1841/1851 Census

[gimmeatooheys]

Hi Everyone,

I have an Edward Elward or Aylward born circa 1813 in Marcross, GLAM. I have had difficulty finding his parents and his siblings. Could someone please do a lookup in the 1841 & 1851 Census for his details.

Thanking you in advance

Hi,
I've had a look on 1841 census for Glamorgan.
I have one entry for
Edward Elward.

District Bridgend  Enumeration district St Donat's
Piece 1423/06  Folio 003  Schedule 004
Address St Donat's village

Edward Elward 26 b 1815 ag lab
Ann Elward 23 b 1818
William Elward 1 b 1840

I don't know if this will help.
I know the year of birth is a little out and I'm not sure if Marcross is any where near St Donat's either, but if not, at least you can eliminate these from your
search.

I looked under Aylward too but no results found.
Hope this helps a bit.

Hi Laura,

That is definitely my Edward Elward in the 1841 Census, I was kinda hoping that his parents would have been around but obviously not.

Thanks so much

Hi Kelly,
Glad I could help, the only thing I can suggest to find his parents is to get hold of Edward and Ann's marriage certificate. I think parents would be listed on that.
Otherwise try an advanced search on LDS, IGI.

Could you try looking for a William Aylward/Elward and Jane - that's a parentage version that a descendant has come up with.

Thanks again
