M H Arsenal B, Swansea
« on: Sunday 01 July 18 09:45 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone.
In tracing an ancestor I have come across the above address for him - he was listed as a Master Gunner with the Royal Artillery and I am assuming (?) that is was some sore of barracks or garrison - can anyone tell me what it means and if possible where in Swansea it was.

Many thanks

Tracy

Hi - that was very quick !

It's the 1881 census for William Morgan and his family (birth year 1832)  William and his wife Mary and their five children.
