7. Thomas Reginald Shattock 6/5/1912 Merthyr Tydfil - 13/6/1990 Merthyr Tydfil Jun. He apparently lived in Navigation Street in Trethomas prior to his death,  He was a carpenter by trade and probably worked in local colliery.  He married Margaret M Hughes, known asVano ( likely short for Myfannwy ) Caerleon Dec 1936 and they had two children Eira N. 1939 -Nina (not sure if this is a nickname) and Richard Paul 1946.  Karen remembers going to his 60th birthday celebration in 2006, I think his birthday was 16th January.  Paul married Julie Edwards in 1967 and they had two children Leigh (male) 1970 and Nicola.   Leigh married a girl called Helen (who was brought up in Canada but mother in 2003ish was living in Cardiff in UK) and they had two children, Ben and later a daughter Annabelle but daughter born after 2003. Helen trained as a herbalist whilst living in Caerphilly and opened a herb shop sometime around 2000. Nicola married Howell Williams and they have two children, no further details on that.   Mum says Nina married a Mr. Lewis maybe John (which is probably guess work) and they had three daughters Jane Melanie  and  Phillippa. Cannot find a marriage for Eira- Nina. Thomas R Shattock is buried in Saint Barrwg Cemetery Bedwas .
