Title: search by place name
Post by: k.whigham on Tuesday 15 February 11 13:16 GMT (UK)

Is it possible to search censuses for place names instead of people names?
   My ancestors lived at Cwmemlew, Disserth but both died in 1870s when their children were too young to take over the farm.  I am interested to find out who took over the running of the farm at Cwmemlew.

Thanks, Kathryn

Hi Kathryn,

it is possible to do an address search but the two names you have listed are coming up blank

Is it near a village?

Hi
As far as I know, Cwmemlew - or Cwmemblew - is the farm name, Disserth is the village or district.

Thanks, Junev - which census wer the Hammonds in residence?
