William and Mary Austin (nee Francis)
« on: Sunday 27 September 09 16:50 BST (UK) »
Could someone tell me if its possible to find an employee of the The westgate hotel, Newport sometime in the 1880's.  My great grandmother, so the family legend goes was a cook at the hotel.  Her name was Mary Austin nee Francis born 1863 Michaelchurch, Herefordshire.

Hi Trish,

Have you looked for her on the 1881 Census for Wales?
