Re:Surname interests in Glamorgan.

[Chris in 1066Land]

Hi there Ros

GRANDMOTHER; CLARICE DAVIES B 1920 MARRIED A THOMAS FORD-HORNE
GT GRANDFATHER ; TITUS DAVIES B CIRCA 1883 POSS CARDIGAN WALES MARRIED A MARGARET JANE WALL CIRCA 1901 SHE WAS BORN MERTHYA TYDFILL GLAMORGAN
THAT IS ABOUT ALL KNOW
THERE ARE VAROIUS BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOR BOTH GENERATIONS BUT NONE OF THESE HAVE BEEN VERIFYED SO I AM AT ALOSS WHAT TO DO
I HAVE BEEN ON FREE BMD AND 1881 CENSUS BUT IT SEEMS A VERY COMMON NAME AND THE LANGUAGE AND PLACE NAMES ARE HARDLY READABLE TO US FOREIGNERS HA AH
I AWAIT FOR REPLY

If Titus was born c1883 – he would be about 7 or 8 in the 1891 census.

I have just put Titus Davies in the 1891 census on line; it came back with 25 matches – of which there is only one 7year old born in Cardigan.  There is also a 7 year old born in Glamorgan and an 8 year old born in Carnarthenshire.

There are 9 people with the name Margaret Wall (but none with Margaret J Wall) in the 1891 census – and none with a birth place of Merthya Tydfill - assuming she is about the same age as Titus, there are two 7 year olds and one 9 year old.

Any further clues as to which Titus or Margaret it may be?

Hi there Ros

Have re-visited the people mentioned above on the 1891 census for Wales.

Unfortunately it has not thrown up any further proof that any of those mentioned could be your ancestors.

None of the Titus Davies found had a twin sister or siblings named Rebecca and Sarah.
Had another look for a Margaret Wall now we know her age to be nearer 11  - sorry there were non.

Up to now, I do not seem to be pressing the correct buttons; but possibly a letter to Cardigan College may bring forth some further details.

I noticed one of your interest names was Sellick.
I have got some way back tracing my Grandmothers line who moved from Tonypandy to Hereford sometime in the 1920s. But am stuck going back from her Grandfather who was  John Sellick born 1839 in Colaton Raleigh in 1839 (I think). He married (probably second wife ) Anna  Balson in 1874, and they had 4 children all born in Ystradafodwg (Tonypandy between 1875 and 1880). I wonder if this John Sellick crops up on any census earlier than 1881.
On the 1881 John Sellick appears as Jass. Sellick

Thank you,Noel

Dear Noel Thank you for your posting. Due to the popular Surname of Rees. Is it possible for you to answer these questions to narrow down the search?

Where was David born in 1821?

What was John Rees (David's Father) occupation, at the time of David's birth?

You also list Cardiff in Carms. I know you may have typed this in error but Cardiff is in Glamorganshire, with some records held in Monmouthshire

If you can answer the above I may be able to help you more
