Dear Suzanne, My great grandfather was Thomas Deere born in 1852 in St. Bride's Major, Wales. He did have a brother Edward who was born in 1844. Thomas and his wife had 13 children, my grandfather was Bertram Albert Deere and he was born in 1889 in Bridgend. My father was Cyril Thomas Deere born in Connecticut in 1924 and died in 2002. I know there are many of the Deere family in the area but I don't show your family on my immediate family tree. We probably are connected in some way. Let me know if I can be of further help.
Sincerely, Sandy Deere Leinz
