Hi All, Been a while since I've posted, but I would like some help please. Feeling down now, because I think I may have got a part wrong in my family history. sob sob Anyway, can someone tell me is, according to files at that time, 1801-1807, Aberavon and Michaelstone super Avon two separate places? or were they included as one under 'Aberavon'? I am trying to find my family now as since I realise I might have made a mistake, I've lost them after 1851 Census. The father is put down on the census as from 'Michaelston' . I'm assuming this is Michaelston Super Avon, as this is what is listed for a marriage and banns I've found for them (Rees Hopkins to Gwenllian Thomas). On there, is he listed as from Michaelston super avon, and she from Llantwit Neath Parish. I thought this then became known as Aberavon? Last entry was for 1851 Census of Melincryddan, Llantwit Lower showing them living there (Rees Hopkins head, from Michaelston abt. 1801 and wife Gwenny c,1806 from Neath Abbey plus their children. After 1851, I can find the children living in different places around the area, but I've lost the parents. It could just been that they both died. What is so frustrating is the use and none use of the end 's' in his name, sometimes it's Hopkins sometimes Hopkin which doesn't help. If I were to try and find a baptism for him (which on paid sites I have and cannot trace) for Rees Hopkin(s) born abt. 1801 Michaelston, should I go to Aberavon or Michaelstone Super Avon family centre??? I'm confused now. Many thanks Helen (fed up)
