Joe, You are doing well recently. No, I am not a researcher of those names,
but just to say I read your posts and am glad that you are getting
somewhere.
Best wishes Jill,

Subject: [GLA] NIGHEN and CROWLEY - Aberavon - any researchers?
Dear Listers,
I received another piece of the puzzle just today from the GRO ... the death
certificate of my gg-grandfather, Daniel NIGHEN.
Daniel, of Mountain Row, died June 6, 1871, of bronchitis debility. John
CROWLEY was present at the death.
John CROWLEY was still living on Church Street on August 2, 1876, when Ann
NIGHEN died, widow of Daniel. (certified)
I have John CROWLEY married to Johanna NIHEN, daughter of Daniel NIHEN, on
March 20, 1854. (certified)
This establishes the NIHEN residency on Mountain Row from the 1851 Census
until at least 1876. The CROWLEYS continued on in Aberavon until a future
date ... The Free BMD shows a Johanna Crowley who died (Neath registry) in
March 1893. I'm willing to bet next month's mortgage money that this is
Johanna NIHEN.
A couple of more clues: kids! Johanna and John CROWLEY had two of them,
according to the 1861 Census: John (age 2) and Ellen (age 6), and they were
living on Charlotte Street at the time. So, by the time Mom died, the kids
were ages 34 and 40.
Well, we're almost up to the 20th Century. Are there any CROWLEY
researchers out there who recognize my bunch?
Thanks,
Joe Nihen
Lansford, PA
