Hi Liz
do you know any more about him apart from the trade directory entry in 1811 - when he was born, or when he died?

Hi
dont know much about him he was born in 1772 Coity glamorgan and married Sarah Bowen in 1805. their son thomas is my 2 x great grandfather.
I am trying to find out more about him .
He is noted as being a tailor on his sons marriage certificate.
I was just hoping that trade directories of the area might show him, but didn't know where to start.
any help is appreciated
cheers
