Hi
Another member is looking for information on their father. Can anyone help?
This is what they said...
"Hi I am trying to find out if my dad was born in your village. His birth certificate gives the address as 52 Dinas Road, Dinas County of Glamorgan. Do you have such an address? His family name was Bailey his dad was James Patrick and his mothers name was Ada nee Wilmot and his name was Desmond Francis David and he was born in 1928. We are trying to put together a family history and unfortunately don''t have too many clues to go on. Anyway if anyone can help that would be fab. Kind regards Jan "
From what i can see on Google Maps the nearest road of that name is actually in Penarth

Unfortunately I can't find any record of the above being born in 1928 in Glamorgan, however I have found a census record for an Ada Wilmot in 1901 aged 6 and she lived in Penarth. Penarth used to be one of the 5 Parishes of "the hundred of Dinas Powys" (hundred refers to the 12000 acres covered by Dinas for tax and admin purposes many moons ago) So perhaps Dinas Road is the one in Penarth as said before and in those days everything was listed as Dinas. Just a thought! Scottish records are much easier cos every parish record is online now, we've got a bit of catching up to do! Hope it might help a bit.
