T C Arnold Ystalyfera

[Steve 33]

Please can someone help me to find info on T C Arnold Ironmongers Clare St Ystalyfera. I know that T C Arnold went to the Muller Orphan Houses in bristol in 1907 and he brought back a boy called Francis J Snell he was 14 maybe to train as a assistant but I can't find out any more then that. As I need info on Francis as well after 1907

Thanks
Steve

Another poss. Deaths Jun 1898  Snell  Annie  29  Keynsham  5c 371 (or possibly Annie M king..see next post)

Above (if correct) would have mothered Francis 1893 & William 1896, but this is assumption from census evidence, to confirm certs are needed.

Hope this helps

   Hello Cas and Steve, sorry I havn`t got any information on FRANCIS J SNELL but, TIMOTHY CANTY ARNOLD is in  my family tree if I can help with him, MARG,,,

[Steve 33]

Thank you very much Cas, What a lot of info looks like you are spot on.

Steve

Hi Steve hope you don't mind my curiosity, but wondering your relationship to Francis Snell b 1893

Have checked 1891 for the family that Clara is with 1901, and it is not the one listed as possible marriage to John Snell 1892.  Mother...A M King is there, so it looks like both parents died previous to 1901 that is why children are in orphanage. 

Possibly T C Arnold, had his family grow up, move away, and he wanted to give a somebody a home, cannot see a family connection.

Any background info to work on, other than posted?
