I have been investigating a Charles Martin who left Wales around 1872 for the U.S. I have
lots of information about his origins and family, but nothing about where he ended up
after leaving Wales.
His mother was named Mary Ann, and although he had an older brother named Frank (or
Francis), Charles's father was named William (who died around 1858/59, when Charles
was still a boy). In 1861, Charles was living with his mother and siblings in Llandaff,
Glamorganshire. In 1871, Charles was on his own, living near Pontypridd, where he was a
coal miner.
I'd be happy to share the info I have with anyone trying to find more about the
background of the Charles Martin they are trying to track down.
