What road is this in Aberystwyth, Cardiganshire (today Ceredigion)?
« on: Sunday 31 August 14 12:52 BST (UK) »
A marriage certificate gives a current residence as Aberystwyth but I can't read the road name.
Can anyone help me out?

PenyCa**e Road?

I was thinking that too having thought about it. I know Aberystwyth a little but not a lot.
I am struggling to find the person there in the 1891 census.

The marriage was Nov and the census in Apr so she's likely to be there.
Can anyone find Jane Rees in Aberystwyth in 1891? She must be unmarried and her father must either be absent, deceased or present named David.

Year of birth or age on mc would be helpful, too many pages in Aberystwyth 1891 census to trawl through

It's Penglais Road which is the main road leaving Aberystwyth to the north.   On this road are located Aberystwyth Hospital, entrance to the National Library of Wales and Aberystwyth University.

Thanks for the interest guys.

I think Penglais is the best bet too, thank you!

Later census give her birth date as ~1863 and places include Talybont/Aberystywth/Cardigan.
