I didn't find the names I was looking for in this but I have kept it for future reference and I'm very grateful to you for sending it. I'm pretty sure my great grandparents lived in Edward Street at some point. Might have been someone else but it's bound to come in useful sometime. Could you tell me the source for the list please? It it ok to share it with a Cardiff Group on FB? I won't if you'd rather I didn't.

Thanks again

Helen
