Hi, I've just started tracing my family tree and I'd like to know if anyone knows of the Vaughan family that lived in Pencoedcae, Pontypridd in the 1950's. My father's name was Roy, my mum's Muriel.

Thankyou Reggie, I have some other information about my family, my grandmothers name was Rhianedd (nee Goronwy) and her brothers and sisters were called Eira, Irwyn, Teg, Gwilym and Gwen. They lived in the Pontypridd area, mostly Penycoedcae and Beddau. I have lost touch with most of my family but had cousins - Gareth who lived in Beddau and Lesley who lived in Bristol.

Thankyou very much Helen, the details you have provided would seem to be my grandmother, the names, dates and places fit and my grandfathers name was William Vaughan.

Many thanks
