Many thanks, Pat: love the little cream jug (I have a fondness for jugs - no idea why).

I have reached the bottom of my Ancestry DNA match list and am now persevering with Ancestry's hints - only 598 pages to go!!

Sorry I could not attend the zoom meeting but had made some notes

Re Henry Chandler ...

Note the baptism records for the two children born in Cardiff

Gwendoline Elizabeth CHANDLER, 11 Aug 1883

Norman William Gibbs CHANDLER, 30 Dec 1884

Both recorded as being from 11 Salisbury Road

Between the two dates (15 Aug 1884) appeared the following advertisement in the South Wales Daily News.

So was Henry Chandler the District Manager of the Provident Association of London Limited? - was this the job that took him to South Wales?

One more thing ...

The first three boys married in 1902 and referred to father Henry CHANDLER, accountant or clerk

However the youngest, Norman William named father as Harry CHANDLER, no occupation

Food for thought?

My mother did not know that her paternal GF was born in Germany.

I assume that this fact was "brushed under the carpet" due to both world wars.

He did naturalise as a British subject.

...until I began researching our family history this fact was never known in our branch of the family.

I think that this building was a nursing home in 1993 as our daughter worked there as a care assistant before starting her nurse training. We also had neighbours who moved into the home, though I am not sure of the date.

I hope this helps,
