My mother's family lived in Full Moon. They were Reeds.
Reg Reed is mentioned in the book on the history of Crosskeys Rugby Club. His in-laws were Deneens and they also lived in Full Moon. See the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses.

I have subsequently seen census entries for Full Moon as far back as 1841, the first census

It is assumed the name of Full Moon originated from the Public House that was situated in the cenre of the village. The Villages' Welsh Name long forgotten. Now long since demolished, it lay in Gwents Sirhowy Valley. It was a tiny village. The owners of the local colliery 'persuaded' the tenants to leave as they wanted to extend their waste tip. The owners allowed large boulders to crash down onto the houses 'persuading' the tenants to vacate their porperties!. There was nothing pretty about the houses in Full Moon, it was built on the slope of Machen mountain. The railway ran above it very close to some of the houses. the Sirhowy River, black with coal dust ran below it and the waste tip was only yards away too!. Saying that though you could walk into the beautiful mountains and there were alwayd Wimberries to pick in the Summer. By about 1946 the houses in Full Moon were demolished under the Slum Clearence act.
