  I'm in the middle row with a white ribbon in my hair, I was born in London but went to live with my Mamgu & Dadgu Edwards in 12, Castle Row.    I haven't got many photos of Pengarnddu,  only a 1914 school photo of my mother in standard one, also a 1919 photo of her at Pant mixed school.   I am 71 next week but still remember my happy childhood in Pengarnddu.

I currently live in Watford, Herts. I will keep looking on the site but don't expect anyone will remember me, One of the girls I was friends with in the photo was called Mair Parry, and a Mary used to live next door to my grandparents.

 

Email any replies to: alan@alangeorge.co.uk

and we'll pass them on to Mair.
