Family History Beginners Board / Re: aber house Nantymoel .( Llandyfodwg)
« on: Thursday 17 December 20 21:32 GMT (UK)  »
Hello . monkeyman  .I started this thread a few years ago and am still not much the wiser . I went to Nantymoel in 2019  ,called in the library there  . The  librarian pointed out the house and  told me that there is a family living there .It  is on Aber Road as Chairperson said .  But I see you have said Carephilly   :-\ That is a good distance from Nantymoel and I am uncertain if I had the right place  .Is there another Aber House . :-\  To add to my confusion my great grandfathers birth certificate  says  his mother was a domestic servant at  Aber House Port Talbot  .  I enquired in Port Talbot  but they did not know of such a place there  .In my original post  I mentioned Morgan children being born there  ,but checking out their baptisms the addresses are different  . Any ideas  are wlcomed .

The Aber houses was a street of houses built for the colliery workers and their families .
As far as I know Elizabeth Thomas  isn't related to the Morgan family  but may have been employed  by them as  according to my great grandfathers  birth certificate  she was a domestic servant  there when he was born in1879. Servants are listed on the  census  but the next census is 1881 and  I cannot find Aber House on there,  or on the 1871 census . Elizabeth was  a Thomas before marriage  and  did marry  a George Thomas  in 1883.
 My great grandfather s birth certificate gives his fathers name as Alfred John Huxtable  but he  was Baptised as Alfred John Thomas  the name he always used

Hello . I am trying to find out who would have been in Aber House  in 1878-1879 According to my great grandfathers birth certificate   his mother was a domestic servant there  . I have found  records of  a Morgan family . Children listed as being born there   but cannot find it on the 1881 census 
Thomas Stubbs Morgan
Born 14th Dec 1880 Aber House . Nantymoel Wales
Died 15th Aug 1968 cowra , Australia

Sarah Jane Morgan
Born 1st March 1882 Aber House Nantymoel.
Died 1939 N.S. W. Australia

Alice Elizabeth Morgan
Born23rd May 1884 Aber House Nantymoel Wales
Died 20h July 1955 Australia
 I also found an obituary for a David  Jones   who died there in 1880.
I have  had information that Aber House was a Colliery Managers house  .so it would have different occupants  as the managers changed 
My great grandfather's mother was Elizabeth Thomas  (unmarried  when he was born )In 1881 she was with her parents in coity .

It's a shame about the map . I have contacted Bridgend council  (,burial  officer ) and they have given me the row numbers  so I can count it out .

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / nantyffyllon girls school Davies or Jones about 1908
« on: Tuesday 26 May 15 18:12 BST (UK)  »
Hello . I was sent here by a link from Genes Reunited . Looking for a school record  for  Rose Esther Davies or Rose Esther Jones   in Nantyffyllon girls school . She was born  Nov 27 1903  ( so  would have been at school   about 1908)  .
Genes  reunited  found one record for  a Rose Esther jones in Plasnewydd in 1912 but the birth date   is different  . I have a 1911 census with her and her mother  and stepfather  in the Rhondda. but don't know if she moved back and forth to Maesteg . as I know she was adopted by the Jones  , but don't know when .
