[metrology299]

HELP REQUESTED!

I have  copy of my grandma's birth certificate of 16th May 1890 in the registration district of BEDWELLTY and the sub distrixt of TREDEGAR in the county of MONMOUTHSHIRE.

Her name was Alice Maud WILES.  Her mother was Francis WILES a domestic servant of 16 East Street LOWER GRANGE - Update 1/12/2009 - found 16 East Street, Lower Grangetown which was part of Llandaff in Cardiff in 1881 census - now need to find it on an old map of Cardiff.

The birth took place at 2 Hammond Row Chapel Town Ebbw Vale - Update 29/11/2009 - Now found. Hammond Row was at Brierly Hill on an old OS map.

There are no details of the father. Her mother, Frances WILES was born 16th June 1867 at Derndale Hill Canon Pyon.

Any help in locating

16 East Street LOWER GRANGE - could be anywhere in the district or could be Cardiff?


would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Dear Agaff,

East Street was in Llandaff which is a district of Cardiff.  You may have heard of Llandaff Cathedral.

I found East Street in the 1881 Census which is available free on the following link-

If you input East Street in the Street Box and Cardiff in the residential place box together with Glamorgan in the County drop down box you should get the search results.  These show house numbers 1 to 16.

You may have found a few errors on old birth/marriage and death certificates so I am suggesting that 116 is just a case of a transcription error.

Hope this is helpful.

Kind Regards,
