I would like a lookup for my GG-Grandmother Julia McCarthy(McArthy), born February 1844 in Ireland, do not know county for sure, probably Cork.
Do not know the year they moved to Wales, 1850 or later.
Father's name possibly Daniel, born about 1818 in Ireland, county unknown.
Found a family I believe to be them in the 1861 Census living at 56 Pontmorlais in the Hamlet of Garth.
Looking for all family members.
Thank you for your help.

This could be Julia, her mother and siblings in 1851, no father but eldest brother called Daniel - this Julia is a bit too old though.

What at the names of the siblings of the family you have in 1861? It might be easier to find a match then.

Probably unconnected as McCarthy is a common name and there were certainly more than one McCarthy family from Cork in Glamorgan at that time - but if you are missing a David McCarthy born in Cork, Ireland and aged 27 in 1851 there is a person by that name in the County Gaol in Cardiff in 1851.
