Thread: Looking for welsh connections

Hello,



Can anyone help?



I am looking for connections Clarke / Kennedy's in the Neath, Newport and Ponty Pool area. Grandfather Joesph Kennedy married Eliza Jane Clarke in Ponty Pool in 1907.



She was born around 1883 her fathers name was John Clarke believed to come from the Newport area. Joesph and Eliza lived in a village Pwllygwlaw and had children Melvyn, Eugene, Tom, Joe, and Pat.



Thanks, Chris.
