For many years i have sat on this,not knowing much,no more than now :(
William Rowlands born 1845 Roath,Cardiff Glamorgan,parents William & Mary Rowalnds both born Rummney,Monmouthshire William died 1850 & Mary in 1851. At Ty-Draw Cottage Roath.
William & siblings lived quite close even though they were split up,they kept in touch supporting each other.
After many years i finally tracked down William & found him on the 1911 census with his wife Elizabeth nee Davies with their 2 children the only survinig ones.
They stated they were married 41 years ago so around 1870,but in Glamorgan,i have no idea,the only reason i know her surname was Davies due to me obtaining thier daughter Elizabeth Ann,known as Lizzie birth cert,she was born 19/8/1885 at 21 Tramway Aberdare,Hirwain. Other info i have,but not birth certs are Margaret 1875,Mary,1877 & Sarah 1878 all born around Hirwain,problem is on the 1911 census they had a total of 12 chidlren & only 2 living,it looks like Margaret had died as well because there was only 2 daughter with them....I have a lot of 'digging' to do;) I have tracked them back over various census's but not with all the children......They seemd to have died in-between census :>(
I have tried to get their marriage cert,i ordered one & it was the wrong one,but there is no marriage for them,not around the time they put on the census,i know that's not to be taken as truth but i have looked all around the years that i think would fit & there isn't one,unless like normal in my lot,they didn't bother to get married!
Trying to track down the other 8 children is going to be such hard work,:(
If anyone else can spot them,please do let me know.
Thanks,
