Rose

So no father is listed for Ellen?

Rose

Eliza is head of the house. James should be 18 not 78.

Rose

they married on 21st may 1907. Wlliam jones was one witness and Price Powell another (my g grandad)

When did they marry and who did Ellen list as her father? What about the witnesses?

Rose

Ellen married my grandfather Pryce Powell. I have their wedding certificate. My father was Edmund born 1926

Rose

on one of your entries the 1901 census from Brynmawr there is a James Keane listed as 73. Does it say who is head of house?

I'm worried that this is all wrong because we've been working forwards and not backwards. Who did Ellen marry?

Rose

Rose

When my mother was alive she used totell us that our fathers family came over from Ireland (according to him). In the 1910 census the Keane famly has relatves living with them from Limerc. That's why I thought to go down that road.

Pat

Pat,

Does this make sense? Or are you sure your Ellen is related to the Keane family?

Rose
