I have here a 1893 bc showing "where born" as Bron Y Nant, Dwygyfylchi, Penmaenmawr County of Carnarvon.
Thought that it would be an easy task to find the 1891 census entry for Bron y Nant. Hours later having drawn a blank with findmypast census search for address and trawling through the Penmaenmawr records, I am none the wiser. Can anyone give me a nudge in the right direction please.
Thank you

Who are you hoping to find there :-\ It may help us with the search

the birth certificate is for Jane Ellen Thomas, daughter of John Thomas and Elizabeth Thomas formerly Jones. Trying to find more about her parents, not having much luck so was hoping that I might find find some clue to go backwards.

That agrees with the 1911 and 1901 census results that I have.The place of birth for John Thomas as Bethesda agrees with the 1901 results. Have just realised that I have missed the 1891 census.
What a difference one letter can make, I was trying for Bron y Nant.
Many thanks

I assumed that the link given by rosie was the 1881 result, not 1891
To order my thoughts I have
1911 census for
John Thamas 59
Elizabeth Thamas 44
Jane Ellen Thamas 18
Edward Richard Thamas 17
May Elizabeth Thamas 9 at Glyn terr Capelulo
1901 census for
John Thomas 49
Elizabeth Thomas 34
Andrew Thomas 13
Jane E Thomas 8
Edward R Thomas 7
1891 census for
John Thomas 37
Elizabeth Thomas 24
Andrew Thomas 3
Edward John Thomas 3months
1911 census shows that 5 children born, 1 had died. Am I correct in assuming that the name Edward had been used twice and that Edward John was the one which had died?

It looks as though Edward John died later that year

Caernafon Boroughs absent voters list (Autumn 1918) has Edward Richard Thomas, 9 Glyn Terrace as Pte 35182 in South Wales Borderers. No apparent records that I can see at a quick look other than the Medal Index Card and the Medal Roll.

Thank you for that extra piece of information.
I am trying to help my nephew discover his father's family and it is such information that brings the story to life.
