I wonder if someone with local Swansea knowledge can help me with this please?
I have recently recieved what I think is the right Death Cert for my Great Grandfather Evan Rees, - but I am confused about the address on the Cert...
On the 1891/1901 and 1911 Censuses, Evan and Margaret Rees were living at No 1, Brynforgan Terrace, Ynysforgan. On the Death Cert, Evan Rees's death is shown as having happened on the 10th August 1927, aged 90yrs. (This fits, as his birth date is given as 1837/8 on the Censuses). However, his address at the time of his death is given as 'Bryn Morgan House, Ynysforgan'. The informant is his son George Rees, whose address is given as 43 High Street, Clydach.
Are No 1 Brynforgan Terrace and Bryn Morgan House one and the same? Or is this the wrong Death Cert, for another Evan Rees? (Who also worked in the Copperworks?).

Mystery solved... ;)
A closer re-reading of my G/Grandfather's Original Transcript page...shows that he lived at 'Brynforgan House'. (See attached).
It was there all of the time! I just couldn't see it for looking ;D ;D
