Sorry, yes. Their father Richard was steward to Lord Kensington in London and then moved to South Wales, settling eventually in Saundersfoot.

Glamorganshire / Records for sailors
« on: Friday 01 September 23 13:42 BST (UK) »
My great-grandmother's brothers were in the merchant navy. William was born 1831 Laugharne and George 1834 Llandawke. I lost track of them both after 1851 but recently found William getting married to a Maria Davis (she was then a widow named Chewings) in Cardiff in 1856. William, George and Maria are not to be found (at least by me) on the 1861 or subsequent censuses. I can't find them on local sailing records or emigration data. Deaths at sea is one I haven't checked. Is there such a record? Any ideas welcome.

Staffordshire / Re: MARRIAGE AT KINVER

Very interesting. Thank you. I didn't know about Esther who, it would appear, was christened in 1805 in Norwich. A bit far away! Plenty of digging for me to do there.

Staffordshire / MARRIAGE AT KINVER
« on: Tuesday 18 July 23 15:38 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have access to the marriage at St. Peter's, Kinver on 26th August 1822 between William Collins and Lydia Linnecar. I'm wondering if there are any more clues on the original record.

Glamorganshire / Re: Any Information on the family Jacob and Catherine Cohen, Wales, Swansea

I have an article on www.neathantiquariansociety.co.uk on the Jews of Neath. If you look down the side panel you will see 'articles of members'. Trawl through there and you will see the article in which there is reference to Jacob and his family. If you can add anything to what I have written then of course I would be delighted to hear from you.

Glamorganshire Lookup Requests / Re: RICHARD BARTLETT
« on: Tuesday 11 October 22 14:08 BST (UK) »
Richard Bartlett owned the 'garden' where Library Road, Neath and the houses along it are today. I believe part of his 'garden' is now in Victoria Gardens. If you have any info on his exact address in London Road or a plan showing what he owned, I would be delighted to hear from you. I am currently researching Victoria Gardens before it became Victoria Gardens.

Well before the Suttons the remarkable octogenarian, William Jeavons lived there. He had a business in Liverpool and was partner in the Cwmgwrach Ironworks. Whilst living at Glynleiros he lost three daughters to an influenza epidemic. A year later another resident died from cholera.
