Hi, I can give you, I think, a lot of the information you need.
Edith was the 5th child of Thomas Gimblett and Jane Jones, they were married on 15th October 1884 at Nazareth Chapel, Brecon, I have no German connection and I would be glad to hear of your reasons for saying this, as I have heard it to. Anyway, Edith had 3 brothers and 2 sisters, William Henry 4.1.86-1949, Josh 13.12.90, Beatrice 1.11.87-1987, Thomas John 1892-1894, and Elizabeth 1895.

At some point, Thomas and Jane emigrated to America to work with the Baptist church in Wilkes Barr, Pennsylvannia. Josh was born in America, and he was born in a caul.

Edith married Thomas Ernest Holley and had 7 children. Leslie, Melvin and Ken (twins), Tommy, Max (who married Betty), Glenys and Janes(known as Jean).

I come into this as Ediths brother William Henry was my grandfather.

I have lots sof the family tree already done, If you want any other info, just drop me a line

By the way, the relative Cled, was my father, so he would have been Ediths nephew. Your grandfather, was married twice, once befoire Jane, and the child from this marriage was Lily 1893-1901. Jane Jones was born in Hirwaun, and her parents were John Morgan Jones and Elizabeth.

Melvins twin brother, Ken, was my father. He passed away in December of 1998 in Dunnville, Ontario, Canada. He never made it back to Wales to see his brother, Melvin, but they did speak occasionally on the telephone over the years. Edith made it to Canada to visit a couple of times, and Jean is still living in the Ottawa area.

I am the son of Mel's twin brother who went to Canada to live. Ken came to Canada with his Aunt Kate and uncle Joshua Gimblett. They lived in Dunnviille, Ontario. Ken married Ella Nuxoll and they raised 4 children, Melvin, Leslie, Nancy and Michelle

His sister Jean also came to Canada and married Tal. They had 3 children I believe,

I met Edith once when she visited from Wales to Canada in the 70's.
