Hi Roger
Thanks for the details, I already have his service records but I thank you all the same.  I needed some background info and Isobelruss kindly helped with the census.
Best Regards, Roy

I found the following marriage on Freebmd: Marriages Jun 1869   Lemuel Jenkins and Mary Walters,  Merthyr T.
and the 1881 census @ 18 Lower Row, Merthyr Tydfil, Glamorgan, Wales
Lemuel JENKINS, Head, 34, Night Overseer Coal Miner, Blackwood, Monmouth
Mary JENKINS, wife, 31, Dowlais, Glamorgan
Margaret JENKINS, daug, 11, scholar, Dowlais
Susan JENKINS, daug, 10, scholar, Dowlais
Ann JENKINS, daug, 8, scholar, Dowlais
Edward JENKINS, son, 6, scholar, Dowlais
Thos.Walter JENKINS, son, 1, Dowlais

I would appreciate a look-up on the 1871 for the family and if possible locating Lemuel Jenkins on the 1861.

Thanks, Roy
