Hi Chad
There were at least 2 Slee families in Barry around 1900.My husbands were Arthur and Elizabeth who came from Minehead.They had 7 sons including a Walter James (not yours).Arthur also had a brother named Walter bapt in 1868.
I have a baptism in my notes which appears to be yours
Walter George Slee son of Walter and Harriet of East Barry was baptised on 15 05 1889 at Merthyr Dyfan (in Barry).
I don't have any more.Its possible that there were either no other children baptised or I didn't take note of them as I knew they weren't ours.I will try to check for you.
The 1891Barry Directory shows a Walter at Evans street
The 1906 he was at 178 Barry Dock road
The 1909 shows 178 Barry Road
I will try to have a look at the census for 1891 to see who else was with him in Evans street.
Do you know Ethels maiden name?
I will also try to find the marriage of Walter and Harriet, but its possible that it took place in England.None of the Slee families were originally from Wales.It appears that they came here when the dock was being built.There were a lot of Slees in Devon and Somerset, and I suspect thats where your Walter will have come from.
It would be nice if we could prove that these 2 families were related, but its not easy.It's now the school summer holidays and I probably won't have much time to do any searching until September when my daughter goes back to school.
Let me know if you have any info at all.
Kay
