As you say sometimes you can get the right connection and that has happened to me. My biological father found me on this website ...... we are now in touch and plan to meet each other for the first time in 44 years later in the year.
Thanks for the pointers and I will continue to trawl the registers, hoping for a lead.

It's most unlikely that a living relative will see this and get in touch I'm afraid.
You will probably need to look through Freebmd/Ancestry as suggested to get the names of the children from these marriages, put these names into Search Trees, send messages if there are matches, try looking on 192.com to see if any of the names are on the electoral roll, send letters if there any likely matches.
Unfortunately, a connection probably won't happen unless you make it happen!!

Thank you all for your help.
Fingers crossed that a living decendant will get in touch.

Possible death for Abraham??
England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005 about Abraham Jeremiah Name: Abraham Jeremiah Death Registration Month/Year: 1948 Age at death (estimated): 50 Registration district: Pontypool Inferred County: Monmouthshire Volume: 8c Page: 301
He was registered under the name Watkins I think as he's listed as Watkins (Hatkins) on the 1911.
Births Dec 1897 (>99%) Watkins Abraham John Pontypool 11a 160
So you would be looking for a marriage for him under the name Watkins more than likely.

Two possible marriages for Thomas - the Pontypool is the most likely, I would have thought.
Marriages Dec 1922 (>99%) DIPPLE Emily L Jeremiah Merthyr Tydfil 11a 1418 JEREMIAH Thomas J Dipple Merthyr T. 11a 1418
Marriages Sep 1927 (>99%) Chivers Phyllis Jeremiah Pontypool 11a 317 Jeremiah Thomas Chivers Pontypool 11a 317
Looks like only one child from the Pontypool marriage.

Marriage for Isaac
England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1916-2005 about Isaac Jeremiah Name: Isaac Jeremiah Spouse Surname: Long Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1927 Registration district: Pontypool Registration county (inferred): Monmouthshire Volume Number: 11a Page Number: 339
Bride - Edith Long
As jax mentioned - you go could search on freebmd for children from this marriage. Put in Jeremiah as the first surname and Long as the mothers surname with a start date of 1927.
There are four births, which I don't want to post here as they may still be alive.

You could try searching for the marriages yourself for free
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl
Then you could also look for births of any children

Trying to find any decendants of Isaac JEREMIAH (b. 1876) and Sarah Ann (nee WATKINS - born 1877 in Llwynypia, Glams) who lived at Long Row, Upper Race, Panteg in the 1900's
There were many children who include: Abraham (b1898), Isaac (b 1899), Thomas (b. 1901), Ellen, Rosa May (b 1905), John, William Henry, Vera (b 1910), Freda (b. 1912), Stanley, Mowena, Benjamin, Ronald & Leonard (b 1921)
Of the above children, Vera was my grandmother. It appears that she left Panteg and met and married a Londoner (George Frederick Eley) in 1938. According to the marriage certificate her sister, Rosa was present.
In March 1944 my mum was born, but tragically 2 months later Vera died of leukemia. As this was during the Blitz, my mum was put in a home and evacuated out to the home counties, where she remained. Little is know of our ancestry, especially our welsh roots.
Can anybody help in me in finding any offspring of Vera's brothers & sisters?
