Hi list, I have the 1891 Cardiff census index and am having trouble getting
it to open with Windows Vista Home Premium. Please can anyone help?
Many thanks

Many thanks to Jill, Gareth and David for suggestionsand info.
What I am now really trying to find out is why the death ocCurred in Leslie Terrace, not at home. Too near for holidaying was it accident, who lived in the house, 71 which is not the parents house or grandparents as far as I can work out.So thought a name of residents , thanks Jill for suggesting E/reg., might be a start.
You are all right the sexton at Trealaw is super.Thanks to him I have such a lot of detail on the others buried there,
Cheers and Thanks .
Sue in LLantrisant
Hello Sue
The telephone no for the Trealaw cemetery 01443
682829. The sextons are very helpful if you know the
date roughly they will give you information where the
grave is and date of funeral if you visit you can have
a notice of interment lots of detail as to the persons
residence age and who gave details.

If anyone needs any information on the Cardiff Branch of the Glamorgan FHS, you can contact me and I will try to help. The Cardiff Branch internet link to me has been taken off the website due to the amount of spam received. As Jeff says, there is no Cardiff Family History Society although there are some local history societies in various parts of Cardiff.

Seeing your reference to the company houses, Hafod, reminds me that my
grandfather's place of birth in 1879 is given in one reference as
'Company Houses, Hafod' and in another as 'Hollybush Terrace,
Hopkinstown'. Now I know these two are at least close but could they
be the same place? (I know from previous corro on the list that there
is still a Hollybush hotel or pub.)

Hi David
John ROWLANDS does not appear to have come as an assisted immigrant to
Sydney in 1880 -1896 period or as unassisted to NSW or Victoria.
Unfortunately Victorian assisted immigration online only goes up to 1871.
I used NSW State Records and Public Record Office of Victoria sites.
Good luck in your search for the family.

I think the 'Hafod' you are talking about was Hafod-drainiog near Mountain
Ash. I was talking about Hafod in Swansea.

In order to cross the river at the North Dock there was a charge for using
the bridge as late as the 1870s. There were ferries across the river at
various points. Many employees of Hafod works lived in the company houses in
'Vivianstown', on either side of Neath Road, Hafod. Greenhill Street was a
bit further away and almost certainly not company housing.

I've been trying to work out what became of the brother, John, of my
great grandfather David ROWLANDS', and his family.
Here, below, they are in the 1881 census, living next door to David
and his family in Llanwonno. (I think one of their sisters also lives
in another adjacent house.)
However, I have been quite unable to find them in any subsequent
record, such as the 1901 census.
I've tried looking for them in a (limited) number of migration records
(Ellis Island, Castle Garden) though I have not yet tried passenger
lists to places like Australia.
If anyone comes across them, I'd be pleased to hear. Incidentally,
having looked at the records from which these were transcribed I
suspect that 'Marvan' should read 'Morgan' (However, until I can find
him again somewhere else I can't be certain!)

Here's another 1871 census occupation I hadn't come across before.
"Patch miner", against three 13/15 year old *girls* in a coal mining area
in Llangiwg parish.
I did a search on the phrase on the 1881 and came across "working in mine
patch" - in an area within a few miles of the above.
Also "working at coal patch" in Llangunider, BRE - both young women

After you kindly referred me to it, I joined and have since posted a
query to the forum about Capel Calfaria.
As to the extensive church and chapel list already on that site, I
think that was all taken into account in Gareth Hicks' wonderful
database on GENUKI and includes only the two mentioned below.
