Thanks alot, I don't know if it's him, I just called my mum in England and woke her up, oops. She said he was born March 28th 1890, so thats really close. Auntie Jean did think his Dad might have been Thomas tho, ah well, she's been wrong before.

Here, on the 1891 census, is William J age 1 month. This is the one Graham found. It happens to be an area that I am transcribing for GFHS. Whether this is your William J I don't know. You need to find his father's name from his marriage certificate, or try to order a birth certificate in his name with the date of birth your mother gave you. 12 302 EARL STREET 16 DAVIES GEORGE HD M 36 COPPER SHEARER GLA SWANSEA 12 302 EARL STREET 16 DAVIES ANN WI M 40 GLA SWANSEA 12 302 EARL STREET 16 DAVIES ISAAC SO S 6 SCHOLAR GLA SWANSEA 12 302 EARL STREET 16 DAVIES MARY E DA S 4 SCHOLAR GLA SWANSEA 12 302 EARL STREET 16 WILLIAMS ELIZABETH ML W 64 ON OWN MEANS GLA SWANSEA 12 302 EARL STREET 16 DAVIES WILLIAM J SO S 1M GLA SWANSEA Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: Diehard <diehard1967@shaw.ca> To: <WLS-SWANSEA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 20, 2002 11:34 PM Subject: Re: [Swansea] WILLIAM JOHN DAVIES,of Swansea,b.c;1890. > Thanks alot, I don't know if it's him, I just called my mum in England and > woke her up, oops.
