One of my families being researched resided in Greenhill, in Emma Street.  Street no longer exists.   There are very few resources on the web regarding this district however I recently discovered a web site that promises maps in the near future:-

There is a very useful section on Greenhill in Norman L Thomas' book 'The History of Swansea's districts and villages'.  An autobiography 'Swansea Girl' makes reference to the district.

Emma Street is referred to in the Swansea Cholera reports.

I am not researching but have personal knowledge and some records. Come back if you feel I can help.

I have two interesting books on the Greenhill area and as my Irish ancestors settled there I have knowledge on this area. If that is any help to you?
