London and Middlesex / Re: Little Syon House

Thanks Rosie, so it seems that he did work for the owners of Syon Park which is what I remember hearing as a child. Evidently the family got kicked out when Richard died as the children, my Grandfather included, ended up scattered around the country in various educational establishments (better than the Workhouse I suppose!). That's the way it was then I guess. I will have a look at some maps....thanks again

Hi Rosie, my Great Grandparents were Richard and Julia Simmonds who appear on the census for 1871 and 1881 at Little Syon . I'm just curious as to where this was as all evidence suggests this house was demolished in 1818! Any help will be great, thank you

As yet I haven't done any more than to try and Google it, but thanks for the suggestions, I will give them a go!

Hi, yes I saw this too but as my Great Grandparents were living there in 1881 I guess it must be a different house? Unless the house was demolished in 1818 but whoever owned the land still farmed it but lived somewhere else? This is what confused me!!

London and Middlesex / Little Syon House
« on: Saturday 14 March 15 15:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, wonder if anyone can help. According to the census records for 1871 and 1881 my Great Grandparents lived in a cottage on the estate of Little Syon (or Sion?) House in Isleworth. Although I can find out a lot about Syon House there appears to be nothing about Little Syon...were they different places? Be grateful for any information.
Thanks

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: Jones/Beynon Marriage

Hi

Hmmm thanks for that....have to do a bit more digging, names are right but that's a heck of difference in years isn't it? On the 1911 census they claim to have been married 20 years! The friend whose family tree I'm researching is going to speak to an elderly aunt to see if she can help at all...but thanks again, you never know it could be them!

Hi

Yes you're right, he isn't quite that old haha! What I meant was that it doesn't look like something that would have been lived in even in 1871 but apparently there are other records of the family being there so I guess they must have....just thought there may be someone out there with local knowledge who could throw some light on it! Thanks for pictures, hey if I'd known I could have got The Doctor to check it out for me!!

Glamorganshire / Ivy Tower
« on: Tuesday 07 January 14 16:03 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am researching another family, this time on behalf of a friend and we are a little puzzled. There are a couple of census records including the one of 1871 which show the family's address as being The Ivy Tower, Llantwit Juxta Neath...now as a Cardiff girl myself I don't know this area but my friend tells me that he remembers this place from his childhood growing up in the area and that as a falling down listed structure they couldn't possibly have lived in it. So can anyone shed any light on this please?
Thanks
Gaynor
