Walter Grinter (1890) - census look-up please.

[Phil Goater]

Hi, I'm interested to find the parents of Walter Grinter whose birth was registered in Swansea in 1890. I'd also be interested to find out about the family of Leah Baker whose birth was registered in Swansea in 1892.

Regards,
Phil

Parents in 1891 are Walter (36 General Labourer) and Ann (35) and siblings David C (9), Sarah E (7), William (5) and Mary A (2)
+ boarder Arthur and Elizabeth Wight? + son Walter H

Llandilotalybont, Swansea
RG12/4471 Folio 50 Page 8

All born Swansea apart from Walter senior, born Somerset Long......?

Thank you Cat - it's what I suspected and hoped for. Could you look at the lodgers again and tell me if the 'W' could be a 'D'? Were they born in Long Load or thereabouts as well? I know Walter senior had a younger sister Elizabeth who married Arthur Dight.
I'd also be grateful for any sign of Leah Baker(1892) in the 1901 census.

Regards,
Phil

Hi Phil,

Can confirm that surname is Dight for Arthur, Elizabeth & Walter H  on 1891.

Many thanks Chris. It looks like a whole generation upped sticks from Somerset to find their fortune in Swansea! It must have had a significant impact on the population of Long Load!
Is there any chance of seeing Walter's family in the 1901 census? I'm looking for clues as to the maiden name of his wife.

Cheers,
Phil

Many thanks Cas - the  distant relations of my wife are becoming more and more numerous! (I trust that should be Walter as head of the family?)
I managed to find Walter's wife's name on freebmd so is it possible to locate the Ann Bevan who married him with her parents prior to marrying him?

Regards,
Phil

Sorry will recheck....

Transcription says, 'William', image states 'William', all else fits, so must be error 

Save me looking, when did they marry?
