I think you may have "spoken" to my 3rd cousin June. She & I met for the first time as a result of finding each other researching the same family over the net!
It certainly looks possible we may be connected - hope you don't mind me asking some questions?
When was your Thomas Griffiths/Stephen Griffiths living at Brynhenllan?
When were they born/did they die?
Do you know where they were born?
Birthplace and year of birth for Thomas is of particular interest as I have my John Griffiths birth details and parent names and having the above detail may help prove a connection?
Another thing that puzzles me ....
On the 1851 Census, the data the enumerator recorded for Dinas seems very random? It appears he recorded the information as it "came in" rather than in order of the actual dwellings.
On page 7, I have John Griffiths (50) with wife Charlot (60), daughter Mary (20) & grand daughter Eliza James (2 - my Gx2 Grandmother) living at "West End Bwlchmawr" (as distinct from just Bwlchmawr).
On page 8, at what looks like a separate household (there is a house called Penffordd in between) is my Gx3 Grandmother Hannah James & son John James (1). Address given is "West End Bwlchmawr".
On page 10, I find Ann Griffiths (25 Mariner's Wife) and her son John Griffiths also at "West End Bwlchmawr".
My question is this - was West End a single house/dwelling or an "area" of Dinas - were all these people actually living at the same house or were they neighbours, maybe in a row of houses?
As soon as I hear back, I'll look through the info I have and see if we have a match!!
