I am trying to find this man to find out more information about my Grandfather's family from Pontypridd. Any information would be much appreciated. My grandfather was Arthur Leonard Rowland born 1907. His sister, Lily Rowland, married a Stanley Svombo in 1921.

I am a bit confused about Ronald Svombo, born 1983, MMn Rowlands.
