You're welcome :)

Another snippet - the Western Mail of 3 September 1915 records the acquittal of a William Sheehy of Aberavon on a charge of cruelty to a pony by driving it in an unfit state.  The owner, a greengrocer named Cornelius Williams, was convicted.

The William Sheehy referred to in the 1915 report about the pony is referred to in one place as "the lad Sheehy" so may well be the son William Patrick Sheehy, born in 1900.

Alice, one of William and Maria’s daughters, married my Great Uncle, and I am just looking at her background. I had failed to find her in 1891, so this is useful, thank you . Maria and children were in Swansea Workhouse in 1898, self-admitted, no William.
