Hi Everyone, I am doing some research on my GG Grandparents Thomas & Harriet Gwynne who I believe lived in the Square in Parkend in the early 1900s. Some while ago, listed on a website somewhere (& I am sure it was this site) I recall seeing a listing of the residents of the Square around the early 1900s. I don't believe the list was complete, but for me it would be a start. If anyone has any info relating to "who lived where" in the Square, it would be a great help to me.

Thanks in anticipation
