1871 and 1891 lookups please
« on: Tuesday 06 December 05 18:46 GMT (UK) »
I have determined that my search for my ancestor William John Thomas B1868 at Maesteg gives his father as James Thomas B 1844 at Liedhaven in Pembrokeshire. By 1881 James is shown with no wife ,and siblings William John B 1868 at Maesteg, Martha E Thomas B 1866,Mary Ann Thomas B 1877 and Thomas Charles Thomas B 1877 all born Maesteg. The 1881 census was CWMDU which is very near Maesteg. They live at 9 Temple Street.

So any information on the 1871 and 1891 census would be most welcomed . Many Thanks.

Sorry for not thanking you much earlier. I am still to get a birth certificate that hopefully does show The middle name JOHN for my William Thomas. But it looks a good match to date.
