1890 – Marriage of Edward Territt/Terrett to Elizabeth Francis/Jones in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire

We think this is the 1891 census for Edward & Elizabeth which shows her mother may have married a man called Thomas Jones, leading us to believe that the transcript of the first marriage certificate may be Jones not James.

1891

1891 Census for Ynisgau Street, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire

Edward and Elizabeth had a son, William John, in early 1892. Sadly, William did not survive and was either stillborn or died shortly after his birth.

1897 – Birth of son, John Territt in Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire

1899

1901

1901 Census for '2 Mansill Court, Lower Merthyr, Glamorganshire'

15 October 1904- Merthyr Express

We know that life in South Wales was extremely tough at the turn of the century.
The extracts below are taken from http://www.workhouses.org.uk/MerthyrTydfil/ and briefly explain a little about how life was like in Merthyr Tydfil from 1870's to early 1900's.

1901

We believe that below are Edwards records from Brecon prison registry where he served 14 days for a debt in October 1901 and another 14 days in June 1903. It is hard to imagine the consequences in those times of just trying to make ends meet and feeding the family . The equivalent sum with inflation today would have been like owing just over £100 - a sum that no one could imagine serving 2 weeks in prison for nowadays.

1903

1903-1904

Late 1903 to Early 1904 - Birth of daughter, Elizabeth Territt in Merthyr Tydfil.

1906 

Birth of son Richard Territt in Merthyr Tydfil.

1909
Birth of daughter Bridget Mary in Merthyr Tydfil.

(We know that Edward and Elizabeth had two more children between 1890 and 1911 who sadly died between those years but are still yet to detemine who they were)

1911

1911 Census for '25 Yew Street, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorganshire'

In 1912, Edward is listed as next of kin along with his wife Elizabeth on son Edwards enlistment papers for the South Wales Borderers. His address is confirmed as still being 25, Yew Street.

Again, In Jan 1915 Edward is listed as next of kin on his son Edwards 2nd enlistment records. HIs address is shown as Duffryn, which is now known as Old Duffryn, in Pentrebach.

1939
