Charles Edwin Tudgay was buried at St John's Cemetery,
Garndiffaith, 21 May 1939 .
Of his own children then alive were James of Aberbargoed, Fred, Frank,
Tom, Arthur (all of Abersychan), Harry (then of London, Harlesden, later
came back to Pontnewynnyd), Eliza Llewellyn (visiting from Akron, Ohio,
USA, where she went to live) and Polly (Harrison).
Also Joseph (Blaina); cousins Sid and Isaac (sons of James Tudgay -
link).
Flowers were sent from sister Edith and brother Ben. Laura and family.
Aunty Polly and children. Bess, Till, May and Cis (granddaughter). Cousin
Sid, Lizzie and family (link). Bert,
Flossie and David (Bert being the son of brother Herbert 1871-1929,
?living in Golders Green, London - link).
Sister Lizzie and family. Thomas and Lewis Hayward and family.
Edith Thomas (née Tudgay) remarried, Ben Saunders,
hence flowers from Edith and Ben. The 1891 Census had her as a widow with
two children, Mary, age 6, and Edith L, aged 5.
The "sister Lizzie" is a puzzle as, according to information
from Lawford Thomas, Elizabeth Walker (née Tudgay) died on
27.08.1938 and was buried at Christchurch, Aberbeeg, Mon., aged 84. Her
husband, David Walker, died 4/03/1921, aged 68. Perhaps it was his
daughter Lizzie, then living in Akron, Ohio.
Challenger family
Lawford Thomas also tells me that Peninah, who married James
Challenger, in 1866, had eleven children. The eldest, Elizabeth Ann,
was Lawford Thomas's grandmother. Sometime in the 1890's, James, Peninah
and their younger (unmarried) children moved to Llanhilleth. Elizabeth Ann
and her family also moved; the rest stayed in Talywain. The 1881 Census
[Mormon Records] has Edith Tudgay (younger sister of Peninah)
living at Railway Inn, Trevethin, as a servant. The Head of household was
given as James Challenger, born Somerset, 1843, coal miner.
