Location Of Electoral Role 1912-13 Cwmcarvan Court

[Ladkyis]

Do you have the marriage certificate for George SLADE and Rose Alice?
It would be worth getting it just to see where they were married. It could be that the person that George was a butler for did not live at Cwmcarvan Court full time but had other property in other places - perhaps a town house in London or something.
I didn't expect to find George SLADE on the electoral rools because he probably would not have qualified to vote at that time because he did not own property or pay tenpounds or more per year in rent for property and those were two of the qualifications.
I was disappointed that Cwmcarvan Court was not mentioned as a property for someone to vote, apart from the Colonel, I have a friend who is interested in the local history of that area - he lives in trellech - I will ask him what he knows about Cwmcarvan Court.

Yes I have the marrige cert for George and Rose Alice, they were wed April 6th 1912 in Southampton, 6 months later my father was born. They said our generation had all the fun. George( I have his RM papers) left the Royal Marines Light Infantry after 12 years service. His discharge papers state Cwmcarvan Court 27th August 1912. Rose Alice was in Service at the Royal Navel collage in Portsmouth.
Hope this helps

Again Ann thank you for your help.

I have discovered that the auction of this property was at the Beaufort Arms Hotel Monmouth on 15th September 1909. All you need now is someone with access to the local newspapers or record office to look up just after that date to find out who bought the place

Hope someone does for you.

The films of the South Wales Argus and the Monmouthshire Beacon are in theRef. Library so I'll try and get there this week - now I've said that it will probably mean that every day something will conspire to prevent me getting there so no promises ok?

Dear Mr Slade,

I believe that the owner of Cwmcarvan Court was Mr William Parkyn Jeffcock. I have a document dated by him in 1918. He was my Great Uncle (ie my Great grandfather's brother). I know he died childless, and supposedly left his estate to the groom. I am actually trying to find out what happened to him.

best regards,

William Jeffcock

Can some one please asssit me in locating the Electoral Role for Cwmcarvan Court, Cwmcarvan, Trelleck, Mon., for 1912-13. My father Jack Henry Slade Bn 1912 at Cwmcarvan Court. His father George Slade Mother Rose Alice Slade listed on Birth Cert as Butler Domestic. I am trying to find out the name of the house owner. It was sold by Auction in 1910.
I have tried Gwent Records Office, Newport Records, Monmouth Museum and Monmouth Library no one has any idea where these records are.

Hello William

I have just returned from my short holiday in Wales.Whilst there I went to the Gwent record office and the Nelson Museum in Monmouth.
From the electoral rolls of Cwmcarvan Court 1912-19 I discovered who did indeed buy part of the property and also that William Parkyn JEFFCOCK didn't in fact move there till 1918.

I have passed the info on to Jack that a Henry Edward WALTERS RN was the buyer of the house and some of the surrounding lodges and cottages.
This of course links in nicely with Jack's grandfather being in the Royal Marines.

Hopefully we can move on now we have that query solved.

Regards,

Carol
