Glamorganshire / Doris Williams Orphaned Swansea area
« on: Monday 15 June 09 12:43 BST (UK) »
Hi All
Was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction please?!
My husbands great grandmother, Doris Williams, was orphaned, along with her sister Vida. I think Doris was born in 1901, she married William Fraser in 1924 in Swansea.
I know that the family has never strayed far from Morriston, Mumbles and surrounding area's
According to my mother in law, Doris was brought up in an orphanage 'somewhere in Swansea', which is not very helpful. Nazareth house has been mentioned but I'm not sure if that was the name back in the early 1900's or if that's the name now?
Mother in law is very vague and seems to say different things everytime I broach the subject.
Sadly there is no-one else left in the family that would know anymore.
Any names of Swansea and surrounding area orphanages would be a great help please so I could start a search somewhere!!
Thank you in advance for any info you can give
