FANTASTIC!!! Moira, many thanks!!! would I be rude to ask if you have any information on Richards parents?? My sister is married to Chris Davies, who's the great grandson of Richard Spencer and Gwyneth Thomas. I have Gwyneths Thomas parents as George and Margaret Ann Williams. His parents are celebrating their 80th years this year and she wants to get them something different. ie a Family Tree.. Well done for finding this! I used to have access to Ancestry but my relation has stopped it for the moment..

Hi Guys, me again. I am still following the family tree, but have gone over to Reginald J Davies who married Richard Spencer and Gwyneth Thomas daughter Eunice Spencer.. My sister has just informed me that on the Davies side at some point they were travellers... Apparently when they couldn't afford to keep a child they left it by the road so that someone would come along and find them (shock horror) No one know where along the line this may have happened, but I have noticed that my brother has his father Reginald J Davies born 1933 and a sister Jill born 1945.. Quiet a huge gap, could this be where the missing link fits in? I see a Reginald C Davies born Pontypool in 1932 with a mother Stone.. The mother was Polly Stone. Then Reginald J Davies born 1933.. Could just be a red herring!! :-0

Please check these as they are not what I have researched only taken someone elses word that they are correct
