My G Grandfather Frederick Vernon was a docks worker in 1901 I don't suppose he's on the list? The Vernon family also had a history of boiler making with Frederick's father Thomas Vernon coming to live in Cardiff at the end of the 1880s to, I believe, work on the docks building boilers. So any Vernon information would be of interest to me.

Many thanks.

What an interesting find. Thanks for this offer!

I wonder if any of my relatives are in there ~ by the name of Svombo, Swambo, or similar, please?

Thanks for looking!

Hi
Sorry no Name of Swambo in this Register.
There are 26 names starting with the letter  S but sadly not that one or any thing that sounds or looks like this surname.

Hi Cardiff

Thank you very much for looking ~ much appreciated.

It was certainly worth a try as the family lived in Butetown.

Best wishes
