Does anyone have access to the above census please? I have just got the birth cert. back for my granddad and discovered that his parents were RICHARD LEWIS and ANN DAVIES. They were living at 7 Wood Street, Maerdy, Ystradfodwg when his birth was registered in 1902 at Pontypridd. Richard's occupation on cert. Colliery Haulier. I would like to find out where the parents came from originally. Thanks Chris

Hello Simone

Did Granddad have any siblings? Oh yes! Mum thinks he was one of 15 sprogs. She can remember Hetty, Marina, Ann, Edward, Glyn, Thomas, William, Sidney, Dai & my Granddad Daniel. Unfortunately she doesn't know what order they were born in. I have tried looking them up in FreeBMD but got no joy. The only other thing I know is that Richard was killed by a runaway coal truck sometime around 1925-27. I think the miners were on strike (?) and Richard and son Teddy were out picking up coal to fill their hearth. Teddy shouted a warning but his Dad did not hear him. I read up on the history of Maerdy and it was only a small hamlet before they sunk the first shaft in 1876. The area was eventually home to 6,500 miners - which is why I don't think Richard was born there. Would be grateful for any help!

Regards
Chris

Simone you are a star! I would have been disappointed if there hadn't been a Blodwen amongst them. I don't need the census copy as you have kindly given me the info I needed to continue my searches.

Thanks
Chris

Now I need to find out where Rich Snr's wife Margaret (abt 1845) and son David (abt 1861) were hiding when the 1881 census enumerator called. I have found a possible death for Maggie aged 32, so I don't know if she was still around then. I am also trying to confirm her maiden name. I came up with Morgans from somewhere but not sure it's right. A Mars bar to the first person with the answers!

Thanks
Chris
