Hello,
I am researching my family history and have discovered that seven of my great-great-grandfather's cousins, all born in Ashcombe, Devon, moved to Merthyr/Aberfan at the end of the 19th C.
Mary A Small (b.1859) married John James Hibberd, a coal cropper. In 1891 they lived at 29, Taff Street, Merthyr Tydfil , in 1901 at Cemetery House, Merthyr, and in 1911 at 4, Wingfield Street, Aberfan. They had 10 children.
Ellen Small (Mary's sister, b.1863) married John Samuel Crebey, a coal tipper, then church worker, then cemetery sexton. In 1891 and 1901 they were living with Mary and John Hibberd, but in 1911 they were living in Cemetery Lodge, Aberfan. They had one child (?)
John Mudge Small (Mary and Ellen's brother, born 1860) married Sarah Ann Matthews. In 1901 they lived in Merthyr Vale where John was the foreman of the Gas Works. In 1911 they lived at 11, Mackintosh Street, Aberfan. Their son, Richard Thomas Small, married Ethel Novello Morgan.
William H Small (b.1867) married Jemima. In 1891 they lived in 26, Taff Street, Merthyr. Jemima died in 1891 (?) and William married Catherine, still living at 26, Taff Street in 1901.
Emily Small (b.1870) died in Merthyr Tydfil in 1953.
Susannah Small (b.1872) married John Evans, a coal tipper. In 1911 they were living with Ellen and John in Cemetery Lodge.
Josiah Small (b.1874) stayed with William Henry at 26, Taff Street in 1891, but lived with sisters Mary and Ellen and husbands John and John in 1901 and with Ellen and John in Cemetery Lodge, Aberfan. Josiah was a coal tipper at Nixon's Colliery.
If anyone has any information about any of these people or their descendants I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
