Canton-Cardiff
« on: Monday 17 October 11 16:09 BST (UK) »
Hi
Can someone please re-check the 1891 census for Canton in Cardiff [RG12/4398/119/96]; my interest is in Albert Jones, lodger, born c.1866, Llanarthney, Carmarthenshire, occupation police constable listed half-way down the list below.  Unfortunately I have no details of the dwelling, was it a police station? and if I’m not asking too much I’m curious as to what were the occupations of the others listed?  I would appreciate any help.

Samuel Apsee 24
Hubert W Davey 15
Jessie M Davey 20
Caroline Davies 22
William Gill 26
Albert Jones 25
Fanny J S Jones 35
William Jones 31
John Rees 22
David Roberts 21
James Rollings 22
John Thomas 22
Thomas Thomas 25
anything and everything to do with the village of Brithdir, near New Tredegar in Gwent.

Hi, I've just had a look at this image. The address that Albert Jones was living at in 1891 was 66b Cowbridge Road,shown as the Sergents House. The Sergent seems to have a lot of PC's lodging with him .The house prior to 66b was 66a,shown as the County Police Station,Superintendants House. Hope this helps.
