I think that it depends on which census. As it happens, I'm most interested in 1881.

Definitely Brea*h Groave, most likely Breach Groave. See the same letters used elsewhere in the text. :-)

Wales / Please help me hunt this chap in 1881
« on: Saturday 09 May 20 09:43 BST (UK) »
Hi all, I have a disappearing ancestor and I'm looking for him in 1881.
Thomas Edward Williams
13 Mar 1869 - born in Aberystwyth
1871 - Living in Aberystwyth with his Mam
1891 - Lodging in Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
1891 - Married in Bangor to Jane Rees
Thomas' Mam was Susannah Griffiths b.1845. His Dad was Edward Williams b.1843, Mariner.
Between 1871 and 1891 Thomas became a Baptist Minister and will have had to train in a Baptist Union college to do so. There are a few colleges about the country but can't seem to find him anywhere.

Hi Everyone!
Are any of you geniuses aware of the best ways to search for a particular ship in the census? I have mariners I'm struggling to keep track of and wonder about tracing their ships instead.
Thanks!
Hywel

The Common Room / Batstone in Wales, America, South Africa and Germany?
« on: Monday 29 April 19 23:01 BST (UK) »
Hi all, I'm looking for more info on this fella if you can help me? I have some data on his time in UK but cant find anything about his time abroad...
Albert Edward Batstone
Born in 1915 in Cardiff to James J Batstone and Emily (Roberts).
He married Marjorie N Botherton in Cardiff in 1940.
He disappears.
Marjorie remarried in 1972.
Family lore maintained that he divorced Marjorie and moved to America and South Africa before dying in Germany.
I know no facts about his time outside of the UK, can any of you help?

The Common Room / Lord W Hamilton Family Tree
« on: Wednesday 27 February 19 00:01 GMT (UK) »
I'm wondering whether there is a verified family tree of Lord W Hamilton already researched anywhere online? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Hamilton_(diplomat)
I am trying to research a potential connection between his children and an Irish family with the name Edgerton.
Where do I look for family trees of the rich and famous of the past?
