1861/1871 Census-Nance in Cardiff area
« on: Monday 27 December 04 22:24 GMT (UK) »
I have recently found a family which in 1881 census (on-line)appears to be living at 9 Kymin Terr., Penarth, Glamorgan Ref: RG 11/5289/16/28 by the name of JAMES.  I think it should read NANCE and would be greatful if someone could check it with the original data for me.  William E JAMES/NANCE was 43 yrs. and a coal merchant born Padstow, Cornwall.

If possible could the 1861/1871 census be checked to see if they were still there then.

There are 3 other NANCE families which are in Wales in 1881 census I would liked to see if they were at the same address in 1861/1871.

Emily and family were living at 16 Longcross St., Roath, Glamorgan. (Husband was a mariner).
Horatio and Emma were at Cowbridge Rd., Sydney Villa, Cardiff St John.
Henry was at 14 Stacey Rd., Roath., Glamorgan in 1881 and was a widower by 1881.  This might be the more likely location as the others had children under 10 yrs. old.

The family appears to have moved a couple of times between Cornwall and Wales and it would be nice to find where they were in 1861/1871. 

Any information on the family would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Henry was at 14 Stacey Rd., Roath., Glamorgan in 1881 and was a widower by 1881.  This might be the more likely location as the others had children under 10 yrs. old.

You mention a Henry (not sure of dates for him) but here is an 1841 Glamorgan entry for the name:
