Hi, Could someone please do a look up for me on the 1891 census, if anyone has it. The address in 1881 was: 9 BENNETT ST, CLASE, GLAMORGAN (which is part of Swansea, so may not have 'Clase' in the address) The family then were GREGORY and I'm looking for my g.grandmother BLODWEN, born 1882 so missed the last census. Thanks in advance, Diana

This came across my desk today and I thought I would pass it along to all my lists. I have been getting a terrific amount of junk mail lately, and hopefully this list will help me with ideas on how to stop them other than changing my email address.

Hi, Does anyone know about the Matthews that lived on Thornhill area during the 1800s? My grandmother was Jane Matthews and was born 1850 then my mother was born there in 1877. I would love to make contact with someone in that area. Thank you. Bette in Indiana USA

Hi my feeling is that it is the name of a house or smallholding/farm and that it should read " Borthdir bach", bach - being Welsh for small, borth - being a gate or gateway, and dir - being land ground or territory. So it is somthing like " small gateway to the land" hope this is of help. Regards John Best

Hello List Does anyone have the records for Holy Cross Chapel Tanygroes Taibach, please? I am trying to find the unmarked grave of my Ann and James Thomas. They died October 1895 and April 1899 respectively. Thanks Heather

Would SKS please look up a William Saunders b 1844 at Cadoxton as near to the birth date as possible, I'm not to sure as to when the census were taken. I do not have anymore information to go on at the moment and know that it maybe a long shot but fingers crossed. Many thanks for your kind help, Steve Searching for: Saunders Swansea and Somerset Area's Matthews from the Barry Area

Dear Listers, I have today found out that my ancestors lived at Borthdir Back, South Wales, which I am told is in the Swansea Area. He was born at Cadoxton in 1844. Can SKS please let me know as to the exact location of the above place? Many thanks for your kind help, Steve

Isn't this great news! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PRO Announces Plan to Put 1901 British Census Online ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Public Record Office has announced that after months of painstaking work, the 1901 Census returns for England and Wales will be available online over the Internet. This huge task of digitizing the original census images and creating an index to 32 million names is the result of a partnership between the Public Record Office and QinetiQ (formerly the larger part of the Defense Evaluation and Research Agency) and is a major step towards the Public Record Office’s vision of putting records online to reach a wider audience worldwide. From 2 January 2002, visitors to the 1901 Census Web site will be able to search the index by name, place, address, institution or vessel, free of charge. Once the desired subject is found, for a small charge visitors can view a digital image of the original census return and the transcribed details for an individual or order a copy of either. The feedback from the successful operation of a pilot project using the 1891 Census returns has allowed us to develop this technology to make it more user-friendly. Full details of how the census will work, including the cost, can be found at http://www.census.pro.gov.uk Some of the statistics from the census, taken on 31 March 1901: the population was 32,527,843. The population breakdown was 52% women to 48% men, and the density of population was 558 per square mile –- compared to 152 per square mile in 1801. Of the total population 1.04% were born in foreign countries, compared to 0.67% in 1881 and 0.8% in 1891. Comparable statistics for England and Wales in 1999 show a population of 52.7 million, and a split of 49% male to 51% female. The population density was 349 per square kilometer –- around 900 per square mile. Ethnic minority groups made up 6.4% of the overall UK population (although changes in definition since 1901 make this measurement a less accurate comparison). Censuses containing personal information on individuals have been taken every 10 years since 1841, and, because they contain personal information, are subject to closure for 100 years. The Public Record Office holds census returns for England, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, listowner http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Jeff, Thank you so much for the information on Sketty Methodist Church. The John Blewitt Jenkins who wrote the piece about "Some Reminiscences of Sketty Old Chapel" was my Dad's first cousin, son of Charles Blewitt Jenkins. Also, the information the Charles was a tailor and originally from Pembrokeshire is correct. I have a transcript of a letter that Charles wrote in 1901 in which he mentions that he had come from Newport to Sketty. My Dad attended school in Swansea. (I wonder how many schools there were back then around 1890 and if any records are still available.) It was after that that the family moved to London. Thank you for your offer to look up the 1881 census information for me but I received that information from a "lister" on the Glamorgan mail list. I cannot tell you how much information I have received in just the few weeks I have been on these Welsh lists. It has been exciting as Charles has been one of my block walls. Last night I found the downloaded pages, but they came through in code so I really appreciate your sending the information another way. Bonnie

Hi, I spotted the name Blewitt connected with Sketty, I may be mistaken but I think there are still people of that name in the sketty area. I think there was a greengrocer on Eversley Road, Sketty some years ago.
