Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: What to do now
« on: Monday 23 May 05 04:59 BST (UK)  »

It would be nice if you could be sure that the ages were accurate on the census.
I know from doing other searches that they often are not.  One relative  I was researching was 14 in 1871,  26 in 1881 and 1891  she was 28. 
There are at least four Jane Jones between the ages of 18 and 20 born in Merthyr Tydfil and working as servants on the 1881 census besides the one you found.
 
I have taken a look at the 1871 census and I did found a Jane Jones born in Dowlais living with her father Thomas Jones.  Just don't know  how to make sure I have the right family. 

But thank you for your help, Caroline . I hadn't noticed that Jane Jones.  Will have to take a closer look at that one.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Philip Philips Glamorgan
« on: Sunday 22 May 05 00:53 BST (UK)  »
I found Jane Jones married to Philip Phillips living with their children  in Glamorgan in the 1891 census.  She was 28 and her birthplace was listed as Dowlais.

I ordered the marriage certificate and found that she  married Philip Phillips April 23, 1883 at the Porth Independant Chapel in Pontypridd. Jane's age was 20.  Her father is listed as Thomas Jones - labourer.

I can't find a Jane Jones born in Dowlais  living with a Thomas Jones in the 1881 census.

Just not too sure what I should do next to track down Jane's parents.
 Any help would be appreciated.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / 1901 Census lookup - Glamorgan

Greetings from Canada

What a great site! Can't tell you how happy I was to stumble onto it.

I  think have found my husband's grandparents and their families  in the 1901 census but I just need confirmation that I have the right people for each family.
 
The only information that I have  for sure is that Arthur Thomas Phillips was born in December 1892 in Pontypridd   and his parents were Philip Phillips and Jane Jones.  Kathleen Kate Gillard was born in March 1893 in Pontypridd and her parents were Henry Gillard and Emily Chislett.  Arthur and Kate married and moved to Canada. I know the names of the children in the families so after looking at the 1901 census I have come up with the following.


Henry Gillard 46  Somerset S Petherton  Glamorganshire Ystradyfodwg
Emily Gillard  43 Somerset S Petherton  Glamorganshire Ystradyfodwg
Fred Gillard 15 Somerset S Petherton  Glamorganshire Ystradyfodwg
Arthur Gillard 13 Somerset S Petherton  Glamorganshire Ystradyfodwg
Minnie Gillard  11 Somerset S Petherton  Glamorganshire Ystradyfodwg
I can't find Kathleen on the census. There was another son George but can't find a match that fits.


Philip Phillips 37 Glamorgan Dowlais   Glamorganshire   Merthyr Tydfil   Coal Miner Hewer
Jane Phillips 38   Glamorgan Dowlais   Glamorgan   Ystradyfodwg
Olivia  10  Glamorgan Ystradyfodwg   Glamorgan   Ystradyfodwg
Sarah  13 Glamorgan Ynyshir                 Glamorgan                    Ystradyfodwg
Arthur  8 Glamorgan Ystradyfodwg   Glamorgan   Ystradyfodwg
Handel 6 Glamorgan Ystradyfodwg   Glamorgan   Ystradyfodwg
Margaret 11 Glamorgan Pentre   Glamorganshire   Ystradyfodwg
John 5 Glamorgan Ystradyfodwg   Glamorganshire   Ystradyfodwg
Thanks for any help you can give me
