[clare]

Hi,
    Is it possible for someone to help me please to find the parents & siblings of my grandmother
Elizabeth Mary Williams born 1880     she had a sister named Suzanne Mary Williams
they were born at a place called
 Pen Parcau,   near Aberystwyth, Mid Wales
I believe when Elizabeth was 8 yrs old the family moved to Penrhiwceiber, Glamorgan

I think I've found her in 1901 living with her mother and sister at 15a Rheola Street Penrhiwceiber.

Elizabeth Williams b. 1880 Penparke Cardiganshire - Domestic Servant
Susannah M Williams b.1882 Shop (?) Cardiganshire - Domestic Servant
Mary Williams b. 1845 Benlah Cardiganshire

RG13, Piece 5004, Folio 166 Page 9

I'll see if I can track them down in 1891

[Welsh Jules]

This is from 1891 also living at 15a Rheola St. Penrhiwceiber

Elizabeth Williams b. 1880 Llanbadarn Fawr Cardiganshire
Susannah M Williams b. 1883 Llanbadarn Fawr
Mary Williams b. 1859 (totally different from the 1901 record) Llanbadarn Fawr
Richard Williams (Head) b. 1854 Llanrhysyd Cardiganshire - Coal Miner

Morgan Lewis
William Williams - both lodgers

RG12, Piece 4415, Folio 45, Page 37

And I think this must be them in 1881 .....

Living at Woodfield Street Swansea

Richard Williams b. 1855 Cardiganshire
Mary Williams b. 1849 Cardiganshire
Elizabeth Williams b 1880 Cardiganshire

Richard's occupation looks like "spiller works"? Maybe "speller works"?

Carrying on with who I think is your Richard ....

1861

Richard Williams b. 1855 Llanrhystyd - Servant

Head of household Mary Jones who is "farmer of 85 acres" the farm seems to be called Glancarrog and in Llanrhystyd

1851

The address looks like Tymawr Isaf - but I can't be certain of this

Margaret (transcribed as Louis but form original document could be Lewis) Head b. 1791 Llanrhystyd
Elizabeth Williams b. 1820 Sailor's Wife
William Williams b. 1850
Richard Williams b. 1855
John Williams b. 1855

Hello Jules,
                  That was really wonderful to do all those lookups, thank you so much, I really  appreciate it,  without people like you to help, I don't think I would ever have found my Welsh Family, and with all the different welsh names and spellings, I would not have had a clue

Maybe its 'spelter works'? Swansea was a world centre for tinplate in the 19th century.

Just to be pedantic.

If he worked in a Spelter Works he was working with Zinc.
