Martha Edmunds

[Dannemois]

On Dec 19, 1884, Martha Edmunds commenced duties as Monitress at the George Inn Board School for Boys & Girls under the guidance of Mistress Clara Tovey.  I have found a possible Martha on the 1881 and wondered if someone could please help find Martha on later census returns.

On the 1881 census I located a Martha M. Edmunds at home in Glamorgan as follows:
RG11/5308/109/24 @ High Street, Gelligar.
Thomas Edmunds, Head, 52, occ: Master Tailor & Draper, born. Aberystruth, Monmouth
Martha Edmunds, wife, 52, born Goitre, Monmouth
Mary J Edmunds, daug, 20, seamstress, born Bedwellty, Mon
Anny E Edmunds, daug, 15, domestic servant, born Gelligaer, Glam
Martha M Edmunds, daug, 10, scholar, born Gelligaer, Glam

A report in the school log dated Aug 6, 1886 reads: Martha Edmunds pupil teacher absent all week due to the death of her father.

On FreeBMD I found a possible death for her father: Death Sept 1886, Thomas Edmunds, Merthyr Tydfil.

Can someone please do a look-up on the 1891 for a Martha Edmunds as head of household, widow and with daughter Martha [hopefully with occupation related to teaching]

Regards, Roy

Found them still living at High St I think.  Martha M now married to John C B Jones . They have a daughter Martha C one month old.

Excellent, can I please ask for the full account of the census returns and if possible help to track Martha through the other later census

Hi Dips
Is that all the details, could you tell me if the mother was listed as a widow and if Martha the wife had a occupation.  I don't quite understand what 1/12 means, are you saying the daughter Martha C was listed as a month old?  Sorry to be a nuisance but I need as much facts as possible.

Hi  again Roy

Martha Edmunds  widow living on her own means

Martha M only listed wife

Martha C is one month old.

Found family in 1901 could be these,

RG13/5060/5/2  Glyncorrwg couldn't make out streeet name

JB Jones    37                Ebbw vale
MM Jones  30  Wife       Bargoed
J John Jones 13 Son      Quaker Yard
MC Jones 10 Daug        Bargoed

SA Jones 6 Daug        Llanbadach
MJ Jones 4   Daug      Pontypidd

For some reason no christian names are given. Don't know were J John came from let you sort that one out.

Hello again
Looks good, your help on this is very much appreciated.  If you don't know the area then Quakers Yard might look a bit odd but it is a actual place.  With JB being a collier, all place names are coal mining communities so it would seem he moved from place to place to obtain work.
Thanks again, Roy
