Just seen your reply, Roy. It's definitely in the right area, but do you mean that Ynispenllwch is another name for Pontardawe? |

Great tip Judith. I've googled and I've found it, seems to be a family estate of some sort. That's really exciting because if Zephaniah was born here and his dad, John, was a gardener it's likely that he was working on the estate!! Thanks to everyone for the help, I'm off to bed now. |
