My husband and I enjoy this site very much, and have listed it as a fav, so we can visit it any time. In the past it has helped us find a few friends from school, and I was hoping that I may be lucky again in trying to locate on of my oldest school friends.

We both went to Croesyceiliog Secondary School and were good friends right up until we left in 1971/72. I lived in Llanyrafon and my friend lived on North Road in Croesey. Her name (maiden) is Jackie Dilloway, and she had an older Brother and younger Sister.

Those who remember us will know that we were so different in appearance. Jackie was a very tall and slim girl with long blonde hair, and I was much shorter than her, not quite so slim and I also had long blonde hair. We would go to the dance on a Friday night at the school every week, and also spent many Saturday nights out together. We lost touch when Jackie went to College in Pontypool, and I went to Nash Tech College in Newport. After that we never got back together again.

Please if anyone remembers us or has any information about where Jackie may be I would love to get back in touch with her.

Thanks very much, I hope someone out there has some information.

I am looking for any friends of my mother Jean James, now Harrison, who went to Croesyceiliog Comprehensive School and was born in 1961. If any one knows my mum  please get in touch x

I’ve been looking at your Cwmbran.info  website in an attempt to work out where a relative of mine was living in the 1911 census.  The census form says that his address was “Myrtle Grove, Clevedon Place, Cwmbran”, but I cannot find this on any map.  I’m wondering whether Clevedon Place might have been close to (or perhaps the same as) the Clevedon Terrace mentioned in the 1901 Kelly’s Directory.

The strange thing is that the census enumerator’s book appears to show that he was living in Clomendy Road.  Is anyone aware of a Myrtle Grove or Clevedon Place having once existed in or near Clomendy Road. Any assistance would be much appreciated.
