Hello to all
If anyone plans to visit the Archives at Cardiff, I would be most grateful if they could
possibly find time to look at the electoral register for:
7 PANT STREET, LLANGEINOR for 1902/3.
My Grandmother Mary Ann Ellis gave birth to her daughter Sarah Ann in February 1902 at
this address. I am trying to ascertain whether she went to this address to give birth or
whether it was the family home, in which case I would hope to find Thomas Ellis her
husband, and possibly his father John Ellis could also be there. I have a big gap to fill
in before I find the family re-united in Treharris in 1911 census.
When I was over in wales in May, I was able to consult the Bridgend workhouse
admission/discharges and faith registers. I knew that my Father was born there in May
1903, I think because the medical treatment was free and Mary Ann is already in there
early 1903, then I found an admission for David Vane, her son by a previous marriage, he
was admitted 2nd Feb 1903 for reason 'deserted'. On 14th Feb 1903 Sarah Ann who
would be just about 1 year old, is also admitted for reason 'deserted' which
would lead me to believe that the father, Thomas Ellis, was not in the workhouse . Both
children were discharged from the workhouse by the 'Mother' 10 August, 1903.
Many thanks
Gwen
