Just checked it was Monmouthshire, My Great Granddad was Noah Phillips and his wife was Sara Pugh, This would be late 1800`s My Grandad was one of eight children they had, The 1900 Census puts them in Warwickshire after walking up there to work at the newly opened Bermuda Colliery, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For pudding they all queued up at a freezer and a woman handed em all an ice-cream each Edited January 8, 2023 by DIDO.1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
