Whitewabbit,
re earlier post, it's Frederick's sausage skin making business that's near the Cattle Market in Dyvatty St. The Smithfield is at the corner of Graig St and Dyfatty St.

Thanks for all your help guys - If any of you do manage to track down a picture of the place I would love to see it. Meantime, I'm sure I will have some new questions about the relatives later on.

Images from The Cambrian sent, others to follow (hopefully) next week

Thanks for that - Very interesting and slightly amusing to see some of the articles. Sounds like my Great Grandfather had a bit of a rouch pub. I still haven't managed to track down any photographs which is a shame.

Have 2 further items from the Cambrian 1879. Couldn't take image/print so had to transcribe the articles.

will e.mail shortly

Have copies of Frederick's  and Carl Oscar's marriage certificates + info from Swansea Trade Directories pre and post WW1.

Will be in touch

Thanks - Look forward to seeing it. I assume Oscar was Arnold Roths father. There is a bit of a gap around that whole area of my family. The Grandfather, Arnold only refered to him as Dad in any of his diaries so I'm not sure.
