1. Family of James Tudgay 1873-after 1948

James Tudgay, age 24, collier of Garndiffaith, father Charles, collier, married Ellen Dando, age 22, on 12 March 1896 at St Michael's, Llanvihangel, Pontymoile. Witnesses Sidney Geo. Powell, Ada Dando; father William Dando, also a collier. Seem to have moved to Aberbargoed before 1939 (father's funeral notice).

On reading the info about the Tudgay family I thought you might be interested to know that a Mrs Tudgay and her daughter Lena were neighbours and lived on Bedwellty Road, Aberbargoed, Gwent for some years around the 1950 - 1990s. The mother died somewhere around 1970 I believe, as I had left home - Message posted on Genealogy.com forum, by Margaret Haworth, in answer to a Keith Berry query, 17 June 2002.
