Hello
Can someone please do a look-up on the Aberdare 1881 census for the residents at Aberaman House. I have a copy of the page (RG 11/5324) with the details for Charles Taylor, 22, undergardener, born Wareham, Dorsetshire and the other undergardeners etc, but unfortunately I forgot to collect the previous page to show who was in residence as Head of the household.
I would appreciate details. Thanks
Regards

Hi Roy,
The previous page is for houses in Forge Row. The only entries for Aberaman House are the ones above Charles Taylor on the same page - Elizabeth Jenkins and Mary Elizabeth James, both servants.

Hello Deidre and Rosie
I was hoping to find George Elliot, colliery owner in residence. Fred, one of the undergardeners is the son of George's niece whom I have located on the 1881 with all her children except for young Fred. Aberaman House appears to be a big property and again I was hoping to find the owner at home.
Regards, Roy

Hi Keyboard
Yes he was a son of George Elliot, was he at Aberaman House?

Hi Roy, no he was a boarder at Aberffrwd Villa, Aberdare.

Roy, do you have any details on George, age, where born etc. Quite a few George Elliot's in 1881 but none described as colliery owner.

George Elliot born 18 March 1814, died 23 December 1893
In 1882 he purchased land in Aberamman as a gift in memory of his wife and daughter Elizabeth. Work commenced on the construction of St Margaret’s Church and it was completed in 1883. Having said that with his political interests and his global businesses ther are reports of him travelling a lot. He was also the owner of more than one family home so it is likely he only stayed at Aberaman House when in Wales.

Hi Rosie
Yes, that's the man, he really did get about; I read yesterday apart from the coal mines in Aberdare and the Rhymney Valley he also had mines in Canada. His business was truly global so it is no wonder he is hard to find in 1881, he could have been out of the country.

Hi Roy your right George is hard to find ... 1882 he was living 6.Castletown Road South Kensington S W
