Notes
1. Alice was living in Cheshire when the 1911 census was taken: she is recorded as a widow. No record of her death has been found.
2. The 1871 census for Cardiff records 31-year-old Philip and 35-year-old wife Mary Ann living at 257/258 Bute Street. Philip is recorded as a general outfitter. The family appear to have been living at their shop, as the address is in a street with other commercial premises nearby. Sons Francis, Walter and Barnard are listed in the household, as well as two shop assistants and a servant.
3. Cyril died at sea in 1945 while serving with the Royal Navy.
