Wow thanks Osprey! It mentions Theresa Alma! She's my ggg grandmother 
And Lilian is my gg grandmother.
For others researching this is also very useful: http://www.swanseamariners.org.uk/swanseamariners.php
One question I do have is this, is a Master Mariner and a person in the merchant navy the same thing? Is it an automatic understanding that he would have been in the navy?

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Archives Master Mariner lookup request

I have just found my 4 times great grandfather as Master Mariner on board a few ships. 
His name was Thomas Richards, born 1820/1821 in Porthleven/Helston, Cornwall.
His Masters Cert number was: 52647
I found him in the 1861 census onboard the ship Sir Edward, as Master.
I also found him as Master to the following ships between 1864 - 1877 on various trips:
Emily
Florence
Prioress
In the 1881 census he seems to have retired since he is listed as a grocer keeper at Bridge Street, Resolven, Neath.
I would really like to find records for when he became a certified Master Mariner. I assume these records would be kept at the archives in Glamorgan.
Thanks in advance.

Oh wow, Eddie, thanks so much! Elizabeth Jones is CW's mother, but also his wife, so it could be either. Walter Piggott is Elizabeth's(mother) brother-in-law, married to her sister Kate, nee' Goodenough.
21 Carlton street is the address given by Albert Harry Jones on his WW1 records for his mother:)
This means that CW Jones and his wife ES Jones must have left their children at either of these addresses when they went to South Africa.

Thanks Kim. Will have to try and find out if there's any other records for Jones at St Mary the Virgin at that time. You have been so helpful. Thanks again

wow..thanks Kim, that looks promising and possibly the correct option.
Does "lab" mean that David was a labourer in Curbridge?
Any idea what church this may be?
