Title: WERN Rd TALBOT Butcher? S.Wales / Monmouthshire Wern Road Pontypool
Post by: 001uk on Thursday 29 September 16 20:30 BST (UK)
Hello!

Any ideas please as to the location of

WERN Road. Shop name TALBOT (Butcher)? South Wales  /  Monmouthshire

Wern Road at end of brick/stone terraced row of houses on steep incline. The name TALBOT above the door. Sign in window probably reads (Cant)ERBURY (La)MB so more than likely a Butchers shop!
Shop on opposite corner has in window "Umbrellas and ? made. Repaired  ? Speciality"

I'm convinced this is South Wales or  Monmouthshire

With thanks~001uk

Hi in 1901 Wern Road brings up Llanelly Monmouthshire or Llanquick Glamorganshire.

I can't see it in 1901 either at the moment??    Was purely looking at the appearance which does seem similar

Marriage - 1902

Always possible the building didn't exist in 1901

Thank you Kay99 for confirming my thoughts re area location - especially with the image. I couldn't track down the actual Wern Road involved. Grateful to others who chipped in

1911 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KCTP-1Q4

The best fit on 1901 to this place of birth is a Frederick Talbot in Worcester born "Marchfield"  He is a stocktaker and comptroller
