Hi Maureen,

You didn't want a simple answer to this, did you?

Since Cyril passed away I don't have any close relatives there, that I know of. However, from research by Keith Lomas (mostly) and myself, it seems that there are/were two family groups of Bebbs in Ton Pentre. Keith is from one, me the other.

Apparently they don't think that they are related, but the two groups diverged around 1830-ish (from memory). We could probably account for them in 1881 and 1891, and have a fair stab around 1940s from the stuff you and Dave sent me, but after that I don't know where they went.

So I think there are still some Bebbs living in Ton-Pentre, and if there are I am probably related to them, but I don't know the relationships.

Cheers,

Malcolm
