Two Locks

Hi all, does anyone know who lived at No1 Two Locks Llantarnam in 1891 census please. I have this address mixed up in my records and I can’t think why. Cheers, Phil.

there are a few pages of cottages on Two Locks Road but the houses themselves are not numbered. So, depending which way the enumerator walked,

What surname would you have been searching?

Hi Osprey,the name is Phillips and I have them down as living at 3 prospect place but for some reason I have written two locks on the paper, Phil.

Two Locks is the name of a suburb in Cwmbran.
Prospect Place looks to be in that suburb?

Hi KGarrad, I have a living relative residing in the Two Locks area and he seem to think Prospect place is a little bit further away.

Ah, a discrepancy between Ancestry and family search. It’s the same family at both addresses then. I wrote it down years ago and am revisiting this part of my family because of a dna match, Phil.
