Yes, my paternal grandfather Llewelyn Evans was one of five brothers from
Pennnant Melangell MGY and he and his brother David both moved to South
Wales looking for work. Llewelyn ended up in coal mining in Glynneath, West
lamorgan, where I was brought up.
I would love to read more about this migration south if anyone has a
reference.
