I have recently been researching my family history and find that my paternal grandfather, Noel Edwards, born 1879 in Brecon, was shown in the 1881 census as living at “The Cock and Horse Inn, 48 The Watton, Brecon”. Noel and his twin sister, Mabel, lived there with their widowed mother, Elizabeth (born 1848) and their brothers, Sidney, born 1874, David, born 1875, and sister, Margaret Elizabeth, born 1877. Their mother, Elizabeth, (my great-grandmother) was the widow of David James Edwards, an engine driver. She was the Innkeeper of the establishment.

Noel moved to Merthyr Tydfil in about 1905 and married my grandmother, Lilian Maud Porter. They had 3 children; my father, Frederick Raymond, born 1918 and his sisters, Phyllis born 1909 and Muriel born 1911. Noel died in 1918 (3 months before the birth of my father) and Lilian later moved to Newport.

The “Cock and Horse Inn” is now known as “The Gremlin”.

Any up-to-date info would be most welcome.
