This is the closest census I can see after marriage. Charles is a builder born Cardiff but birth year is 1866 not 56 and Mary Jane also says born Cardiff. Also a problem with Martha, 64 and Elizabeth, 28, both listed as sisters but one widowed the other married but both name Wood. |

Just stumbled across this discussion, as I am wrapping up some work on the history of the house that I lived in as a child. I see that Mary Knight lived in one of the Cotlake Cottages in 1871. I remember seeing what was left of those in 1960, before they were ploughed over as old field boundaries were grubbed out. By then, the cottages had decayed into stony, weed-grown mounds. They were in a very odd location, unique in my experience, being three-quarters the way up Cotlake Hill, surrounded by fields with no proper connection to the road network, though there had been a lane between hedgerows -- though one too narrow for any wheeled vehicle. I have a bit more information, if it would be of interest. |
