Hi Chris,
Nice to hear from you. How are you?
What sort of info does Theresa want.? I only know that the Kenefics lived in No 22 Pendoylan Street - next door to you and next door but one to us.(I'm going back to the Fifties now). I remember Mr Kenefic (Jack) very well. He was a larger than life character with white hair and a rosy complexion. He sat on a small stool out by the front door most days and was always cracking jokes. I recall Mrs Kenefic as being of very slight stature with grey hair which was severely tied back in a bun. She wore a floral wrap- around pinny most of the time and she was always baking. She made the most amazing pastry and you would just die for her Welsh cakes. She once told me told that her secret ingredient was snow (I didn't think to ask her at the time what she used when it wasn't snowing!) I remember she had a very strong Welsh accent and although I'm not 100% certain, I think she originally came from Pembrokeshire and that Welsh was her first language. Hey Chris, I've just remembered. Wasn't your Nina (Nora Welsh,who lived in number 21) Jack's sister?

To Sylvia Cooksley:The info I Have is that Edward's brother James was born 1860,Newport and married Margaret Walsh in 1881 and they went on to have 9 children...at least!

Edward and James had sibling's Honora,Mary and Catherine and there were probably more.The family seem to have moved around Swansea,Newport and Cardiff .
