Hi everyone, in my quest to find ggramps, I found a William John DAVIES who was 12 in 1901, can anyone tell me when the census was taken, month wise. This WJ was born in Cockett, which rumour has it me ggramps was from, why though on the census does it say Cockett Sketty, when I looked on that map website, Cockett and Sketty have Cwmgwyn between them, so I don't believe theyre the same place. Also when a man remarries, does it say anywhere, eg census or marriage certificate, that this is a second wife? . I hate this time difference thingy between Wales and Canada, cause I have just finished work and I'm gung ho to start researching and you guys are heading for the sack, anyway Na Night. Dianne in Canada, Yorkshire born and bred.

Hi Dianne, Marriage certificate would show him as widower. Census doesn't differentiate. Cockett is part of Fforestfach, but the part that, in 1901, was in Cockett Parish as opposed to Llangyfelach Parish. In 1881 (& possibly 1891) Census it would probably have been "Swansea Higher". Do you have an address from the 1901? The census was in April. Let me know if I can be of anymore help.

Hi Alwyn, the census for 1901 just says, Cockett Sketty, Civil Parish; Cockett Sketty, Town; Cockett Sketty. I don't know if that helps any.
