Dear John
Cokers were, and are, people who produced/produce coke from coal. This could be used in blast furnaces etc, but there were and are other industrial products created by the process.
Best wishes

Hello All-
Could someone help me with the definition of a Coker. My definition may not
match of what the Tredegar 1871 term meant.
Also:
As I look at Iron & Duke Streets and the Irish birth origins, I often see
town names such as Youghal, Skibbereen or Scull but I also see Cork. Is
there a consistent interpretation of Cork as a City or Cork as a county that
can be drawn based on your folks knowledge and experience looking at these?
Thank you very much.
John
In Nantyglo 1856, George STRONG of Blaina married Sarah Broom Stratton. His father was "Thomas Strong, deceased".
In Blaina 1863, Mary Ann STRONG of Blaina married George Latcham. Her father was "Thomas Strong, deceased".
I have not located this Thomas Strong family in any UK census.
I have ruled out George Strong of Thornbury, who was in Trevethin in 1851. He was the son of Sophia the unmarried daughter of Richard Strong (who also had a daughter named Mary, older than Mary Ann named above).
Any clues about this Thomas Strong and family will be sincerely welcomed.
Sue.
Is there a "best site" to search a Jenkins Line out of Tredegar (Nanty
bwch)...someone told me on this site the name of the JENKINS and his email who
works in the history center next to city hall in Tredegar...a computer glitch
lost that ...would anyone know that. INcidentally the US National Gymanfa is
scheduled for the end of this month..see _http://www.wngga.org/nafow_hm.html_
(http://www.wngga.org/nafow_hm.html) is anyone else who uses this site going?
we could meet while we're there...?

John,
I am so sorry for the delay; I have just noticed that I sent this to the wrong group!
The Gwent Record Office has just provided me with the following list of Catholic Records in its collection:
Abergavenny, Our Lady and St. Michael's
Baptisms 1740 - 1852, 1864 - 1920
Marriages 1839 - 1854, 1864 - 1963
Deaths 1820 - 1908
Burials 1894 - 1967
(also Index to Registers of Baptisms, 1864 - 1941)
Dukestown, Church of the Immaculate Conception
Marriages 1983 - 1997
Monmouth, St. Mary
Baptisms 1791-1979 (including Perthir 1791 - 1797)
Marriages 1799 - 1918
Newport, St. Mary's, Stow Hill
Baptisms 1835 - 1915
Marriages 1836 - 1919
Deaths 1838 - 1905
Newport, St. Michael's
Baptisms 1888 - 1919
Perthir (merged with Monmouth 1818)
Baptisms 1751 - 1818
Pontypool, St. Albans
Baptisms 1836 - 1923
Marriages 1848 - 1891
Usk, Saints David Lewis and Francis Xavier
Baptisms 1876 - 1947
Marriages 1876 - 1955
(both registers are closed from 1916 onwards)
Mike John's site also has details of Catholic Records: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~monfamilies/myfamily-history.htm
Michael Gandy's book 'Catholic missions and registers 1700-1880' lists the locations of all known original records and gives details of any copies as at 1993. Volume 3 (of 6) covers Wales & the West of England, which is superseded by the Gwent Record Office list above. The Monmouthshire section is four pages long, but I am willing to try to answer any questions.
Most of the register are still with the parish priests. The Archdiocese of Cardiff, which includes Gwent, has its own website giving the parishes: www.rcadc.org
I hope this helps. I have had great fun trying to find my Catholic relatives.

Dear Listers,
This week's 'Retrospective Images of Wales' webpages, just uploaded onto
my website, include:
1. Scenes captured in and around the market town of Abergavenny in the
county of Monmouthshire (eight pictures). This
feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in February 1998.
2. An exploration of the two-thousand-year-old Roman amphitheatre and
barracks at Caerleon in the county of Monmouthshire (nine pictures). This
feature was first shown on 'Images of Wales' in November 2000.
As usual, these webpages will be on display for one week.
'Retrospective Images of Wales' is at
www.jlb2005.plus.com/walespic/retro/retro.htm
While there, take the time to explore my 'Webpage Archive' and make your
own Retrospective request
Kind regards,
John
