Hi List and Jeff, sorry I couldn't remember your name Jeff, but I do
believe it was you who got me this far with my Davies line in the first
place. The excerpts from the 1891 and 1901 were all that was sent to me, I
printed them in their entirety. I don't know if Cockett Sketty would be
considered Swansea Higher.
Thanks All
