Lloyd family from Cardiganshire

[hourihane]

Hi
To all the Lloyd family from Cardiganshire my G Grandfather Thomas Lloyd was born in Cardiganshire in 1839. He was the only one of his family to leave Cardiganshire he moved to Coalbrookvale Monmouthshire .I’m trying to find info on the Cardiganshire branch of the family any help please.

Hi Mike,

Cardiganshire is quite a big county - do you have the name of a town/village? And do you know when he moved to Monmouthshire? We might be able to find him on a census somewhere and work back from there,

Best wishes, RuthieB

Hi RuthieB
I’m not sure but I think it could be Newcastle Emlyn. , He is on the 1871 census living Coalbrookvale Monmouthshire with his wife Adeline and 3 children .All it says on the census is born Cardiganshire I have him on all census after that and they all say the same.

Mike.
Sorry to be a bit slow comimg back on this one - i don't suppose you have the marriage certificate for Thomas and Adeline do you? Thomas' father's name would be useful to have.

there's a Lloyd in Monmouth in the 1851 census from Cardiganshire but it's the whole family - not just Thomas - so an extra name would be useful

Cheers, RuthieB

Hi RuthieB
Nice to hear from you I don’t have his the marriage certificate, but his father's name was Thomas Lloyd,

HI
You say your family are from Newcastle Emlyn  a part of the village is in Cardigan and the other in Carmarthenshire depends which side of the river you where born. Just take that on board when looking for certificates.
 I know because I had that problem
