Hi Swansea,
First time down that neck of the woods searching for my Grandads
brother James ROBERTS b 1876 in Llanymynech, Shropshire. I lost him
when he left home at 16 only to find him in 1891 in Dartford working
for his brother. He scarpered again and in 1901 I thought I had found
him in Glamorgan but wasn`t sure as he was a lodger. But to my great
delight I have found him again (after a fortune spent on 1911) and with
a family this time. He is living in Gurnos Cottages, Lower Cwmtwrch and
he is a railwayman. His wife is Eliza and his children (patronimically
named) are Ethel Maria age 4 and Norah Esther age 2.
So, firstly,
is anyone here familiar with the area of Lower Cwmtwrch in the early
1900`s and secondly is there a remote chance that someone knows or is
researching this family?
I am presently looking for possible
marriages for the two girls and also looking for additions to the
family but with the name ROBERTS there`s not much chance unless they
did stay in the village and there are some parish records that can be
looked up (hint!)
Can anyone assist? Apologies for cross posting to the Glamorgan list.
