Trancho 1901 Glamorgan Census please COMPLETE

[anneymouse]

I hope I am not making a pain of myself here!  Could anyone look up the 1901 Census for me please, and see if there is any trace of a Trancho family?  I would be eternally grateful

Have you any first names and dates of birth. It would help 

[anneymouse]

Unfortunately I don't have any first names    I am guessing that the head of the house would have been around 20 ish.  Thinking that I better get my grand ma's birth cert and find out her parent's names, probably didn't arrive in Wales until after the Census   Oh well, it was a long shot, thanks for reading anyway

I've found tonight, that it may be Tranco (according to one birth cert)

Hi,

I have read all your posts....the name 'Tranco' as a first and second name is not recorded anywhere in Ancestry all counties Wales/England - sorry

Also I have searched for Ellen Thomas/Ellen Jane Thomas and also Lousia Thomas in Merthyr and Aberdare across census to try find a connection between names but nothing concrete has come up. Although there are plenty with the same namesake.  Needle in a haystack really - sorry.

I also searched to see if there was a Joseph or Henry as a possible father figure to the girls but same as above.

You could try and email the library in Aberdare and request if you can get a possible electrol roll look up for 10 Bank Street 1907.  The address I have is

Menna.James@rhondda-cynon-taff.gov.uk

Good luck

Cas

Thank you very much for your time and advice, I shall do that, I do feel like I am banging my head against a brick wall here!  I can't even find evidence that there was a Bank St :lol:

The route I am taking now is trying to find evidence of William who was Joseph Thomas' brother, born within a year or two of Joseph (1905 - 1909)  His mother was definately Ellen Jane Thomas, and his father could either have been unregistered, Moore, or Pasquale (sp?)  He is the last lead to finding out my great grandad's name.  He spent all of his life in a mental institution (Swansea?) for cutting his father's thumb off at the age of 18

Yipppee, at least now, I have Pura's dad's name - Alexander Trancho, I would imagine that he came to Wales from Spain some time around 1907, so anyone any ideas what route to take now? (given that I believe he was born in Spain)

Thanks Cardiff I think my next step is to visit St Mary's church in Brecon Street and take a look at the graves there.
