EDWARDS of Llandilo - 1871 census *COMPLETED*

[JudyLynn]

Could some kind soul please try a lookup of the John & Mary EDWARDS family in 1871, in or around Llandilofawr?

Here in Pennsylvania, there is a John EDWARDS & Mary (THOMAS) of Llandilo / Llandilofawr with children:
Joseph b. 1856/7
Evan R. b. 1861
John T. b. 1863
Thomas b. 1871/2
+ Jane (who m. a DAVIES and remained in South Wales)

There is a "half-brother" relationship mentioned in an old obit that indicates this family is connected to my own John & Mary EDWARDS.  Several kids’ names are the same in both families, and it’s rather confusing :-)

Many thanks,
~JudyLynn

possible?

Black Horse, Trecastle, Llandeilo fawr RG10/5486 folio 21 pg 10
John Edwards head mar 39 labourer in lime works b. Llangathen
Mary wife 41 b. Llanegwad
John son 7 b. Llandeilo fawr
Thomas son 5 b. Llandilo
Richard son 2 b. Llandilo

There are possibles for Joseph & Evan as farm servants in the Llandeilo area, but not with family.

"ALL things are possible," right? 

I suppose your record could be the folks I'm looking for, but there's no Richard this side of the Atlantic (though he could've died young or stayed in Wales).  And there should be a Jane who remained in Wales.  Evan is the only American who has descendants today, so I'd hoped to see a census with his parents.

Thanks for your time, Osprey.  My actual ancestors John & Mary would be elsewhere with their children named (of course) John and Mary plus Joseph ... argh!
