I am sorry but I am searching for the Robinson Family in Swansea around the 1865 -1881. I do not know an Edward Vaughan. Sorry Ian

Hi: I'm new to the list so I hope the question I ask is germane and, hopefully, will bring back positive results. For some considerable time I have been trying to locate the birthplace and birthdates of my wife's grandfather, Edward OWEN, and his father, (also Edward OWEN). The grandfather lived and worked most of his life in Dudley but his place of birth has been shown in sequential census returns as: (1881 - Pontypridd); (1891 - Newton, Montgomery) and finally (1901 - Swansea, Glamorgan). From the same census returns I have estimated that he was born in or around 1856 (give or take a year or two). On his marriage certificate he gives his father's name as Edward OWEN, occupation - platelayer; and that is all the information I have concerning the elder Edward. I have checked all available records through the library in Pontypridd, through the District Registrar's office for Montgomery, and through the PRO for an Edward OWEN born about 1856 in both Pontypridd and Newton with no joy. Is there someone on the list with access to records in Swansea who would be willing to run a check for me in the hope of locating the missing grandfather and his father. I would be most grateful for any assistance. Cheers, Ed Witherden, South Surrey, B.C., Canada

Hi. I wonder if anyone has the time to do a lookup for a Benjamin W Jones on the 1871 census for Swansea? I have him in Guildford on the 1881 married to a girl from the midlands, So I am assuming at this time that he married her after going to England. He would be in his early to mid twenties and a Printers Apprentice by trade. He could be living with William Jones (father) Maria Jones (mother) and siblings. Thanks in advance. John Jones

Hi Shirley This week I discovered at West Glamorgan archives in Swansea an 1888-89 street directory of Swansea and Llanelli. Several addresses I found there were still accurate in 1891 census. I missed your original posting I think, but would be happy to search at some time when I am there. I have a Charles Allen connected to my tree who died between 1889 and 1891 in Pontypool, who married a Swansea girl (well - in her 40s) in Newport in early 1880s.

Apparantly his mom died either in childbirth or shortly after, and his Dad remarried. He went on to have further children, Bobby, Sarah, Tommy, Annie, Ben, Davie and Sue.

This is a huge road block for me as I cant find anything out about my GNanna either. Annie Boston Downes, born 10th March 1873, in Berwick on Tweed, raised by her Grandparents, wealthy fish merchants, nor do I know how she ended up in Llanelli.

Apparantly his mom died either in childbirth or shortly after, and his Dad remarried. He went on to have further children, Bobby, Sarah, Tommy, Annie, Ben, Davie and Sue. Not neccesarily in that order. Could anyone please check the 1881 census, or later for this family. It may not be cockett, as my ggramps and his wife later lived in Loughor, and Llanelli. This is a huge road block for me as I cant find anything out about my GNanna either. Annie Boston Downes, born 10th March 1873, in Berwick on Tweed, raised by her Grandparents, wealthy fish merchants, nor do I know how she ended up in Llanelli. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
