Title: 1861 William James Alsop (abt 3yrs old)
Post by: bla002 on Thursday 12 April 07 10:38 BST (UK)

Hello,

If anyone has any information about the household that William James Allsop (b. 1858-59) was a child in during 1861, I would appreciate it.  Trevethin or thereabouts.
I hoping for a William as father, possibly a 0-1 yr old George (my g-grandfather), the wife/mother might be Sarah.

Thanks in advance
BLA

PS If Osprey reads this, thank you very much for the tip about the Parish registers at Genuki.  Trevethin and Panteg had a little, but Pontnewynydd was a gold mine (although looking at ancestors' occupations, coal mine might be a better metaphor).

Thank you Tanji.  I'm guessing that it's Abersychan for the address.  G-G grandma Sarah might be from Bristol, Somerset originally.
It's reassuring they are there in 1861, things seem to be fitting together.   (I hoped that they might be sharing with other family at that time, but that was probably wishful thinking).

Thanks again,
BLA
