Hi Julie

Just posted a reply to you and it got lost in the ether, so try again!

Have you got the family in 1861?  They are all together and William is amongst them!

His place of birth is given as Newland (also the census place) and he is 9 years old.  Father jospeh and Frederick also present.  Can post if you don;t have it?

Ref:  RG9/3980   76   6

Oh yes, also Mother in law, Maria THOMAS.

Over to you cuz!

 ;)

 :o :o :o :o :o

Well  :o  I mean  :o what can I say  :o

You did it again - hadn't got as far as the 61 - sometimes I'm just too methodical :-\

This transcribing thing is a bit of a nightmare as well >:(

Found some of my Stiff rellies in 91 transcribed as Triff ??? ???
Only did that because another rootschatter found them on the 61 under yet another variation ;D

What would family research be without absent relatives and wonky handwriting :-X

Regards

Julie :)
Stiff - Monmouthshire & Glos, Parry - Monmouthshire
Stafford - Glos, Liles - Glos, Bright- Glos, Webb - Monmouthshire & Glos, Smart - Glos, Smith - Glos
Sullivan - Ireland, Jones (oh dear! Almost as bad as Smith), Walker - Somerset, Llewellyn
And, no don't laugh...Crump...I think it's great!

And of course, if I ever do manage to do a successful look up it is crown copyright and all that legal stuff!

I take that as a Yes then??  ;D

You are quite right to be methodical - you can miss all sorts of things by leaping across censuses, but in this case...I cheated!

Just not sure where William got to.  There IS a candidate in 1871, but he has another SMITH with him, who doesn't belong.

11 Lower Main Street, Llanover, Blaenavon

William SMITH lodger U 19 - miner - Gloster
Robert SMITH lodger U 30 - ditto - ditto

Head of household William BRYANT also born Gloster

Forgot to write down the reference last night  :-[

It is a possibility, bearing in mind they came & went in south Wales, but I wouldn't hang my hat on it.

NB: This is not MY Robert SMITH, so we are still not properly related!  ;D

Thanks again  :)

Sorry, should have made myself clear :-[  I have got access to the 61.

I'm sure we will find a connection one day ;D  You may not want to admit it if we ever do, mind :-\ ;D

I know you posted a longtime ago, but I've just been pointed here by a helpful man on FB.  You and I are related! My Gt Grandfather was Fred, from Brickyard Row! I won't post more now in case you are no longer monitoring this thread.

Hi Linda

How exciting! Julie hasn't been on RC for a while now but it would be great if she pops up in response to a real cousin making a post!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you both :)

Kind regards, Arranroots :)
