Newport look up
« on: Monday 17 September 07 17:52 BST (UK) »
Im trying to find out about a James Dance born in Abingdon Berkshire in 1873. I know he married a Jane Morris in 1895 and in the 1901 census it gives him as living in Newport and was a railway porter. Id be grateful for info on what happened to him and his wife and if they had any children.
                                          Regards

Jamajo, had a quick look at some Electoral Registers for James Dance checked 1919/20,1926,1934.All had James and Jane Living at 47 Stafford Road no mention of any other Dance family members.The only other people living with the Dance`s  were in 1934 Joseph Edward Groucott and Lilian Groucott.
I believe Jane may have been living there on her own in 1946,but can`t find where I`ve written it down at the moment.

                              Hope this might be of some help.
