Samuel Daniels.
Birth of Samuel Daniels.
Samuel Daniels was born on the 6th of December 1891, at 6 Blaenogwr Houses, Nant-y-moel, Glamorgan, Wales. His father, Samuel Daniels, registered his birth in February 1892. His mother was Gwenllian Jones. His father, Samuels occupation is shown as a Collier.
It is interesting to see the spelling of his surname on the birth certificate as Daniel & not Daniels. The continual change in the spelling occurred quite a lot with all of my relatives of the name Daniels or Daniel.
