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
