Notes for: Alfred William Vigars

Alfred William was born at Llanfihangel Cardiganshire in 1856 & was with his parents & family at New Row Llanfihangel in 1861. His whereabouts in 1871 is not yet known. When he married Elizabeth Morris at the Liverpool Register Office in 1879 he was a Bookkeeper resident at 36 Gt George Street Liverpool. Elizabeth's address was Bridge Street Carnarvon & her father, who was deceased, also a Bookkeeper. Perhaps they met when Alfred was apprenticed to her father. By 1881 Alfred is a Book Keeper with Elizabeth at 6 King Street Aberyswyth Cardiganshire Wales. They return to the area where Alfred was brought up. When their daughter Catherine is born in 1883 Alfred is now caled an Accountant & they reside at North Parade Aberyswyth. When Elizabeth dies in 1917 they are still there but Alfred is now an Ironmonger. He probably was also an agent for explosives to supply the local mining trade and his Son-in-Law eventually took over the business.
