1841, '51 Lookups Please - Davies

[flyer2112]

Hello -

I'm looking for the 1851 and possibly 1841 census records for Margaret Davies of Llanelly, Carmarthenshire. In 1851 Margaret was about 22 years old. 

Margaret's father's name is John Davies, who may be a collier (coal miner). 

I believe Margaret's mother's name is Catherine Davies, who is about 65 years old in 1851.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Lou

This looks like Catherine in 1851.Wind Street,Llanelly
H0107 Piece 2468 Folio 333 Page 20.
Catherine Davies,Wife,64,Bread Baker,Llanelly.
Anne Davies,Dau,20,Llanelly.
John Howell,Lodger ,44,Railway Lab,Llanelly.

This is only family that matches in 1841.
Thomas Street,Llanelly.H0107/1379/4.
All born in County.

John David,50,Collier.
Catherine David,50.
Margaret David,13.
Anne David,10.

Now Ancestry could have mistranscribed Davies as David in 1841.However i have in my Tree and know of other people researching the surname David/Davies , that the surname was originally spelt David and later on down the generations changed to Davies.Hope that makes sense.

Thanks, Welsh Lady... those definitely look like the right entries.

According to Margaret's marriage certificate, she was married on Dec. 17, 1852... and she listed Wind Street as her residence.  Do you see any trace of her in the 1851 census?

Thanks,

Lou

Hard to be certain as shes not with her family in 1851 but this one is the right age
