[The source is, I think, the 1861 Census]

Births in Bridport - 1860-1895:-

John Isaac Welsh Wannell - June 1861
Annie Elizabeth Wannell - Sept 1887
John George - December 1888

I have also sketched out a possible mini-family tree:-

John Wannell (at the top of these notes) marries Anne X (presumably around 1859-60 since Harry was 1 in 1861. They have at least two children: Harry b. 1860 and John Isaac b. 1861. John Isaac marries a Sara Ann Marina Lester [she of the one leg from diabetes] and my granmother, Annie Elizabeth, (later Annie Wright and called Nancy by her husband in letters from Libya in WW1) is their daughter b. 1887.

John Isaac and Sara Ann Marina move to Trealaw on account of the jobs in mining in Tonypandy navigation mine.
