Find Ancestors

I dont think the death entry for 1954 tie's in with her age!

Julie I don't think that the marriage in London is connected to you, the full cert is on Ancestry on the London Records

Julie what an awful story about your grandmother.

Just out of interest I looked on the Ancestry Phone books for 1930 and though I coudn't find anything in Newport there is a Rogers Bakery at Hill St, in Abertillery which is north of Newport

Thankyou, that is interesting about the bakery at abertillery, would you know how I could trace who lived there at that time? I wonder if it was Laura's parents or brother who had the bakers shop? and my aunt nan were just told it was her grandma and grandad? I also have found out that my grandma Ethel came out of the abergavenny hospital in 1956 until 1959 as a voluntary patient and lived in chepstow during that time on Howells Row. do you know if or where I can access electoral records for those years in that area on line? she went back into the hospital in 1959. kind regards Julie

Julie you can't access Electoral Rolls on line. Historic ones are kept at the nearest large library.They are only searchable by address

You would have to google for that and then contact the local Studies officer.

Some will do for free if it takes less than half hour, some charge, as you have a street address shouldn't be too difficult

good luck

thankyou for all your help, Would you know how or if I can trace the owners listed as rogers at the bakery in abertillery that you found in the phone book? kind regards Julie

well it was 1930 so I doubt they will still be there. You would have to have an Electoral Roll search to get any more names or find the local paper and put a letter in

Julie. Have a look at this site:

http://www.abertillery.net/oldabertillery/memories.html

Someone by the name of Hemmens talks about his grandfather working at the bakery in Hill St although he doesn't give dates. Scroll down the page to find his post.

There is a forum on the site so you could try asking there.

Good luck

Another Julie
