My great great grandfather John POTHECARY was baptised in Wellow, Somerset
on 15 October 1820.
The 1841 census shows that he was a miner aged 20 living at Garnfach,
Nantyglo Iron Works, Aberystruth, Monmouthshire.
He married Sarah EVANS in the parish church at Llanelly, Breconshire on 7
August 1842 when he was a miner living in Brynmawr.
The couple were living in Cwmcelyn in 1843 and 1845 when their daughters
Mary Ann and Jane were born.
By 1849 the family was living in Bedwellty when their daughter Elizabeth was
born.
By the time of the 1851 census the family had moved to 106 Hall St,
Victoria.
Their later children were born: -
1852 Ellen born Contractors row, Bedwellty
1856 George born at the same address
1858 William born Cwmderrch, Bedwellty
1860 Sarah born at the same address
The 1861 census shows the family living at Top of Crumlin, Penmain,
Mynyddislwyn.
1862 William died and Rosa born Crumlin
1865 John born Crumlin
The 1871 census shows the family living at 53 Himalaya Range, Manmoel,
Tredegar
The 1881 census shows the family living at 21 Himalaya Range, Bedwellty
13 April Sarah died at 2 New Houses, Tredegar
1884 John died at 2 Trodrhiwgwair, Tredegar
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has come across the baptisms of
the various children or, indeed, anyone who has a connection with this
family.
