Hi Everyone
My gg grandfather David Rees, was listed as a retired shoemaker in the 1901 Wales census, in Cilfynydd, he lived with his wife and his daughter, son in law (David Phillips) and family.
In the 1891 census he is listed as a boot and shoe maker, although the name is spelt as Rhys, still living in Cilfynydd.
1881 census living in Clase, still as a boot and shoe maker, the daughter's name is Ellenor though, on Ellen/ors wedding cert to David Phillips she is listed as Ellen, married at the Tabernacle Baptist Church on 25 Dec 1890.
I also have read somewhere that around 1890 there was only about 129 members of this church, is there anyway I could check these records out online as I live in Australia.
My grandfather Evan Phillips was born in Cilfynydd on 26 Feb 1909, address 5 Bedw Road, would there be christening records anywhere, if he got christened.
Would David Rees of had a shop, worked from home or worked for someone else? I am presuming that as he isn't listed as a shop owner he worked for someone else, is there anyway of checking?
I believe David Rees married a Mary Davies, have not checked this yet.
Any info on any of these names would be great. Oops this ended up being longer than I anticipated, sorry!
Thanks
