Elinor,
Have a look at
http://www.swanseahistoryweb.org.uk/
Swansea Museum have produced a number of inexpensive factsheets on local
history (around £1). Factsheets 5,6,7 and 11 are about copperworks and
coppermen.
Treboeth is in Llangyfelach, not Llansamlet. I believe the Glam FHS are
currently transcribing the 1861 and 1871 censuses.
Regards, Peter
