Looking for assistance with the Residence at Time of Marriage Street Name written on the attached 1865 Marriage Certificate for my ancestor John Lewis. I have looked at Cardiff Street Names, could not see any matches. I have also checked the listings of Cardiff Street Names that have changed over the years; again no matches. Thought it may read - Ebenezer?? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat :D
There is an Ebenezer Street in Cardiff in the 1871 census. It may be worth checking later census records to see if it is still there.
-
That street still exists in the 1939 Register.
-
Ebenezer Street was demolished in the 1970's to make way for the St David's Centre.

A very warm welcome /croeso cynnes to Rootschat.
