Is there any-one out there doing research about the Greenhill Area of Swansea, any information they may have would be very interesting.  With Thanks

One of my families being researched resided in Greenhill, in Emma Street.  Street no longer exists.   There are very few resources on the web regarding this district however I recently discovered a web site that promises maps in the near future:-

There is a very useful section on Greenhill in Norman L Thomas' book 'The History of Swansea's districts and villages'.  An autobiography 'Swansea Girl' makes reference to the district.

Emma Street is referred to in the Swansea Cholera reports.

I am not researching but have personal knowledge and some records. Come back if you feel I can help.

I have two interesting books on the Greenhill area and as my Irish ancestors settled there I have knowledge on this area. If that is any help to you?
