Whilst researching my family tree I was directed to look at the Sinnet family who lived in Blaen Dowlais.
They are also referred to in an earlier Census as living in Mountain Hare Road.
They appear to have originated in St.David's before moving to Dowlais and William was the Head of the household.
William was a mariner before changing to a haulier in Dowlais.
My relations on my late Grandmother's side, also from St.David's/Newport Pembrokeshire moved up to Dowlais to live with the Sinnet's after they were orphaned by the Cholera outbreak.
Can anyone tell me if they remember the Sinnet's (extended family) or whether Blaen Dowlais is still there please?I think it was near Caeharris close to the slip road and tips.

Many thanks Jeff.
Can you make contact with them on my behalf and indicate that I would like to get in touch with them please to see if they are the line of Sinnet's which go back to St.David's and hence a distant connection to my family?
Regards

Hi, I'm replying on behalf of Mr Idris Sinnett eldest son of LeviJohn Sinnett. I have informed him of your interest in tracing his family, and is willing to answer any quetions you may have. He does not have internet capabilities but is willing to speak via myself or maybe through a telephone call. Could you please give a little more information about yourself especially the names of the orphans that came to stay with the Sinnett family. Mr Sinnett's mother Irene is still alive at the age of 97 and he would be willing to put your questions to her. I could provide Mr Sinnetts phone number via an email,. regards.
