West Glamorgan Archives hold a number of records of the Gower Board of
Guardians under the general heading UG - Gower Union Board of Guardians
Records. This appears to include inmate registers and records 1869-1958,
including records of the Glanymor Old People's Home which succeeded the
workhouse as occupier of the building.

Subject: [WLS-SWANSEA] Penmaen Workhouse.
Hello All,
My Grandmother was born 1896 in Penmaen workhouse, although it does appear
that her mother Louisa Loney (Looney) did have a family home, where she
probably returned to. Not quite sure why she was in the workhouse.
Name of father has never surfaced.
Does anybody know if a record of Association Orders was kept for the Swansea
area.
Thanks,
Russell Phillips
