I thought it would be straight forward, but having a google has confused me re St Clements Road School. |

Still on the trail of the Littlejohns (& thank you, Gritty for the above). I'm trying now to determine whether Matthew (husband of Ellen Jane Brooks) was related to John Littlejohns, the political activist and author. John Littlejohns was born in the same year as Matthew in a different part of Devon (Tavistock). His family moved from Devon to Glamorgan (Aberdare) in 1866. Matthew Littlejohn's family also moved to Glamorgan (Neath) in the 1860's. Did they choose Glamorgan because they had relatives there? John Littlejohns, Matthew's father, worked in the Welsh mines in the 1880's. John Littlejohns from Tavistock took up the cause of Welsh miners. John Littlejohns parents came from farming stock in Tavistock. Their names were James Littlejohns and Elizabeth Burn. Can't pinpoint either of them - and Littlejohns and Burns weren't rare names in the West country. There was a Martha Littlejohns who married a Thomas Burn in Tavistock and they had a son James in 1853. This obviously cannot be the father of the political John Littlejohns but the coincidence of the family names is interesting. Does anyone have any info on the ancestry of the Aberdare branch that might link them to the Neath branch? - or disprove any link? |
