My name is Kim Jackson and I am currently researching my family tree. I am led to believe that my Great Great Grandmother was once the head mistress at Upper Cwmbran school. However I have no name for her and not even a year in which she was born. Once married her surname was Stokes but unfortunately I do not know if she was married at the time of her post or not. I was hoping that perhaps someone would be able to point me in the right direction of where the information regarding previous teachers may be contained.

A while back I sent in a question concerning the name of Belle Vue Road, my Grand Parents used to live at number 21 and I have a census form of theirs and it gives the name of Belle Vue Road as Bettws Street, the census is of England and Wales 1911. I wonder if anyone can confirm that this was the original name of Belle Vue Road? If you need any more information and I can help please feel free to ask.

I found your website and it has given me a great deal of information about my Great Great Grandfather Henry Parfitt, which I would otherwise not have known. Thank you.
I would like to ask if there are any related Parfitts still living in the area, would like to get in touch with me? I would love to glean any more information that I can about the family. Many Thanks in anticipation.

I hope you can help me to fill in a few details about my Grandfather who spent some time in Cwmbran in the late nineteen-thirties, early Nineteen Forties. I think he worked building the biscuit factory but can find no details of when the factory was built to check if this is reasonable. If it is I would love to have a photo of the building to put in myfile. As he got married at the Registry office at Caerleon in 1938 I need a photo of that too. I would be very grateful if anyone could help.
