Great idea, thanks.
Just checking… my mother’s half sisters name, full name? Maiden name or married surname?

Hello there!
Thanks so much for getting in touch. Yes I’m Viola’s eldest daughter & I’m guessing you are related to the son/daughter of the Mann brothers.
I’ve always been fascinated by family history as I know so little & went down the rabbit hole of trying to do some research during the pandemic. The stumbling block is always Robert Lionel, as you obviously understand.
The furthest I’ve got is Beatrice Lewis, I have a photocopy of RLs birth certificate I’d be happy to share with you.
Let’s keep in touch!

Brilliant work PB!
Clare & I have deduced that Lettice & Jane were both married in Portsea in April & July 1850 respectively. It seems their father Thomas Jones died after Lettice’s marriage but before Jane’s. This is quite a small window of time but as Thomas Jones is quite a common name & we don’t know where he died, it’s not an easy task.
Clare, I’ve had a look at Free BMD & there are no deaths in Pembroke or Portsea for this time period. I wonder if we are looking at an event like Charles Bureau’s where the death was not registered in the normal fashion.

Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Re: Rhiw Park Abertillery 1903

Hi Shaun thanks for your input, it looks as if Mr Perry was a coal miner with a young family.
Looking through the census it seems Rhiw  (Rhew) Park was home to mostly mining families at that time. From other info I have it’s likely the baby’s father was a married miner.
It’s a story I may never get the the bottom of, but it’s always worth posing these questions to the Rootschat community!

Monmouthshire Lookup Requests / Rhiw Park Abertillery 1903
« on: Saturday 02 July 22 06:32 BST (UK)  »
My grandfather was born in 21 Rhiw Park, Abertillery in July 1903, does anyone know who was living at this address at the time? Looking at the map I can see there is a Rhiw Park, road, terrace & mews, I’m not sure if all three of these streets were in existence in 1903.
In attendance at the birth & the person registering the birth was Elizabeth Thomas.
My grandfathers mother was named Beatrice Lewis, she was an unmarried mother & possibly not usually resident at Rhiw Park.
If anyone knows who was registered as living there during the 1901 census this info might also be helpful.
Thanks in advance for any contributions

Hi to everyone who’s been on the trail of Charles Bureau father of Charles Abraham Bureau.
Just putting a note here as progress has been made! Clare & I were lucky enough to have met several clever & kind people who were able to point us in the right direction.
Here’s a link to the thread, it’s a long one with plenty of twists & turns along the way, so do read to the end.

We would now like to know more about Charles’ wife Janes’s ancestry, if anyone has made any headway on this we’d love to hear from you.

Many thanks PB, after searching for so long, it’s a wonderful feeling to have some answers  :)
Following on from the 1851-2 census I was curious about the other absent son Theophile-Jean who was understood to be in Boston. It seems Theophile lived the remainder of his life in the USA, where he was known as John T Bureau.

In the 1900 USA census Theophile/John is living with his son George-Henri & family in Manistee, Michigan, a few years later he passed away 12 January 1903 aged 76. Theophiles’ wife Luce (same name as his mother) passed away a few years previously in 1900 aged 70

I was thrilled to stumble upon this delightful photo of George-Henri & his wife Georgina.

Just had a closer look & column 9 is quite interesting, “Marie/non Marie” married or single?
For Charles it indicates that he’s married, Charles & Jane married in 1850.
