My mum's maiden name was Wright and she lived on Kenelworth hill Cadoxton. Her sister married a chap named Heavers and he worked on the docks at Newport where they lived at that time. They had two children Ruth and Idris. They moved to Bristol where Ruth worked for the Bristol Aeroplane Company (probably during the war) and latterly Idris worked at Rolls-Royce Aero engines Bristol division probably after RR took over the company. At some stage they all moved to Holyhead before returning to Bristol. Ruth married and I think Idris also was married.

My father-in-law, Idris David Heavers, died on April 29th this year at Medway Maritime Hospital, Chatham, Kent.
