I was looking for Cannal Row Taffs Well, my grandmother was born there in 1895.
Thought Cannal side and cannal row may well be near each other. name of family Jackson  mothers name Wright. What about you?

Hi again. I have just looked in my message page and infact was sent a picture of Canalrow. I am not very clever with computer technology. If you can tell me how i do it, i will post it to you.
Many Thanks.

It seems it may have been clssed as Eglwysilan rather than Taffs well.
Eglwysilan parish ran the east side of the River Taf from Cilfynydd down towards Taffs Well area and over the peak of the mountain towards Abertridwr , on top is the St Ilan Church.

I have added the link for the 1891 census below.
