Glamorganshire / Re: family tree members
« on: Tuesday 10 August 10 12:14 BST (UK)  »
I'm assuming you have the census details about this family.  Births, marriages & deaths would have been registered at Swansea, so you could contact Swansea register office to try to trace the missing births - giving them all the info you have.
A Richard Rees of Llansamlet Higher appears to have been a local Overseer of the poor according to 2 articles in the Cambrian newspaper, dated 12th July 1878 & 11th April 1879:

Glamorganshire Completed Lookups / Re: Reed/Williams in Pontadawe

The farm on the Gwrhyd mountain is called Pistyll Gwyn.  It's mentioned a few times in Joshua Lewis' book, "A History of Y Gwrhyd".  An index of the translated version is shown at:

Hi,
I'm not researching this family, but may be able to help.   You don't say what the problem is or how far you've managed to get.  Can you give a bit more detail?
You're more likely to find info about the farm under the spelling Tirmynydd or Tir Mynydd.  According to Genuki, Llansamlet it was in Llansamlet Higher.  Modern day postcode:  SA7 9EA - use Google Maps to view satellite picture.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1871/1891/1901 look up Norris

Place of birth is given as Montgomeryshire in 1871 and as Llanidloes, N. Wales in 1891.  She is recorded as Elizabeth in both these censuses.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1871/1891/1901 look up Norris
« on: Wednesday 03 September 08 00:04 BST (UK)  »
Hi Janet,
Are you sure the surname is Norris?  On the 1881 and particularly the 1891 censuses it appears to be Morris.  Freebmd doesn't have a birth reference for an Andrew Norris in Glamorgan, but does have an Andrew Morris born 1866 with a Merthyr registration.
The enumerator's handwriting in 1871 is virtually illegible.  The family are in Merthyr, but I can't make out the address.  Family mambers not included in 1881 are father, James aged 44, born Radnorshire and sons, Richard aged 17, John aged 10 and another son ? David aged ?12.
Ref: RG10/5399, folio 155, pg. 29, sch. 148
In 1891 the family are at 10 Pant Rd., Merthyr.  In addition to mother Elizabeth, are sons James & Andrew, daughter, Sarah and a nephew called Richard aged 11 along with a niece called Martha aged ?
Ref: RG12/4439, folio 135, pg.21

Glamorganshire / Re: Burials at York Place Chapel, Swansea

Hello Welshgirl,
Could I ask for some information on the Rayner burials?
The Rayners were builders who became related by marriage to the family of John Dickson the railway contractor who operated the Mumbles Railway.
