It’s my gt gt grandfathers and locating him will help finding him on the 1871 census.

Let us know the name & we can have a hunt for the 1871.

Hi all

Thanks for all your advice I’ll look more closely when I get home this evening. The people I’m looking for are Margaret and Michael Lee

Thank you

David

Years of birth for them?
Are they mother and son?  Husband and wife?

Here's a quote from the other thread so I assume husband & wife
I also have the birth certificate of Mary Ann Lee:
b. 20 Sep 1870
Father: Michael Lee / Cinder fitter (I think)
Mother: Margaret Lee
The address looks like Pond Park, Tredegar ... though its difficult to decipher

Cant be doing with reading through another thread -

but might this be Mary Ann and mother Margaret?  Could Leahy be an error for Lee - they are boarders in a house so maybe the householder hadn't got it quite right?

1871
38 Geo Street, Bedwelty Tredegar
H/H of Rees Rees, a puddler and his family
Margaret Leahy 20 married Boarder occupation looks like "Home breaker" (?) bn Llanelli
Mary Ann Leahy 8 mths bn Tredegar

Mary Ann Leahy 8 mths bn Tredegar

After staring at the home breaker forever, I think it says stone breaker?
I did see a Michael Lee in Tredegar (born Ireland) when I was searching before, and from memory, he was a bootmaker and married to a Sarah, so I discounted him.  Maybe I shouldn't have, if Margaret is trying to support herself and child......
