My father William James Hyde was born in the Rhondda valley, Glamorgan South Wales in 1915.Had he not been the first from his town of Maesteg to go to University he like his father and grandfather would have been a coal-miner.The family came from Mallow, County Cork, Ireland by a a boat named "The Dodo" in the 1840s to Bristol and walked to the South Wales coalfields to find work.It is possible that the Irish family come from Castlehyde a large and old estate near Mallow.If of interest I will look further, my mother can give me more details
