Find Living Relatives

Looking for these people, born 1920s-1930s in Merthyr, or relatives of.
They were born in Merthyr Tydfil - SONS of two brothers, Joseph Thomas Williams(b1903ish) and William John Williams (b. 1899) and mums both called Hannah (nee Jones and Rees). The brothers had 2 sisters who they last spoke to in 1950s. The brothers' father, Thomas, was killed in the steelworks in 1905 and their mum, Mary (nee Davies) died in 1918. David lived in Enfield at the time of his parent's death. One of the brothers was a filter assistant on the reservoir near Merthyr, the other was a fitter for ROF Bridgend in 1939. Would love to swap stories from the other side of the family.
If anyone could help as to where they might be, the family would be really pleased.

You already have all the info posted on here - as per your tree on Ancestry

Oh my goodness - thank you for all the responses! I am blown away. I didn't mean to mislead anyone - yes I do have a tree on Ancestry which I have worked on a bit recently.
But now I am stuck from 1939 onwards really. I have birth and death certificates from most of the family and found middle names from marriage certificates (the Thomas was a father's name so fitted).. I was looking for any children from David Anthony Williams marriage, as well as from Thomas G Williams'. - David was last seen on his dad's death certificate in 1980 as living in Enfield. Any ideas on how to progress from this point?
But really, thank you.

The informant's details on Thomas's death cert may prove helpful

Have you any reason to assume that either David or Thomas actually married?

No reason to assume that they married, but ever hopeful that they did and the trail wont go completely cold. I guess I will find out next week on the death certificate. Thank you for answering.

Thank you everyone. I found my relatives today - within 30mins of one emailing me (I Googled an unusual surname and emailed them first), the other was on the phone (I wrote to the neighbours of the last known address and he had moved next door, so he just rang me up!). Neither knew of each other's existence either. So happy. Thank you ErikaH for jolting my brain. It worked a treat.

:-D

Wonderful outcome. Delighted for you
