Burry Port help please
« on: Wednesday 22 July 09 09:21 UTC (UK) »
I'm having real trouble finding details of my Grandmothers birthplace etc. I have her original marriage cert that shows she married from 17 Pemberton Ave Burry Port in1915. As she lived in South England most of her life I don't know if she was Welsh. She married my Grandfather who was born & brought up in Surrey.
  Her name was Alice Carter b 1891 & I wondered if there was any way of looking at the 1915 electoral Roll to see if the whole Carter family lived here? Her Father is named as Robert(deceased) & was a carpenter.
  Really stuck on this & would appreciate any help, her life was a bit of a mystery to my mother as well !
Regards
Brenda

Hi Tamebury
   I have come across this census before & it looks a good possibility but I have no more details about the Carter family unfortunately- its a complete mystery.I know my Grandfather -Albert Parker used to travel to Wales with his work so can only assume he met her there. I have their childrens details but as they were born in south London I don't think it would be much help. An electoral record of Pemberton Ave in 1915 is the only way I can think of for more detail of births etc.  Really stuck!!

The Robert Carter in Pontypridd died in 1906 he had married Alice Parry in 1890 so this ties in with your dates. Also a strange thing is there is no no 17 pemberton avenue on 1911 census, there is a 16 and 18
