[rubygemstone]

Hi,
  Can anyone help, is there anyone who is connected to Elijah Dobson 1877 Hungerford Berkshire and Sarah Ann Lewis 1879 Tonypandy, pontypridd, Glamorgan. They had my grandad Harry Dobson

I know he had more brother's and sister's but i'm looking for any family connection's, due to the lose of my mom and without knowing anymore info.

        Kind Regards

Hi Ruby,

I have burial info of your people who are buried Trealaw cemetery, if you need this let me know.  You can get internment records from Treorchy family ref library with the burial numbers, which can give address at death. 

I have used this to trace my family with the electrol roll at same library via email.  You maybe able to find additional family of your grandad via electrol to help find living contacts etc.  The more you know the more likely you possibly will contact others.

The area on the 1901 census Elijah and Sarah are living is 202 Court Street, Tonypandy, Ystradyfodwg or now know as the Rhondda Valley.  This is about 4/5 miles from Pontypridd.  Pontypridd was the reg disrict for the area.

Here is the burial info all in same plot

Burial 31858 Dobson Sarah Ann age 43 died 1922 Plot M284
Burial 48402 Gleeson Sarah Ann age 2 died 1942 Plot M284

Internment info from Treorchy library (google for addie) family history contact is Anthony Pritchard

There are half a page of Dobsons listed.  Vicky (rootschat member) will take photo's of headstones, if you are happy they are your great grandparents.  Think Sarah Ann Gleeson could be a grandchild?

Just put in Treorchy library into google the second hit down is direct for Anthony.

In 1901 they are living with a 'Brittain family'  121 Dunraven Street is a stonethrow from Court street, and he was born 6yrs later....  Dunraven is the main street in Tonypandy.  the library holds electrol info from 1918.

Just put 'Rhondda cynon taff photographic archive' into google for photos of the area.

Can only give you the info I have...
