I am searching for any information that people may have on Henry HOWELL and his wife Margaret HOWELL (nee MORRIS). They were the licensees of the Cross Keys Inn Glebe Road, Loughor from about 1881 until about 1911+. The Inn was previously run by Margaret’s father Daniel MORRIS from about 1860 until taken over by Henry in about 1881. I would also appreciate any information that anyone may have on the Cross Keys Inn. Henry’s name is sometimes recorded as HOWELLS in various censuses. Henry is my Great Uncle.

Don There was a Henry Howell elected to the Parish Council in Loughor in 1894, according to the Evening Express of 7 December 1894. Could he be your great uncle?

Don There's also a story about the Morrises and the Cross keys in the Cambrian of 10 Nov 1871; see below (there will be OCR errors in the text). David Canberra STEALING BACON.—David Evans, a labourer, was charged with having stolen a piece of bacon, the property of Daniel Morris, of Loughor. Mr. H. Morris appeared for the prisoner. Margaret Morris said that she lived with her father, the prosecutor, who kept the Cross Keys Inn at Loughor. About half-past 10 on the previous Saturday evening the prisoner came into the house and asked for a glass of beer. As he was rather the worse for liquor already she refused to give him any. He continued to stand in the kitchen and witness had occasion to leave it for about 10 minutes. As she was returning she noticed the prisoner going out at the door, and immediately after- wards a man named Llias John, who had been in the kitchen, told her that he (prisoner) had carried off a piece of bacon, which she had seen a. few minutes previously hanging from the ceiling. She went after him and over- took him about 200 yards from the house and asked him to give the bacon back. He ran from her and told her! to follow and catch him if she could. With the assut- ance of -a man named William John she at last caught him and compelled him to go bnck to the house with her. Soon after they had reached the house William John came in, bringing the bacon [now produced] which he had found near the place where the pri80ner was over. taken, and which witness recognized as being her father's property; The prisoner denied having taken it, but was given in charge to P.C. Poyntz. Elias John said that he was at the Cross Keys, Loughor, on the evening in question, and saw the prisoner take the piece of bacon, now produced, hide it under his coat, and walk away with it. He told Margaret Morris, who went after the prisoner. Some further evidence was taken and the prisoner was committed for trial at the adjourned.
