Giles Family from Pontypridd

[FintryGirl]

Thank you so much again for the advice, you are probably right that the middle names could have been used.  I will certainly continue.  I think you have nailed down Nimroy so I may have to go sideways to be able to go forward.

Thanks

I have a little more information regarding the Giles family now a note was found in the effect of late Nimroy Giles late wife. - It says  Benjamin Giles was born about 1865 and he married Ellen Willis b about 1868 and they married 1886 -  Her parents were Richard Willis and Sarah March married about 1856 Richards father was Ephram Willis and Sarah's father was James Willis.

Benjamin and Ellen's children are noted as Florence, Frank, Jack, Jennie, Ethel, James, Nimroy and Nellie. 

Anything I can find on this family will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Cas has given you the reference for ordering Benjamin & Ellen's marriage certificate in her first reply.

1881 census is free to access Ellen  Wiilis is with her family in Cardiff.

The 1911 census is now online and is pay to view, so you can look at the transcript or original page yourself. (Nimroy has been transcribed as Nimred)

there are marriages transcribed for both parishesbut only up to 1753, so doesn't help here.

1871 Shute lane, Bruton, Somerset RG10/2427 folio 65 pg 26
Benjmain T Giles head mar 32 labourer b. Dorset, Gillingham
Eliza J wife 24 b. Castle Cary
Benjamin son 4 b. Castle Cary
William son 2 b. Bruton

marriage reg
Benjamin Thomas Giles sept qtr 1869 Wincanton 5c pg 785 with Eliza Jane Whitcombe on the same page

birth reg
Benjamin Giles Whitcombe march qtr 1867 Wincanton vol 5c pg 547

Ellen Willis sept qtr 1869 Wincanton vol 5c pg 499

1881 the Giles family has been transcribed as Gibbs. Looks rather like Gibbs on the original page, but I'm pretty certain it should be Giles.
2 Davis Place, Leckwith, Glam RG11/5284 folio 23 pg 44
Benjamin Giles head mar 42 gen lab b. Somerset, Castle Cary
Jane wife 33 b. Castle cary
Benjamin son 14 b. Castle cary
William Charles son 12 b. Bruton
Flora Jane dau 9 b. Cardiff
Lottie dau 3 b. Cardiff
+ lodgers (one of the lodgers is enumerated as wife's brother, but I think it means brother of the lodging wife)

Eliza Jane is enumerated as Witcombe in 1851 & 1861.

Hope something here helps.

Thank you so much the family in your first reply is who I'm looking for.  This gives me a real good start. Where do I look to see the 1881 census, then I'll try the 1911.

Thanks again.

[osprey]

the 1881 transcriptions can be accessed here 

 http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

and the original pages can be seen on sites like Ancestry


Just noticed I left out Benjamin's age in a reply - I'll edit.

[FintryGirl]

Thanks for the website the only Benjamin Giles I could come up with in 1881 in Wales was the son of George.  I don't think this is the Benjamin I'm looking for.  I'll try Ancenstry.

[osprey]

as I posted earlier, Benjamin's family has been transcribed as Gibbs and Ancestry & Findmypast and probably others use the same transcription.

Thanks for your interest. I'll try Gibbs.
