1871 Census - Humphrey(s)

[davierj]

Request a lookup in 1871 census for Samuel Humphrey(s) and family.   The 1881 census for Dolgellau indicates the following information about the family - Samuel born about 1839, wife Sarah born about 1840 both Montgomery, Wales.   Children - William born about 1862 Montgomery.   John born about 1867, Sarah E. born about 1869 and Eleanor born about 1871 all born Merioneth, Wales.   In 1881 Samuel was a railway porter.

I am primarily looking for actual places of birth rather than just the county.   Also interested in any other information.

Thank you z for the census information and thank you Gadget for all the extra information.   Most useful, Dave

I'm looking at this family as well, and purchased a copy of the marriage cert of Samuel Humphreys and Sarah Bunford.  They were married in Llanwrnog, Newtown Montgomeryshire on 29 Jan 1859, the certificate says 'Samuel Humphreys, Bachelor, Labourer, resident at Brynderwen. No father named on certificate. Sarah Bunford of Walk Mill daughter of Bowen Bunford, Labourer'.
Samuel was born in 1838 son of Eleanor Humphreys, and by the 1841 census was in Newtown Union Workhouse, Llangynog, Montgomeryshire.  He died in 1925 in Dolgelly.  Sarah died in 1931 also in Dolgelly.
Do you have any further information about the Bunford family in particular Sarah's father Bowen?  I see from Ancestry that a couple of Bunfords were transported to Australia from Newtown gaol and a third was given the death sentence.

Thanks

Regret I only have the information as posted earlier by z and gadget.   In addition there may also have been the following children of Bowen Bunford and Elizabeth born in Llanwnog..........William born abt 1838 and Mary born abt 1851.
