Hi


I have found out that my grandfather, David Thomas Davies, was baptised in the parish of Llansamlet in 1912.  I was wondering  how I can find out at which church he was baptised; there are several in the Llansamlet parish.  Records show he was baptised by the curate WG Jenkins. 
Many thanks,
Nicola

Hi

I have encountered a problem looking for my Leswisse ancesters from Swansea in the 1911 census.  There were quite a few of them, but can only find one of the sons listed.  My g. grandmother, Hannah Leswisse and her sisters and other brothers seem to have disappeared. 

 Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Nicola

Hi

Hope someone can help!  I have just found my g.g. grandfather, Albert Milner and two of his daughters on the 1891 census for Swindon.  Totally confused as to why he is there as his wife and the rest of the children are at their home address in Stroud.  However, what I am wondering is if anyone can help explain their address.

It is  Newport Street Coffee Palace.  Albert is down as a Farmer, coffee palace keeper and one of his daughters as lodge assistant. 

Does anyone know what a coffee palace was and/or what a coffee palace keeper would have done?

This is a new one on me, so any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi

Just wondering, I have a death certificate from 1938 which states cause of death as ' . . . poisoning - did kill himself while of unsound mind'.

Just wondering if anyone knows if all suicides at this time where deemed to be by someone of 'unsound mind' or if this person really was . . .well, unsound!

Thanks for any help

Hi all

I recently posted asking for help with researching a Mr Niblett who became Mayor of Swindon.  I now know his name was

Harry Edwin Newton Niblett and he was Mayor in 1937 - 38.

Ju from the Wiltshire site found the following entry in the 1881 census and now I am hoping that someone can find him in the 1881 and 1891 for me.

Details are below: -

Hi Nicola!

I'm not sure if this will help much, but I think I may have found Harry on the
1881 Census.....

Hi Nicola!

Dwelling:             No 3 Cambridge St
Census Place:      Gloucester, Barton St Mary
PRO Ref:             RG11
Piece/Folio:         2537/37
Page No:             21

Edwin Niblett         Head             M     Male        37     Gloucester      Architect
Mary E. Niblett       Wife             M     Female     38     Coleford, Glos
Harry E. Niblett      Son                      Male        9      Gloucester      Scholar
Charles L. Niblett    Son                     Male         8      Gloucester      Scholar
Dora Niblett           Dau                     Female      6      Gloucester      Scholar
Edith Niblett          Dau                     Female      4      Gloucester      Scholar
Howard Niblett       Son                     Male         2      Gloucester

Katherine Martin    Sister-in-Law   U     Female     28    Hereford         Governess (TR)

FreeBMD shows that the birth of Harry Edwin R Niblett was registered in the
district of Gloucester in the Qtr to Dec 1871.

By 1881, he would of course be 19/20 years old, possibly not still living with parents.  What I am really trying to find out is when he got married and to whom.  Persumably a Miss Milliner, probably of Hawthorn house Littleworth.

Any help woth this would be appreciated

Thanks

Nicola
