« on: Tuesday 11 February 20 19:59 GMT (UK)  »


I was wondering if anyone could give me any information on the photographer who took this photograph? It's of a family which are of no relation to me but I would be interested to know more about who took it and when.

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Trying to find William H Hillman in census records
« on: Tuesday 27 December 16 19:22 GMT (UK)  »
I'm researching a family tree for a friend and have hit a brick wall with her great grandfather William H Hillman. I know that he lived in Barry South Wales from 1901 onwards but can't seem to find him anywhere before that. The 1901 census says that he was born in 1873 but the 1911 census gives his date of birth as 1882. Both records give his place of birth as Hull Yorkshire but I can't seem to find him there. I did however find another William H Hillman who lived in Hull on the 1891 census who seems like a possible candidate for his father. He was born in Bristol in 1839 and seems to be married to an Elizabeth. I did also find him on the 1871 census living with Elizabeth in London but as that was on ancestry I could not look at the record. I tried to find the record on find my past but had no luck. I haven't had luck on any of the other censuses so if anyone could help me that would be really great.

Thanks Carys

Glamorganshire / Unknown person possibly from Glamorgan
« on: Friday 28 October 16 14:48 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I found this photo amongst other items in a scrapbook belonging to a Davine Sinclair who lived in Barry during the early 1900's. The only thing I know about the photo is that the man's name is Gordon and that it was given to Davine in 1921. I would like to find out who he was so I can do some research.

Any information would be very appreciated.

Glamorganshire / Michael Lyons 1893
« on: Wednesday 25 May 16 12:51 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to trace the family of Michael Lyons born in 1893 but am having no luck. I know that he got married in 1921 in Cardiff aged 26 but can't seem to get any further back from that. His marriage certificate states that his father was a Patrick Lyons who was a labourer but where he was from I don't know. I have assumed that Michael came from Cardiff and I did find a birth record for one born in the June quarter of 1893 which matches with the birth year that he gave on the 1939 register but couldn't find him anywhere on census records. I did however find a  World War One naval record for a Michael Lyons in Cardiff who was born in June 1894 and I think this may be the person that I am looking for but the record isn't much help as his next of kin is listed as a friend called Mrs Turkington who lived in Montreal, Canada.

If anyone can help me in my search I would be very grateful.
Thanks Carys

Glamorganshire / St Gwynno's church cemetery record
« on: Wednesday 06 January 16 20:58 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,

Can anyone help me in finding burial records for St Gwynno's church in Llanwonno?
I am trying to find the burial place of my 3x great grandfather John Thomas and I think he may be buried there as he lived in Llanwonno. I am unsure as to exactly when he died although I do know that it would have been between 1901 and 1911 as he appears on the 1901 census but not 1911.

Any help would be very appreciated

Thanks Carys Jenkins
