1841 Cadoxton? - Richard & Jennet Richards

[CatOne]

Could sks please lookup Richard Richards and wife Jennet/Janet on the 1841 census?

They should have a son, David age about 3 with them, possibly a newborn Edward....... On the 1851 census, Jennet (stonemasons widow) is living with sons David (1838), Edward (1841) and daughter Lucy (1846) in Neath Abbey, Ystradgunlais, Cadoxton Juxta Neath, Glamorgan.

Jennet was 38 on this census so born c.1813 Neath Abbey.

Also can anyone can find a marriage record for this couple or their christenings (is would seem they were both from the Neath Abbey/Cadoxton area)

Thanks for any help

I'm currently researching Taillwyd area of Neath Abbey which includes Heol Draw and Taillwydon.  I am looking for any stories relating to families that lived there.  If you have any I'd be delighted to hear from you.
