A large number of my family were married in the Swansea Register
Office. They were all from Morriston, the Registrar was usually
Jeremiah Daniel.
The subsequent births tend to show a Glasbrook as the registrar. I
know the Glasbrooks lived on Woodfield Street.
Was ther a Sub Office of the Swansea Register Office situated in
Morriston? If so does anyone know where?
