Melbourne House in Tongwynlais

[john.reypert]

Does anybody know where Melbourne House in Tongwynlais near Cardiff is (or was)?
In the 1901 census it was occupied by a locomotive fitter and his family.
An enquiry in the local history society failed to locate it.

Hello

I have been  trying to find MELBOURNE  HOUSE in Tongwynlais but cannot find any reference to it.  Have you looked at any of the other censuses to see if the correct address was entered.

Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for looking as well. The boys in pentyrch also checked and it seems a puzzle to everyone.
Regards

There is a Melbourne Road in Llanishen, just off Fidlas Rd / Ty-Glas Avenue / Station Road.
It lies next to a railway line, and an internet search brings back No 26 Melbourne Road as 'Melbourne House'.

Melbourne House,
26, Melbourne Road,
Llanishen,
Cardiff,
South Glamorgan

Hello John

I have just been looking at the site curiousfox and noticed that there was an enquiry about a death of a John Mansell who lived at Melbourne Terrace Tongwynlais. I cannot look at the 1901 census as I am with findmypast and they have not yet processed it yet.
Perhaps if you could check it may give you some indication where it is and if there
is a house  with the same name in that place.
