From other posts, it seems that the street names of St Fagans have changed from time to time. Which at least explains my lack of progress on this.
In the 1851 census there are 5 households related to my Harding ancestors:
Abraham Harding in Mill Cottage (my 4xg grandfather, my mother's direct paternal ancestor)
Joseph Harding in Mill House (his son and 9th child)
Ann Harding in 'Hill St nr 3' (widow of his son and 3rd child, also Abraham)
Rachel Edmunds in 'Church Rd nr 1' (nee Rachel Harding his daughter and 7th child)
Jacob Harding in 'Church Rd nr 2' (his son and 6th child)
For the record, Abraham's fifth child, John Harding, came to Australia in 1849, and thence down to me!
Mill Cottage and Mill House are clear from the 1840 tithe map (being in plot 84).
Jacob is located in plot 164, on that map, and so my guess is that what is now Greenwood Lane used to be Church Road? The other mystery is the identity of Hill Street? (The only other hint that might be useful is that the next listed household in the census after 'Hill St nr3' is 'Rose Cottage'.
So the questions, for lookup on an old map??, are:
1) Did Greenwood Lane used to be Church Street? (If not, where is Church St??)
2) Where is, or was, Hill Street and/or Rose Cottage?
Many thanks, in advance, for any help, and even for just reading this far.
Cheers
Bill
