1851 Census - Bunford

[davierj]

I'm trying to trace the family, in the 1851 census,  of Sarah Bunford, born about 1840.   I know very little about her except that she married Samuel Humphreys in 1859 Newtown district.   The 1881 census shows her as being born in Montgomery but I feel this is just the County of Montgomery not the town.   Also on the 1881 census is an entry for a William Bunford, visitor, age 44.   This could be a brother.

I have a also posted a request for a lookup of her family in 1871, in Merionethshire, which may provide a better indication of her place of birth.

That's probably them as it all fits.   Sarah was married in Newtown district and both Trefeglwys and Llanwnog fall within that district.  I am surprised that it says Merionethshire.

Thank you, dave

Oops,  Sorry, my fault.

It does indeed say Montgomeryshire
