Surnames: PEMBRO, PEMTON
Looking to make contact with any Pembro/ Pemton family members from the St Woolas / Monmouth area of Wales. I am told that some of them appear on the 1881 & 1891 Census. Father was Thomas & Mother was Ann. Children were William, Hannah, Tom, Mary, Elizabeth and Mark John. Mark John was my G/Grandfather and had two sons both born in Lydney Gloucester called Bertram Thomas Edward Pembro and Theodore Charles Pembro when were they born? Who was Mark John's wife does anyone know? and what happened to them where did they die or be buried? Tom one of Mark's siblings is believed to have married an Ann and had two daughters and one son. Elizabeth was the name of one of Tom's daughters can anyone confirm if it is the same one who married Harry Brean in Wales and had two daughter's who died early in life? Who did the other Pembro children marry and can anyone tell me which one died young? Where are they buried? If you have any information no matter how small please get in touch. Looking for present day Pembro family member's as well.

Hi Elaine

I've just linked up with this message board in June 2004, so I hope you'll read this! I tried to contact your e-mail address directly, but it was returned.

I've recently been told by my elderly aunt that my great grandmother Elizabeth, her grandmother, was probably a Pembro, which I am now researching. If this is so, we may have a link. She mentioned in her letter that "the Pembro family owned all the quarries in the area, and did until the 1980s. Aunt Libet (her aunt, probably the Elizabeth you refer to), she was a Pembro lived in Ynysddu in Commercial Road. She was a widow with one daughter, Gwendolyn, who died of a brain tumour (In the 1940s?). We were first cousins. Aunt Libet was married to Mr Bream (could be your Harry Brean?). They were all buried in Twyn Gwyn Chapel. The Pembros were a well known family, quite well-to-do. They still live in the area round Cross Keys, I think."

My 95 year old aunt is my last link with my family from South Wales and she lives in Australia. She has been helping fill in cracks in my knowledge, but I think there is a definite link with the Pembros on the 1901 census and the 1881 census, if only I could find it.

My Great grandmother Elizabeth (Pembro?) married Lewis Lewis and lived at Pantyffynnon farm till she died in 1889, aged 47. If anyone else can fill in details for me, I'd be very grateful.
