Her address was given as Ton Kenfig and his as Morfa Bach
Judith Jones' notes:
I have a sampler that says she was 11 in 1880; her marriage certificate says she was 22 in November 1990 - were people more vague about these things then? She had six children, four who survived infancy.
Their marriage certificate gives Morfa Bach (Water Street, Margam) as his address and I think they must have lived there afterwards.
They moved in 1893 (I think) to Candleston Farm, between Merthyr Mawr and Tythegston - we have a silver dish given by friends in Margam as "a token of kind remembrance on their departure from the neighbourhood, 25 March 1893". They were tenants at Candleston and I'm sure from what my father said that there were Lovelucks at Whitney Farm nearby.
In January 1912, they sold up and moved to Pyle - no land, Evan apparently a fish out of water.
Later they lived in a house in Victoria Road, Porthcawl, next door to Grandma Loveluck (Thomas's widow, Sarah) and Sophia (her other surviving daughter?). My father just remembers Grandma Loveluck - black dress, black ribbon at her throat, white cap, and terrifying!
Eventually they moved to "Egerton", Hookland Road, which had land and farm buildings, and then to 224 New Road, between Porthcawl and Newton, where Ellen lived until she died.
Ellen's daughter was always called Nell or Nellie, so maybe Ellen was, too. I only knew her as Grandma Jones! She was still alive when I was small and we used to go to Porthcawl every summer. The photographs show a small, round, smiling woman (Evan looks much more austere), but she had a reputation in the family for tremendous energy
and determination.
