Hi. Nigel.
I have just come across your Website and I was delighted to see photos of Sylvester together with his family.
I think some where along the line we are related. My Mother was Avis Grace Stephens born in Tonyrefail in 1913. Her mother was Kitura Henshaw married to Joseph Stephens. Granpa Henshaw was on the railway and they lived in Railway cottage. I know Sylvester died in Sydney as my late brother visited him a couple of times.
My husband and I lived in Australia between 2005/2012 when we visited Perth on several occasions sadly now back in the UK.
I have done a little research on the family but not having My mother around any more it has been hard. Her siblings were Ken Arthur Robert Charles Elsie and Eddy and my mother Avis. It is so good to see there is someone out there keeping the family memories.
Kind regards
Yvonne warden
