Title: 1891 census lookup completed
Post by: VivienR on Saturday 12 September 09 20:51 BST (UK)

I have William Jones b 1832 Michaelstone, Glamorgan wife Sarah Jones born 1843 Rhymney Monmouth and children David b 1873 Maesteg and Mary Hannah b1880 Maesteg in the 1881 census living on Cymmer Road in Llangynwyd Higher in the 1881 census.  I have found them in 1871 too.

I have William and Sarah in 1901 and 1911 living on Abeywnfi farm in Blaenwyfni Port Talbot but I cannot find them anywhere in 1891.

I have tried a number of times but no luck.   Would really appreciate it if someone could track them down in 1891.  Thanks for any help you can give me

Thank you so much, Osprey - that does look like the right family.

Aha - now I know why I couldn't find them.  Other than William the rest of the family is transcribed as Janes not Jones.
