When Samuel Daniels was born on December 21, 1891, in Nantymoel, Glamorgan, Wales, his father, Samuel, was 35 and his mother, Gwenllian, was 35. He married Hannah Burrows on October 10, 1914, in Llangeinor, Glamorgan, Wales. They had eight children in 19 years. He died on September 22, 1954, in Chingford, Essex, England, at the age of 62.

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, is shown as a Collier.

It is interesting to see the spelling of his surname on the birth certificate as Daniel and not Daniels. The continual change in the spelling occurred quite a lot with all of my relatives of the name Daniels or Daniel.

Wedding of Samuel Daniels and Hannah Burrows.

Samuel Daniels got married to Hannah Burrows at the Parish Church in Llaingeinor, Glamorgan, Wales. They got married on October the 10th, 1914. The wedding certificate shows that Samuel was living at Brynogwy, Nant-y-moel, Glamorgan, Wales. His profession was shown as a Miner, and his father, Samuel Daniels, was also a Miner.

The two witnesses on the wedding certificate were William J. Daniels, Samuels's brother and Rosie Burrows, Hannah's sister.
