My Fathers name is Shotton and he grew up in Ferndale. Mr father was born there and I believe his father came there from Cheltenham or Winchcombe. Mr Grandfathers name was John Charles Shotton.

Hi Kay,

Good to hear from you, there is a family connection between yours and mine. You must be the daughter of either John Evan William, Gordon or Ron Shotton.

Hi Bob

I am the youngest daughter of Gordon Shotton. It would be interesting to know what the connection is between our families and do you have any contact with anyone. Dad is living in Caldicot now and myself my brother and sister and families are all living in Newport.

Kay

Hi Kay,

It is a bit lomg winded but your GGfather, William Thomas married Florence Beatrice HUMPHRIES in Winchcombe Sept qtr 1894, she was the sister of my Gmother.

Also my cousin Albert EVANS married the daughter of Mary Jane SHOTTON who was your gfathers's sister...does that sound right ?

Let me have your email address and we can exchange date offline !
