I have just started my fathers family tree, and am looking for any for infomation on Ivor Thomas b 29/4/1905 family.
His parents were David John Thomas and Dorothia (Mary) Thomas
nee ?
His father worked for the Liverpool & Victoria Insurance, they lived @ 4 Garth Villas, Merthyr Tydfil.
He was one of 13 children.
Brothers: Harold; Dick ( Richard?), David; Leonard; William;
Sisters: Gwen; Winnie; Agnus; Peggy (Margaret?); Jean; Dolly; Phyllis.
Although I met a few of them, I was quite young.
David & Leonard moved to Canada.
Peggy (nurse) lived in Kenilworth, had one son.
Agnus (nurse) lived in Leominster. ?? ran a private hospital. she had 2 children David and Pat.
Gwen & Winnie no children.
I do not know if where Ivor was born, as I can find no record other than his death cert.
Any information on any of the above, especially Dorothea will be very welcome.
