Hello lister's,
Just getting back to listing after having surgery,
two new bionic knee's.. :-)
Would SKS please assist me in locating my Townsend family as included
below please?
My Grand father was born in Rhiw Sir Dafydd, Mynyddyslwyn, R.D. 07 Oct
1899.Thomas James Townsend.. Would also like guidance as to access to
pertinent records-Census for his area 1841-1901 please?
I would like to locate my family on a census record so I can then track them
forward and back if possible please. Also if anyone recognizes this family
please contact me either on or off list..
My apologies in advance for being Geographically challenged, I had been
subscribed to the Monmouth list and never received any messages or help,
strange it still exists.. Did not realize that Monmouth became Gwent
although I do remember family speaking of Gwent..
