Wrexham Supporters’ Association is trying to put a Wrexham fan based in Cape Town in South Africa back in touch with his cousins who are believed to live in the Wrexham area.
Ronnie Edwards, a referee assessor and member of the Cape Town Tygerberg Referee’s Association, is trying to locate his father’s family whom he believes still live in the Wrexham area. Ronnie’s father, the late John Edward Edwards, was born and raised in Wrexham before he emigrated to South Africa to get married just after the Second World War.
John Edwards was the son of the late Emma Sarah Edwards and Samuel Edward Edwards of Wrexham. He had three brothers, Albert George, Cyril Raymond and Leonard Robert Edwards and three sisters, Brenda, Irene and Stella. Ronnie understands that his aunt, Irene, still lives in the Wrexham area and has a daughter called Wendy who is married to Christopher.
Unfortunately Ronnie does not know Wendy and Christopher’s surname, but understands that they have two sons called Steven and Mark. Ronnie would very much like to get back in touch with Irene and his cousins, Steven and Mark. Ronnie still follows Wrexham’s results from South Africa and has just become a member of Wrexham Supporters’ Association.

- Weekly Review - After two heavy defeats, the Dragons salvaged their pride and gave Birmingham City a run for their money in the Carling Cup this week. The cup performance underlined the players’ determination to get things back on track and should give the team a good boost when they return to league action. With a number of key players out injured, Denis Smith did well to assemble a team that took this former Premiership club to extra time. Well done lads! Denis worked wonders while Wrexham were in administration. Wrexham were limited to a squad of just 20 players and had to...
