Glamorganshire / Pontlottyn burial inquiry
« on: Monday 27 August 18 18:25 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am trying to find where my grandmother’s grandfather was buried. I have found his burial record:

“Burials in the Parish of St Tyfaelog, Pontlottyn in the County of Glamorgan in the year 1896

Edward Owen 15 Victoria St Pontlottyn 45 yrs July 23”

I’ve read elsewhere on this forum that St Tyfaelog’s does not have a cemetery.  If anyone can point me in the right direction to get this information, I’d appreciate it. 

Thanks, Ann

Glamorganshire Completed Lookups / Mary Jane Owens of Brithdir
« on: Thursday 08 September 11 12:55 BST (UK)  »
Hello - my great grandmother was Mary Jane Owens. She married a German immigrant, Hermann Hanning, and they had three daughters, Rosine, Jennie and Hermine.

My grandmother, Jane/Jennie, was born in Brithdir in 1909. According to the 1901 census, Mary Jane, her mother and brothers lived at 14 Victoria Street.

Mary Jane and the girls emigrated to Canada in 1914 and crossed the border into the US in 1916. The border crossing record shows their previous address as (I think - it's hard to read) 15 Victoria St, Pontlottyn.

Have been unable to locate Victoria St on maps of Brithdir - can anyone tell me if it has been renamed? Also if anyone has info to share regarding this particular Owens family, the history of Brithdir, or why a 16 year old German teenager might end up there (he was a miner, of course) - I would be most grateful.
