Hi Lizzie

Thanks for your message. I have got no further since my post on Samuel Adams beyond the information in your post. When he left the army in Portsmouth he moved to Penarth Vale of Glamorgan by Cardiff. It was here in the local cement works where he fell to his death.

The problem with finding any further information like a birth certificate etc is I suspect Samuel
 Adams was nor the name he was born with.

Anything you can find would be fantastic as this brick wall does not want to come down

Thanks again for taking an interest

Have you tried contacting the Welsh Regiment Museum in Brecon who may hold the records you are looking for or if not will be able to advise you.

Glamorganshire / Re: Dock Road Penarth has disappeared!!
« on: Sunday 20 February 22 17:19 GMT (UK)  »
Many thanks for your quick reply to my query and the information you provided. I see the road is now called Paget Road so maybe they re-named it after the docks closed down.

Glamorganshire / Dock Road Penarth has disappeared!!
« on: Sunday 20 February 22 13:54 GMT (UK)  »
I have a 1900 marriage certificate that gives the Grooms address as Dock Road Penarth. This road is no longer shown on Penarth maps. The 1901 census has the location close to Paget Terrace which is still there. I am guessing that Dock Road has been renamed? Anyone have access to old street maps of Penarth around 1900?
**Not to be confused with the current Dock Street which is in the Cogan area of Penarth a couple of miles away

The Common Room / What relation are they
« on: Wednesday 15 December 21 22:15 GMT (UK)  »
If person 'A" father and person"B" Great grandfather are brothers what relation is person "A" to Person "B". I presume cousins but 2nd, 3rd, 4th and I do not understand 'once removed" etc means.

Any help gratefully received.

Australia / Re: Henry Swinson English Surgeon: NSW Australia
« on: Sunday 31 October 21 08:54 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you for the information you have sent me. I have been researching the Swinson family for some years now and have taken my research back to a marriage of a Joseph Swinson grandfather of Henry 1799-1900. I can find no living descendants in the UK hence my search in Australia so as I can return the photo of Henry to his family.

Australia / Henry Swinson English Surgeon: NSW Australia

I am looking for descendants of Henry Swinson born 1800 in Bromsgrove England. He was the son of George Swinson, both being eminent surgeons. I would like to forward on a photo I have of Henry to any living relatives. I understand the family moved to Australia and lived in Bowral Western Australia.
