Ayrshire / Re: mullholland and neil marriage 1850 +

I was very excited to read your post.  I did research a few years ago because I too am related to this family.  Robert and Lillias Neil of Kilmarnock are my great grandparents. Their son Joseph was my grandfather.  He moved to Swansea in South Wales, where he married my grandmother. My own mother was also given the name Lillias! I would be happy to share any information I have.

Re. 'old theatre', there is a possibility of three theatres in Swansea.  There was the Palace Theatre at the top of High Street (still standing but derelict), the Grand Theatre which was renovated and extended and is still in use to this day, but the popular theatre at that time might have been The Empire (which was demolished many years ago).

Re. Singleton Manor - there is still in existence Singleton Abbey, which is currently being used as an administrative centre for Swansea University.  It is situated between Singleton Park and the grounds of the University.

Have you seen a transcription of the memorial stone?  I can provide that for you if you like?

Does anyone know anything about World's End area of Swansea.  I know it existed, but where was it?

Glamorganshire / Obtaining a Marriage Cetificate for 1808
« on: Monday 20 July 09 11:55 BST (UK)  »
How do I get hold of a marriage certificate which took place in 1808?  I don't think this age of certificate is available through Swansea Registry Office.

I would like to buy the marriage certificate of a John Shepherd and Mary Chalk who married on 8/03/1808 in Porteynon.

Could anyone advise me please?

In the 1861 Census the granddaughter Lilly has the surname Kellahin, I am wondering at what age she became known as Mullholland. 

I understand her father was Joseph Mulholland but why wasn't she using that surname at the age of 11?  Her parents seem to have married the same year as she was born.  Maybe her surname on the birth certificate was that of the mother's (Ellen) and it seems she didn't use the surname of her father until much later.

Where can I find a birth record for her?

Thanks for taking the time to look up all these names.

The 1891 Census taken at Boyd Street is the exact family I'm interested in.

Sorry for the vagueness of my first request!  The Kellahin family I am interested in, appear in the 1861 Census.  There are two Lillias Kellihans listed, is it possible for someone to look up what the relationship is between the two?
