Glamorganshire / Re: Thomas Jones Tailor born c1807 - Aberavon
« on: Wednesday 12 January 22 07:44 GMT (UK)  »
Yes I have seen possible baptisms and that marriage. I am inclined to think the marriage is correct. If only I could read that 1851 census. The birth place looks like Llannon to me but I can’t find any connections. I know we should not assume but if he is a tailor in aberavon, maybe his father was a tailor?  I can’t one of them in the areas in Carmarthenshire either though.
I know his wife’s maiden name was also Jones. It looks like she died before 1861 too, which is a shame because a census with her in it the birth place may have been clearer. They had a deaf and dumb daughter and by 1861 she was living with her sister so I assume her mother had died by then
Any advice to think outside the box welcome

Glamorganshire / Thomas Jones Tailor born c1807 - Aberavon

Hello, I am researching Thomas Jones Tailor born c1807
He was in Aberavon in 1841 at Westgate Row and at Water Street in 1851
It looks as if he was born Llannon? but the 1851 Census is illegible.
Can anyone help with his parents, Place of birth etc
Thank you

Hi everyone,
I have an ancestor whose rank was reduced due to misconduct on 16 Dec 1915.
The reason code is REA/161 B2
Is anyone familiar with these codes and knows what the reason may be

This was a very interesting read too
http://www.glen-johnson.co.uk/coedmore-mansion/
Thomas Lloyd of Coedmore was described as
notorious in a free-and-easy age and society for the number of his bastards, several of whom, when they grew up, served their father in a domestic capacity at Coedmore. He is said once to have shocked a rather particular judge at the Assizes by playfully pointing out to him that the coachman who was driving him and the footman in attendance were some of these illegitimate hopefuls. He was, however, reckoned generous towards a succession of mistresses, for he granted them all small farms or holdings on the Coedmore estate on long leases at low or nominal rents. His own sons born in wedlock did not fare so well. In order to be spared the trouble and expense of keeping and educating them, the three young Lloyds were put out to walk, like foxhound puppies, on the outlying farms, and it was only after much entreaty from a neighbour that the eldest son and heir was at last sent to school at Rugby and later was allowed to read for the Bar…

thank you for that information.
I have asked the Ceredigion Archives if they have the original Baptism record, if so, they may be able to decipher the residence of Thomas Loyd.
It's interesting you mention Cilrhiw as it is in the same area as Llandysiliogogo
