Hello,
My name is Jenny and I live in Australia.
I have only recently started with my family genealogy. My grandparents Rasmus Jensen was born in 12/2/1901 Landore Swansea and Ellen Hillard born 28/8/00 Glamorgan.
Am not having much luck as yet.
But how wonderful this site will be to learn of Swansea till I come and see it myself.
Cheers
Jenny
Dear Jenny, The name Jensen is not prevalent in the Swansea Glamorgan
region I believe the name may have originated from another county.
I have looked at the 1901 Census online and found a Kenneth Jenson aged
7 weeks born in Landore living in Swansea. The only Rasmus Jensen is a
Denmark Danish Subject aged 29 Living in Northumberland and is a 2nd
Officer.
The only Jensen (no Jenson's in Swansea) are these in 1901:
Age Where Born Administrative County Civil Parish Occupation
Beatrice Jenson 5 Llandilo Carmarthenshire Glamorganshire Swansea
Jesis Jenson 29 Denmark British Subject Glamorganshire Swansea Marine
Enginer
Kenneth Jenson 7W Landore Glamorgan Glamorganshire Swansea
Mary Jenson 27 Llandilo Carmarthenshire Glamorganshire Swansea
In 1881 I found only one entry for Jensen (I would keep this information
for use at a later date):
Dwelling: 2 Grove Street
Census Place: Swansea Town, Glamorgan, Wales

I also found a likely entry for your Ellen Hillard in the 1901 Census.
Ellen Hillard born in Cardiff 7months old living in Canton Glamorgan.
You would have to buy credits online to view her parentage etc. The
website is: http://www.1901census.nationalarchives.gov.uk/
I hope some of this has helped you in your research.
Kindest Regards
Jen
Can anyone help me with a lookup in 1861 or 1871 Swansea census. I'm
trying to find the parents of Thomas BARNHOUSE. There are two listed in
1881, both 19. I have just gotten marriage record of a Emily Sandy to
Thomas BARNHOUSE (he was 19 on Oct 4, 1884) and to my dismay his father
is not on the Cert. Her father is Richard DAVEY. Marriage was
witnesses by Elizabeth FORD and William EVANS. A little checking found
an Elizabeth BARNHOUSE married a William FORD in 1870. Looks like
Elizabeth was born about 1859. She may be a sister or an aunt. Thanks.

I am sending this to all my lists to alert AOLers that last week when
Rootsweb moved some of the lists from the defunct server to a new
server, it has now caused AOL to read the new server as spam and is
bouncing their mail which will lead to the AOL subscribers to be
automatically unsubbed from those lists after three bounces. So, if you
are on the following lists that I admin, you will need to first, inform
AOL about the the new server and secondly, once AOL starts accepting
mail from those lists, you will probably have to resub to the list.
NY-Rensselaer
Irish-in-UK
Roe
Maclean
McGinty
McAtee
The above are the lists I have on the new server. There are many others
on the server that are huge and busy and you will probably know who they
are because those are the ones that you didn't get mail from last week.
If you need help, email me off list and I'll do what I can do to help you.

Hello List!
I have kind of an unusual request. I just attended my first Welsh class and
now that I am home need to keep practicing. The trouble is, I haven't found
anyone close to practice with yet. I AM looking into pre-packaged programs
(books, Cds, etc.) but I have several pages of specific phrases we learned
in class.
I need a native Southern Welsh speaker who has the ability to burn a CD of
my phrase list so I can hear the accent and pronounciation. I can mail the
list of phrases (maybe 100 sentences? I haven't counted them, but they are
the basics--How are you? My name is....Etc.)
I would of course pay all expenses, and a reasonable fee, if requested, and
be eternally grateful. Maybe someone knows a student or someone else who
would be techo-savvy enough to do this and who would be interested.
Please email me if you have suggestions.
Thanks!

I have the marriage certificate of my grandmother Elizabeth Williams who was 25 when she married William James Warner at the parish church, Llandeilo talybont, Pontardulais, on 13/12/1913. Her father is given as Joseph Williams, labourer, of Bolgoed St, Pontardulais.The witness is an S.A.Williams. My mother had very little information about her family as her mother and 2 babies died in the flu epidemic 1920. She seemed to think her mother came from Devon and had been a prison officer, but I've met dead ends in Glamorgan/Devon censuses and I even asked advice from an officer in Swansea prison, who said no record was kept of the staff that worked there. So any help/advice/suggestions will be welcome.Her father incidentally was supposed to have come from Banbury (no record of a birth there!) and came to wales to help build the 11 Arches Viaduct. Best wishes Chris

Or, it could be Morning Star.
Anyway, Hi, All! My M-I-L just informed me that on HER side of the family
there was a woman who was from Morningstar Estate in Wales who was later a
lady-in-waiting (I will go back to those messages!). She married a German
coachman whose surname was Schroeder or Schrader or something like that (my
m-i-l gives me that kind of info all the time!). Evidently they both worked
for the Royal Family at the same time (we're guessing early 1800s).
My question is: Does anyone know where the Morningstar Estate might have
been? I did a web search and ended up with 2000+ hits, but glancing thru
some of them, it seems that "Morningstar" might have been in the South of
Wales.
This woman had a brother who was an officer in the British Army. At
sometime, she inherited the estate, but by time she arrived to claim it, the
statute of limitations had run out (?????) and she didn't get the property.
Does anyone know if THAT makes sense?
Thanks for any suggestions for this muddled mess!
