Glamorganshire / Registration District for Llandore, Morriston, Gorseinon and/or Treboeth
« on: Wednesday 13 March 24 09:10 GMT (UK) »
I have been trying to find the birth record for my great grandfather John Thomas for many years and I have no idea of his mother's maiden name. I have just seen the 1921 Census on FindMyPast and it states that he was born in Treboeth and he was 60 years and 8 months old at the time - the census date was 19 June 1921. I think that implies that his birth should have been registered in the 4th quarter 1860. There are varying claims in different census for his place of birth namely Llandore, Morriston, Gorseinon and Treboeth but I thought these would all be in the Swansea registration district. On checking the GRO, there was no birth record for a John Thomas in Swansea in the 4th quarter. There were however 6 records in the first quarter 1861. Can anyone please confirm that Swansea would be the correct registration district before I invest in ordering birth certificates? Or can anyone suggest an alternate strategy to try and pin him down?
Any suggestions or assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
