Post by: tenby tart on Friday 16 May 08 16:27 BST (UK): Thank you Chris I wondered what type of houses they are I imagine they will be terraced.
Lynne
Title: Re: Penarth
Post by: Grandma Chris on Friday 16 May 08 18:28 BST (UK): Hi Lynne,

I think that they are terraced with front doors straight onto the street. No front gardens. I will try to take a photo soon.

Chris. :)

Post by: pjbuk007 on Friday 16 May 08 19:07 BST (UK): You can see it on virtual Earth here:-
http://maps.live.com/?FORM=MICA01&rtp=~

Just put in the postcode in the box which says "Address, city, or postcode"

Then when you see the roadmap, click on Birds Eye, and you will see that they are terrace houses, very good view.
The marker is in the wrong place, so not sure which house it is.

Google Earth is good, too. But if you do not want to download it, have a look at putting in the postcode on Google Maps:-
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps

Just put in the address and postcode and you can zoom in. Aerial view is flat but better than MSN's aerial view.

I always look at addresses I find in these.

Post by: valiant on Tuesday 30 September 08 10:23 BST (UK): Hi i am at present researching my wife's side of the family and her mother hails from Penarth.
i am trying to find any information on Mary E Howells born about 1862 and married an Evan James born about 1853 Sully i believe the Howells owned shops in Penarth and were well to do.
among there children was Frank James born about 1898 and was a survivor of the SS Trevessa which sank in 1927 and became somewhat of a local hero if anyone can help i would be most grateful.
Thanks
Dave

Title: Re: Penarth
Post by: Cate on Friday 12 March 10 10:23 GMT (UK): Thanks Christine - so do I understand correctly - there is a Salop Street AND a Salop Place?

I wondered if my ancestors lived in the same place as the original poster?

Post by: Grandma Chris on Friday 12 March 10 10:50 GMT (UK): Hi Cate,

Salop Street is quite a long road and Salop Place runs off it. I live nearby.
Title: Re: Penarth
Post by: Cate on Friday 12 March 10 10:58 GMT (UK): Thanks Gadget :)

I can see the 2 streets clearly now.

Also found Grove Terrace where my Aunt used to live.

My grandmother used to live at Maughan Street when she was a girl but I gather it no longer exists.

Thanks to you also Christine. I visited Penarth in 2000 but I wasn't as interested in family history then as I am now :-\

Hope to get back there next year and do some exploring.

Really appreciate your help. :)
