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. |

my brother Desmond and became a Davies , my brother died 3 year ago now
