The boy did live at the bottom of Elm St, 19 sounds about right. His fathers name was I believe Jim Murray, cannot remember his Mother's name. They were fiends of my Grandparents who kept the Fish and Chip Shop at 4 Elm St, prior to the accident they were well known for the tricks they played . My Mother used to say that the boys Mother was in the garden and could see her son climbing the pylon and saw him fall in flames. The parents never really recovered I believe they moved to the Cardiff area but returned to live in Ffaldau in the 1960's ?. I think the family may be buried together in Llanwonno.
