« on: Monday 02 August 10 07:02 BST (UK)  »
Hi...Have decided to take the 'back road route' in trying to trace lost family in Swansea.I am looking for decendants of William Morgan(Boilermaker) born1852,Swansea & Elizabeth Jones born 1854 Swansea..On 1881/1891 census, family lived at Tudor Court, Swansea and Watkins St, Swansea(Townhill area?)..1901/1911 shows half the family in Cardiff while other members married and stayed in Swansea..Children of William &Elizabeth were Mary 1872,Carrie1874,Kate1877,Madeline1878(my GGrandmother)Alice Ann 1880,Susannah 1885,William1888,Charles1891,Beatrice1893, all born in Swansea...I know details of Carrie,Madeline and Susannah as these girls married and lived in Cardiff...and I know Kate married Thomas Lewis in Swansea in 1897 and lived at Byron Crescent,Swansea on 1911 census..Beatrice also shows in 1911 living in Cardiff with her widowed mother Elizabeth..Elizabeth had 15 children in all and 9 survived...I have been trying to research this family for so long but with surnames likes Morgan/Jones it does seem nigh on impossible..I would love to know more about William and Elizabeth and decendants of their children who stayed in Swansea...Any help will be greatly recieved. Many Thanx...Nicmatt

Europe / Elusive Norweigan GGgrandfather....
« on: Thursday 13 August 09 09:12 BST (UK)  »
Hi,Can anyone point me in the right direction looking for my Norweigan gggrandfather  Otto Melin a mariner........I have a copy of his marriage cert from Ireland where he married one Honorah Coleman in 1875. I can trace him and Honorah forward from Ireland to Wales and the family that decended from them,but would love to know about Otto....On 1881/1891/1901 Wales census he was born  c.1853 in Tonsberg Vestfold Norway,and was a British Subject ....the marr cert just gives his father as 'Otto Melin' too.......However I feel that this may not have been the correct spelling of the surname! It later got 'changed' to Melean...which has stayed thru the years..As Otto married an Irish girl would he still have had to have been 'naturalized'???(My other gggrandfather from Italy did even tho he married a English girl) I have some info from previous requests in which Otto states that his mother was'Hannah Janesen'....i have scoured numerous avenues online but all to no avail....Please.. would anyone  know how I can start taking this  brick wall down...many thanks.....
