Find Ancestors

Hi Everyone

I've receieved the Death Certificate for my ggg grandmother and am having trouble finding the place where she died in 1874. It looks to me like Tips or Tups but have googled , checked maps, etc so am hoping someone here can please help.

Am happy to email certificate if anyone would like to help.

Kind Regards

OMG!! What a brain freeze I had not posting those details - Sorry!! :-S

Treforest, Eglwysilan, Wales at time of death certificate in Sep 1874.

Hi Tracy

What was her name please?

You can PM the certificate to me and I'll take a look if you like

Googled and a place called 'Taff Valley' is showing?

Hi Gins

Her name is Mary Hurdidge nee James. She died Sep 1874 in childbirth. It's only where she died that I'm interested in and also hoping to locate where she is buried.

I just pm'd the certificate to you. Thanks for your help :-)

Had a quick look but cant make it out, it defo begins with T

:-(

Thanks Dea :-)

Have just pm'd certificate to you.

I'm assuming she died giving birth to Hannah, whose birth and death were registered in the same quarter. Have you considered getting her birth cert for place of birth? Or do you have them on the 1871 census - i can see them 1861 but not 1871.

(above, looks like second article from bottom could relate to missing 1871?)

(not wanting to confuse with query of this 'Thread' though!)

It certainly looks like 'Tips' to me - could the address relate to some sort of accomodation for workers on the coal tips> - There would have been plenty of them in the area?

Did her husband work in the mines?

Chris is right - the child's birth cert might help as it could show the same address.

Thanks Chris - no point in trying again to find the census, if we couldn't find it last year it's not going to suddenly turn up now!

Unless someone can decipher the death cert don't think you'll get very far without going through parish records.

Please remove the obscenity from your 07.04 post

Thanks for all your input..really appreciated. Will keep looking but if anyone finds another possibility please let me know.

Not related to this post but bought up earlier.....Apparently the 1871 Census for this part of Pontypridd was lost somehow...such a shame as so many questions could have been answered.

And sorry Reggie for offending you...had no idea that word was an obscenity...duly noted and removed ;-)

Tracy, Gins, Dea - mail me the cert?

I'll take a look when I get home

Jude

I am itching to see if my ageing eyes are still functioning lol :-)

Is anyone about to mail me the image?

Been at work all day

I'll PM it to you now

Thanks Gins (I finish at two on a Friday)! Will take a look shortly

Jude

Well I have looked at it until I am blue in the face....to no avail.

I think it is a T something f ...

I would suggest you get Hannah Hurdidge's birth (or death) certificate - she is almost certainly the child that Mary died giving birth to.
