1911 Census - Snippets

Just had the chance to quickly view Cilymaenllwyd parish on the 1911 Census and found a few interesting items:

Benjamin Lewis aged 67yrs of Pumpsant was classed as a 'jockey'.

John Lewis aged 39yrs of Church Cottage, Login was a G.W.R. Platelayer.

Henry Thomas aged 36yrs of Lletty was also a Platelayer.

Phebe Williams, single and aged 35yrs was shown as the 'Inn Keeper' of 7 room Plascrwn Arms.

There was also two little cottages called Bridge Street (presumably the little row by Login Bridge) - both had only two rooms - in one lived Hester Lewis, 58yrs old and single and in the other was Martha Davies, a 76yr old widow.

John Lewis aged 51yrs and his 25yr old son Alfred Parry Lewis were shown as tailor and shopkeeper and tailor respectively.  They were shown living at 'Login Shop' which had 9 rooms.  Also John's 19yr old daughter's middle name was Cleopatra.

Mary Jones, a 69yr old widow was also a shopkeeper in the 3 roomed Login House.

John James aged 60yrs was a whip maker who lived in 2 roomed Glanrhyd.

Evan Jones was a 25 yr old joiner and cabinet maker in 4 roomed Ael y Bryn.

Philip Thomas was a tanner in 6 roomed Ponprenmiles.

Thomas and Benjamin Morgans aged 33 and 29yrs of 4 roomed Pantycelyn were coal hewers (where I wonder?).

Thomas Lewis aged 39yrs from Underhill I think was a road worker (some descriptions only in Welsh).

David Wilkins aged 21yrs was another platelayer and lived in 3 roomed Mount Pleasant.

John Morris aged 30yrs was shown as a Smith and working Login P.O. with his sister Margaret aged 25ryrs.  The P.O. was shown with 4 rooms.
