A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Sger from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "SKERR, a quondam extra-parochial tract in Lower Kenfigg parish, Glamorgan; 6½ miles W of Bridgend."
- the text in this section is based on an article in Wikipedia
Sker Point is a headland in Bridgend County Borough on the South Wales coast between Port Talbot and Porthcawl. It marks the south end of Kenfig Sands.
Nothing has been found about Sger as a civil or ancient parish.
Research Tips
- GENUKI on Glamorgan Lots of leads to other sources and descriptions of former parishes.
- The FamilySearch Wiki on Glamorgan has recently been updated (early 2016) and looks remarkably like Wikipedia. Their map "Glamorgan Parish Map.jpg" enlarges to show all the original parishes. The sub-section "Parishes of Historic Glamorgan" lists all the parishes of Glamorgan and the newer preserved counties and principal areas in both English and Welsh. (Currently this website is still under construction.)
