Rees Family tree
« on: Sunday 19 July 09 21:51 BST (UK) »
hi all
       I am new to this web site and hoping that i can get help with my husbands family tree.
I am searching for any photos/ information of the Rees family from Tirymyndd farm birchgrove Llansamlet. The names I am researching are Richard and Sarah Rees married in 1896, they then moved to bryncoch neath on the 1901 census, where my husbands father was born later in 1904.
There was as far as know 10 children that Sarah had, but sadly only 6 children survived, the names of the surviving children were David Richard, Janet Gladys and John henry[who's birth i can not find] and also Sulgwyn and Elizabeth Mary.
I hope that there is some one out there who can help me .

When they married in 1896 was Sarah a widow or a spinster


Based on where they are living 1901 and 1911 the registration district is Neath

GRO Index  All registered Neath
David Richard 1895 mothers maiden name Eveleigh
Morfydd 1896   same
Eleanor 1898    same
Mary 1899        same
Ceinwen 1901   same
Sarah Elizabeth 1903  same

-----------------
Sulgwyn 1904 mother's maiden name Evans
Llewlyn  1910  mmn Evans

----------------------
The Janet Gladys you mention born 1900 was registered Swansea  mmn Evans, is she the one you think is Jennie G

Thanks for the clarification

Confusing as their registration district was Neath.

KGerrad, That is not always the case. I have been searching for travellers where birth, registration and baptism are miles apart, even months and years apart. What was his job? I assume they knew Swansea better than Neath, they may have had connections there, or worked there, so it would seem appropriate to register in Swansea.

As far as I am aware births had to be registered in the district where they occurred.  That doesn't mean that everyone felt it necessary to follow the rules. 

David was born in Llansamlet which was in the Swansea district, Janet was born in Llangyfelach which was also in the Swansea reg. district.
