long shot, pls help if you can	by MaMaMammy (Member 10224170) on 3-Apr-2008
Hi there, I am looking for a man named David Evans (maybe using smith instead) born 3rd feb 1955. Or anyone who is related/knows the syms family - Hilda, Beryl and there families. I am pretty sure Hilda and Beryl lived in regents street in Ferndale, but have not been there since I was a child so the memory is hazy. If anyone does know the whereabouts or what became of David please contact me . If you really don't want to please let him know that Jennifer Jane still thinks of him and would love to hear from him again. Between my sister Nerys and I he now has four beautiful grand-children and is gaining two sons in law. Any problems in the past are water under the bridge, I have no interest in stirring up the past, would just like another chance to know where I came from. Thank you so much for any help at all - even if it is bad news I would rather know Jennifer x ... more >> Re: long shot, pls help if you can by Huw Wilson (Member 10228027) on 26-Jun-2008 Hey Jennifer :) I'm probably your cousin as my aunty was Hilda and Beryl. I know that both of them are sadly now dead but and i tried to ask my grandfather selwyn baber about the whereabouts of your father David Evans (Smith) but he only knows that he went to live in Hayes or High Wycombe in London. I have numbers and contact lists for you to try but obviously i can't give them out over the we b. If you call my mother Jocelyn Wilson (pronounced Joslin) on 02920913501 or perhaps my Grandfather Selwyn Baber on 01443 731316 they may be able to help you. I hope that helps. They knew your father. If you have no luck with that, you can call my mother and ask for Hilda Protheroe's number. She is usually good with family history and contact information but please be gentle as Hilda Protheroe has recently lost her brother Selwyn Protheroe and may not be in a fit frame of mind to speak about things she might otherwise be able to speak about. Alternatively, you can contact me on 07971745615 and I'll try and do everything I can to help! all the best in your search, huw wilson x ... more >> Reply

'Cliff' Jones	by Michael Hunter (Member 10092603) on 9-Nov-2004
This guy (Real name Clifford Lee Jones)'works' at the Bell centre in Blaenllechau & had recently had his picture in the Rhondda Leader. Be very wary of this character. He has been under suspicion of kiddie-fiddling for a number of years. There's not enough evidence to convict him, but he will slip up one day hopefully. DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS ANYWHERE NEAR HIM.... Re: 'Cliff' Jones by Michael Hunter (Member 10092603) on 9-Nov-2004 He's also a Member of the BUFFS, who as you know are like all secret societies do a good job of protecting & hiding these Characters. So Bro. Cliff Jones. Your card has been marked. Reply
