Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Helen, hope you don't mind but I've broke your message up to make it easier to read and to extract info to search on: I've lost Joseph Davies completely and the Renfrey family. The info I have is in the 1901 census: 47 telelkebir road llanwonno catherine renfrey 53 wife cornwall james h renfrey 27 son glam swansea edward renfrey 23 son glam swansea rupert renfrey 13 son glam swansea joseph davies head glam pensarn mary e davies wife glam swansea joseph j davies son glam swansea samuel a davies 4 son glam hopkinstown llanwonno pontypridd may c davies 10 months glam hopkinstown llanwonno pontypridd. This is my grandmother Mary Catherine Davies - I have her birth certificate as confirmation. I have Mary Elizabeth Renfrey 21 - father James Henry (haulier) and Joseph Davies 28 (father deceased cattle dealer). Marriage certificate 1892 Swansea for both their address is 25 Pedler street, brynhyfrydd, swansea. I have sent off for Joseph's birth certificate but while I'm waiting i keep trying to find them - nothing for Joseph in all the census - i have lost the renfreys in the 1891 and the 1881 census. 1st where is Pensarn for tracing Joseph? and has anyone any ideas on finding the Renfreys in 1891/1881?
