worked for the Railways in Sierra Leone - died therespoke to Lexie 5.6.2002
Ivor remained a Bachelor all his life. Got on well in railways. other families related to Biggs (from Swindon) were quite "senior" in the railways which helped him get jobs. He was sent to places like Sierra Leone. He saved his money and when he came back home (to the Rhondda) he was generous to the family children. He brought home African nick-nacks. The location of these items are now unknown.1891 census

George Galloway, Head, 77, Retired Butcher, Scotland, English speaker
Elizabeth Galloway, Wife, 53, Scotland, English speaker
Frank Galloway, Son, 18, Collier, Glamorgan - Ystradyfodwg, English speakerIn 1861, Cwmsaerbren was separated from the ten households at Tyla Coch by just four households, one at Ynyswen and three at Nanteris. Emailed from request to lookup details of Tylacoch Farm where George was believed to be Bailiff
"You mention that George GALLOWAY was at Tyla Coch in 1854. That year Ann MORGAN owned Tylacoch Farm."The birthdate and parentage of George is based on data provided by Linda. This is from her research and copies of the 1841 & 1851 census data. The 1851 census data is of "Orwell" whilst the 1841 data is from the Parish of Portmoak
The St John the Baptist register of marriage shows George Galloway married on 14.1.1861 to Elizabeth Gordon had a father "Stewart" and a widower. Elizabeth is shown as a Widow and was living in Scotland at the time of the marriage. So George was still in contact in Scotland and both George & Elizabeth signed the marriage certificate, so we can presume he could read and write and may have "sent" for another wife. Since this happened with two of his own daughters (Agnes going to Australia to replace Rachel upon her death) Elizabeth may have been related to Agnes - It is possible.
Evon Williams (Australia) lists his birth place as Markinch, Fife, Scotland with a birth date of 13 June 1813. Robyn Tester (Australia) believes it to be 13 June 1813 (baptism) and 26.5.1813 (birth) at Portmoak.

On the Galloway side I have incorporated the birth dates of all George Galloway's children. These were discovered by Norman Carpenter in the Galloway Family Bible which I believe he saw at Ronald Galloway's house, 74 Miskin Street, Treherbert when he visited there on 21 July 1966.
All the Scottish Galloways were born at Hatton Burn Farm and all christened at Balgedie Presbyterian Church.He is shown in the 1841 census data of Portmoak (age 2) but not in the 1851 census of Orwell. At the age of 12 he may be working away elsewhere or he could have died.
